Dear Sir:
Your Appliance did all you claim for
the little boy and more. for II cured him
sound and well. We let him wear II for
about a year in all. although II cured
him 3 months after he had began to
wear II. We had tried several other
remedies and got no relief. and I shall
certainly recommend II to friends, for we
surely owe II to you. Your respectfully.

and more each day. Data that y now

There is no one feature OF an electric

factor in bringing about this popular

grounded IN the business, having "a

NEW MOTORCYCLE
TRACKAT COLUMBUS
FASTEST IN COUNTRY
One-half Mile Board Course
Is Expected to Break
All Records.
BY HARRY WARD.

washington motorcyclists who are
members of the Federation Of American
Motorcycbsts are predicting that the
one-half mile board track now under
construction at Columbus, Ohio, for the
1912 national meet Of the F. A. M, will
be the fastest track in the country. The
belief exists that a mile will be turned
Off in 36 seconds before the meet is
ended J
The F. A. M. convention and race meet
are to be held at Columbus July 17H
and the chances are that a whole string
OF new records will be hung up. At
least, this is the view of thousands Of
motorcyclists all over the United States,
and every one of them who can pos
sibly get away is going to be in Column
l'bus for the meet.
Most of the board tracks are one
third and one-quarter mile courses, and
the half-mile track at Columbus natur-
ally has advantages over them. Also, It
will have the advantage Of new ideas
In track construction. 1t is certain to be
safe-and almost equally certain to be
the fastest course in the whole country.
Big Entries Assured.
With such q track, the prizes, cups
and medals to be offered are sure to
among them will be the names of all
the motorcycle speed kings" Those
who attend will undoubtedly see the
! greatest exhibition of the speed, relia-
bility and safety of the modern motor
cycle that has ever been staged.
One of the attractive features of the
#. A. M. meet is the four-legged tour
which precedes the meet. These tours
will start from Baltimore, Md, Albany,
! N. Y, Chicago, and Louisville, Ky. E.
@. Baker has been chosen as tourmaster
from Louisville; R. s; Morton from AL
bany, and ]. A. Robson from Balti-

that II will enter Columbus at II o'clock
