DEAFNESS CURED By no means until Actina was dis covered. Ninety-five per cent. of all cases of Deafness brought to our attention are the result of chronic catarrh of the throat and middle ear. The air passage becomes clogged by catarı hal deposits, stopping the action of the vibratory bones. Until these deposits are removed a cure is impossible. The inner ear cannot be reached by probing or spraying, hence the inability of Aurists or Physicians to cure. Ear drums are worse than useless. It is folly, therefore, for deaf persons to hope for a cure by the old methods of the aurists and physicians, and instead of wasting precious time and money on methods that never have cured Deafness or Catarrh, they should awake to the times and apply the scientific cure. That there is a scientific cure for Deafness and Catarrh is demonstrated every day by the use of ACTINA. The vapor current generated in the ACTINA passes through the Eustachian tubes into the middle ear, removing the Catarrhal obstructions as it passes through the tubes and loosens up the bones (hammer anvil and stirrup), in the inner ear, making them respond to the slightest vibration of sound. BEQUESTS FOR HOME MISSIONS. When you make your will do not fail to remember the great cause of the evangelization of America. A conservative estimate places the population of the United States before the close of the present century, at not less than three hundred million. Think what that means! How important it is that they shall be Christians! The Home Mission Society is girding itself anew for the performance of its portion of the mighty task of winning North America for Christ. It can be done. It ought to be done. It will be done if the Christians of the present generation do their duty. If you cannot give your money now, do not fail to make provisions in your will for carrying on this important work. During the last twenty years the Society has received from legacies alone nearly two million dollars, an average of nearly one hundred thousand a year. One of these bequests was the magnificent sum of two hundred and forty thousand dollars. Do not be afraid of making your gift too large. See that your will is correctly drawn Ringing Noises in the Head. and properly witnessed. ACTINA has never failed to cure this distressing symptom. The vapor current passes quickly and freely through the Eustachian tubes, removing the catarrhal substances that obstruct the easy exit of the wave sounds. We have known people troubled with this symptom for years to be completely cured in only three weeks' use of the ACTINA. As deafness and ringing noises are caused from Catarrh, the hearing cannot be restored and noises stopped till the Catarrh is cured, and as Catarrh cannot exist under the use of ACTINA no person need be deaf or have ringing noises in the head if they will use ACTINA properly. ACTINA also cures Asthma, Bronchitis, Sore Throat, Weak Lungs, Colds and Headache; all of which are directly or indirectly due to catarrh.
