Experience.
From the Evening News, Detroit, Mich.
Prominent among the business men of
Detroit, Mich, is Patrick H. Monahan,
who resides at 199 Baker street.
He has been actively engaged in the
grocery business for the past forty
seven years, of which forty-tWo years
has been in Detroit. Coming here near
ly half a century ago he started into
business at the corner of Second and
Jefferson avenues, and for years cater
ed to the marine trade. From Duluth
to Buffalo his name as an honorable,
honest boat supply man was we'll
known to all bOatmen.
No matter what time of day or night,
the Monahan Marine Grocery was kept
open for the convenience of the lake
beats. He is undoubtedly the best
known and oldest retail grocery dealer
in Detroit. He has been successful in
business by his square dealings, and
is yet to be found behind the counter
any day at his large store, corner of
Twelfth and Baker streets. To a re-
porter he recently said:
"When we first opened the Jefferson
avenue store we had to work day and
night. The vessels that needed sup
plies, wanted them right off and We
had to jump all the time. The reason
vesselmen patr0niZed US, was because
we filled their orders at once. Every
hour counts with them and we had
double set of clerks that worked day
and night. To tell the truth L have
been hustling all my life No man can
succeed in the grocery or any other
business without hustling. Some peo-
pie hustle too much, and | was one of
them.
about four years ago I had to give
up on account of my back giving out.

ly the pain was SO severe that | had to
stop work For a week I sat around
the house and then had to go to bed.
| became worse instead of better The
old family physician said that 1 had
worn myself out by hard work. l did
not do much for nearly two years, and
doctored for my kidneys. My friends
| advised me to try different remedies
that they had faith in, and [ tried
nearly all of them. 1 was ready for any
remedy that would relieve the unbear-
able pain in my back, but 1 did not re-
| ceive any benefit.
Il read considerable during my sick
ness and in my daily paper l noticed
frequently different articles regarding
the wonderful cures made by DR.. Will
| liams' Pink Pills for Pale People, and
how the pills contain, in a condensed
! fern, all the elements necessary to give
! new life and richness to the blood and
restore shattered nerves. One day l
| read of a case like mine, in which a
| complete cure had been effected. That
| convinced me that the pills had merit
and I decided to try them as they cost
only so cents a box (never in loose
fcrm) or six boxes for $3.50, and could
be had at any druggists, or by mail
from the Dr. Williams Medicine Com
! pany, Schenectady, N. Y. The next
| day 1 asked the druggist regarding
! them He said, We sell large quanti-
| ties of the pills and they are we'll rec

| of health to pale and sallow cheeks,
! arising from mental worry, overWork
| or excesses of whatever nature. 1
| bought a box and took it home, and
! commenced to take the pills. Before
I had taken one box that intense pain
! which for fifteen years had nearly kill
| ed me was gone. 1 continued using
| the pills until l had taken four boxes,
! which made me feel as we'll as [ had
| for years previous to my sickness. My
friends noticed the change at once and
| were more than pleased to see me out
| again. l continued using the pills, and
| in less than sixty days 1 was so much
| improved that | was able to attend to
| business. That is why [ tell every one
