L nave seen Detroit grow from a village

satlon with the writer, land | don't think
Illere are many towns in America to-day

has interested all my friends"
ut is now about eight years ago since
was stricken down with my first case of ILL
ness. One cold, clustering day [ was down
town and through my natural carelessness
at that N l permitted myself to get
chilled right through. When | arrived
home that evening l felt a serious pain in
my left leg. | bathed it that night but by
morning l found it had grown worse. In
tact 1t was SO serious that | sent for nv
family physician, and he informed me that
Twas suffering from v~aricose veins. NV
leg swelled up to double its natural size
and the pain increased in volume. The
agony was simply awful. l was laid up
and never left my bed for eight weeks.
At timesl felt as though l would grow
frantic with pain. My leg was bandaged
and was propped up in the bed at all angle
OF 30 degrees in order to keep the blood
from flowing to my extremities.
Il had several doctors attending me. but
l believe my own judgment helped me bet
ter than theirs. After a siege OF two
months l could move around, still l was on
the sick list and had to doctor myself for
years. was never really cured and suf-
fered any amount of anguish.
"About two years ago L noticed an arti-
Gle in the Evening News about my friend,
Mr.. Northup, the Woodward Avenue mer-
chant. In an interview with him he stated
that he had used DR.. Williams Pink Pills
TOR Pale People and that they cured him.
l knew him very well, having built his
house out at Woodward Ave, and L
thought l would follow his suggestion. l
must confess | did SO with marvellous sue
cess. From the time 1 began to take the
Pink Pills l felt myself growing to be a
new man. They acted on NE like a mag
ical stimulant. The pain departed and L
soon was as strong and healthy as ever.
Before trying the Pink Pills | have used
any amount OF other medicine without
any notlceable benefit. But the pills cured
me and l was myself again. ~
"When a person finds himself relieved
and enjoying health he is apt to expose
himself again to another attack of illness.
Stme three months ago I stopped taking
the PM Pills, and from the day l did so, I
noticed a change in my condition. A short
time since lrenewed my habit of taking
them with the same beneficial results
which met me formerly. l am nearly as
strong as ever, although l am a man about
56 years OF age. l tell you, sir, the Pink
PHI are a most wonderful. medicine and if
they do as we'll in other cases as they did
in min they are the best in the world. I
freely recommend than to any sufferer"
