Attention.
From The Detroit Evening News
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from
che din and turmoil OF the business
centre, there are many attractive
homes. The intersecting streets are
wide, clean and shaded by large, leaf
covered trees, and the people you meet
are typical of industry, economy and
honest toll. There are many pretty
residences, but none more inviting in
its neatness and home-lilxe comfort
than that of Mr.. Levi Elsey, the we'll
known builder and contractor, at IA
Moran street just off Gratiot. Mr..
Elsey is an old resident of Detroit,
having moved here about forty years
ago. He has erected hundreds of
houses in different parts of the city,
and points with pride to such buildings
as the Newberry &c Mcmullen and
Campaw blocks, in which he displayed

l don't think there are many towns in
America to-day equal to it in point of
beauty. 1 know almost everybody in
the city, and an incident which recently
happened in my life has interested all
my friends.
''It is now about eight years ago
since 1 was stricken down with my
first case of illness. One cold, buster
ing day, l was down town and through
my natural carelessneSs at that time [
permitted myself to get chilled right
through. When | arrived home that
evening / felt a serious pain in my left
leg. bathed it that night but by
morning I found it had grown worse.
In fact it was so serious that l sent
for my family physician, and he in
formed me that [ was suffering fir ON
varicose veins. My leg swelled up to
double its natural size and the pain
increased in volume. The agony was
simply awful. was laid up and never
leftmy bed for eight weeks. At times
I felt as though l would grow frantic
with pain. My leg was bandaged and
was propped up in the bed at an angle
of 80 degrees in order to keep the
blood from flowing to my eXtremities.
81 had several doctors attending me,
but I believe my own judgment
helped me better than theirs. After
siege of two months [ could move
around, still l was on the sick
list and had to doctor myself for years.
was never really cured and suffered
any amount of anguish.
about two years ago I noticed an
article in the EUening Ne1cs about my
friend, Mr.. Northrup, the Woodward
venue merchant. In an interview
DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale i'eo-
pie and that they cured him. I knew
him very well, having built his house
out Woodward Ave. and | thought I
would fellow his suggestion. must
confess l did so with marvellous sue
cess. From the time began to take
the Pink Pills 1 felt myself growing to
be new man. They acted on me like
a magical stimulant. The pain de-
parted and I soon was as strong and
healthy as ever. Before trying the
Pink Pills I had used any amount of
other medicine without any noticeable
benefit. But the Pills cured me and I
was myself again.
''When a person finds himself re-
lieved and enjoying health he is apt to
expose himself aga n to another attack
of illness. Some three months ago
stopped taking the Pink Pills, and from
the day 1 did SO, noticed change in
my condition. A short time since l re-
newed my habit of taking them with
the same beneficial results which met
me formerly. l am again nearly as
strong as ever, although l am man
about Sc years of age. 1 tell you, sir,
the Pink Pills are a most wonderful
medicine and if they do as we'll in other
cases as they did in mine they are the
best in the world. freely recommend
them to any sufferer -
