THE FATE tf S PRUIMT MIR1NE GROCËRYMaN. P. H. Monahan, one of Detroit' s Oldsst and Best Known Merchants Meets with a Serious Eiperience Frovi the Evening News, Detroit, Midi. Prominent among the business men of Detroit, Mich., is Patrick H. Monahan, who resides at 199 Baker Street. He has heen aetively engaged in the grocery business for the pastforty-seven years, of which förty two years lias heen iu Detroit. Coming here nearly a half a century ago he started into business at the corner of Secoiid and Jefferson Avenues, and ,for years catered to the marine trade. From Duluth to Buffalo liis name as an honorable, honest boat supply man was well known to all boatmen. Xo matter what time of day or night, the Monahan Marine Grocery was kept open for the convenience of the lake boats. He is 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 Tweïfth "and Baker Streets. To a reporter he recently said : "When we flrst opened the Jefferson Avenue store we had to work day and night. The vessels that needed supplies, wanted them right off and we had to jump all the time. The reason vesselmen patronized us, was because we filled their orders at once. Every hour counts with them and we had a doublé set of clerks, that worked day and night. I have been hustling all my life. No man can succeed in business without hustling. Some people hustle too much, and I was one of them. "About four years ago I had to give up on account of my back giving out. It had bothered me for years. For a week I sat around the house and then had to go to bed. The family physician said that I had worn myself out by hard work. I did not do much for nearly two I years, and doctored for niy kidneys. My friends advised me to try remedies that they had faith iu, and I tried nearly all of them. I was ready for any remedy that would relieve me, but I did not receive any benefit. "I read considerable during my siekness and in my daily paper I noticed frequently articlea regarding the wonderful cures made by Dr. Williams' Pink Pilis for Pale People, and how the pills contained, in a condensed form, all the elementa necessary to give new life and richness to the blood and restore shattered nerves. One day I 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 50 cents a box (never in loose form) or six boxes for $2.50, and could be had at any druggist?s, or by mail from the Dr. Williams' Medicine Company, Schenectady, N. Y. The next day I asked the druggist regarding them. He said, 'We selï large quantities of the pills and they are well recommended by the purchasers.' They huild up the biood, and restore the glow of liealth to pale and sallow cheeks, and effect a radical cure in all cases arising from mental worry, overwork or excesses of whatever nature. I 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 killed me was gone. I continued using the pills until I had taken four boxes, which made me feel as well as I had for years previous to my sickness. My friends noticed the change at once and were more than pleased to see me out again. I continued using the pills, and in less than sixty days I was so mucli improved that I was able to attend to business."
