From the Detroit Evening News.1
Away out Gratiot Avenue, far from the
din and turmoil Of the business center, there
are many attractive homes. The intersect-
ing 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 resi-
dences, but none more inviting in its neat
! ness and homelike comfort than that of MIR.
LevtElsey, the we'll known builder and con-
tractor, at "a Moran street just off Gratoit.
Mr. Elsey is an old resident Of Detroit,
having moved here about forty years ago.
He has erected hundreds Of houses in differ
emit parts Of the city, and points with pride
to such buildings as the Newberry & Nc
Mullan and Campaw blocks in which he dis
played his ability as a superintendent.
II have seen Detroit grow from village
to city," he observed yesterday in CONVEX
sation with the writer, "and don't think
there are many towns in America to-day
equal to it in point Of beauty. know al
most everybody in the city, and an incident
which recently happened in my life has in
terested all my friends.
'sIt is now about eight years ago since
was stricken down with my first case Of
down town and through my natural careless
ness at that time permitted myself to get
chilled right through. When arrived home

leg. bathed it that night, but by morning
found it had grown worse. In fact, it was
so serious that sent for my family physi-
clan, and he informed me that was suffer-
ing from varicose veins. My leg swelled
up to double its natural size and the pain in
creased in volume. The agony was simply
awful. Twas laid up and never left my bed
for eight weeks. At times felt as though
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 extremi-
ties.
II had several doctors attending me, but
believe my own judgmenthelped me better
than theirs. After q siege Of two months I
could move around, still was on the sick
list and had to doctor myself for years. I
was never really cured and suffered any
amount of anguish.
"About two years ago noticed an article
IN the Evening Ne,Cs about my friend, Mr..
Northrup, the W Woodward Avenue merchant.
In an interview with him he stated that he
had used DR.. Williams Pink Pills for Pale
People and that they cured him. I knew
MIN very well, having built his house out
on Woodward Ave-, and thought would
follow his suggestion. must confess did
80 with marvellous success. From the time
began to take the Pink Pills felt myself
growing to be new man. They acted on
me like magical stimulant. The pain de-
parted and soon was as strong and healthy
as ever. Before trying the Pink Pills had
used any amount OF other medicine without
any noticeable benefit. But the Pills cured
me and was myself again.
"When q person finds himself relieved
and enjoying health he is apt to expose him.
self again to another attack of illness. Some
three months ago stopped taking the Pink
Pills, and from the day I did so noticed q
change in my condition. A short time siuce
l renewed my habit Of taking them with the
same beneficial results which met me for

tell you, sir, the Pink Pills are most won
derful medicine, and it they do as we'll in
other cases as they did in mine they are the
best in the world. I freely recommend them
to any sufferer"
