Beware of Ointments for
Catarrh That Contain Mercury
is mercury will surely deatroy the sense
of smell and completely derange the
whole system when entering It through
the mucous surfaces. Such articles should
never be used except on prescriptions
from reputable physicians, as the damage
they will do is ten fold to the good you
can possibly derive from them. Hall's
Catarrh Cure, manufactured by F. J.
Cheney & Co., -Toledo, O., contains no
mercury, and Is taken Internally, acting
directly upon the blood and mucous sur
faces of the system. In buying Hall's
Catarrh Cure be sure you get the genu

The Excelsior Reels off the Miles while
Others Stop to Catch Their Breath
The Excelsior is the fastest stock Motorcycle in the world. It has
a certain "snap" and "punch" that, just carries its riders in perfect
safety to easy victory.
The best part of it all is that the EXCELSIOR "always, makes
good." You can depend upon that absolutely and positively. No other
machine has a show when the Giant-powered "Ex" is on the entries. We
back up our statements -with pictorial proof and uncontrovertible facts
The records below are of the races hr!d at Portland, Ore. They are
more than cut and dried figures. Please note these interesting facts:
In Race No. 6 the winning "Ex" was a special stripped stock. Mo
tor made 5 miles in 4:40 from a standing start.
The fastest mile was reeled off in 51 seconds flat. This machine
was used by Mr. L. C. Rose, president of the Excelsior Motorcycle Co.,
Inc., of Portland, Oregon, for 17,000 miles, and has never received the
slightest bit of repairs outside of two new piston rings two days before
the race.
The 5 mile professional 4 H. P. ported race was won by Mr. Sim
mons, a 180 pound man, on an "Ex" which ran 68,000 miles in actual
service for the Portland R. L. & Power Company. And so it goes. Be
hind each "individual Ex" victory is a bit of interesting history.
