"Actina," a Wonderful Discovery
Which Cures Diseased Eyes, No Matter
Whether Chronic or Acute Without
Cutting or Drugging.

There is no need for cutting, drugging or
probing the eye for any form of disease,
for a new system of treating afflictions of
the eye has been dis-
covered whereby all
torturous and barbar-
us methods are elimi-
nated. This wonderful
treatment takes the
form of a Pocket Bat-
tery and is known as
"Actina." It is purely a home treatment
and self-administered by the patient. There
is no risk of experimenting, as thousands
of people have been cured of blindness, fail-
ing eyesight, cataracts, granulated lids and
other afflictions of the eye through this
grand discovery, when eminent oculists
termed the cases incurable. This wonderful
remedy also makes the use of spectacles un-
necessary, as it not only removes the weak-
ened and unnatural conditions of the eye,
but gives it a clear vision. J. N. Horne,
Waycross, Ga., writes: "My eyes have been
wonderfully benefited by Actina." W. R.
Owens, Adrian, Mo., writes: "Actina saved
me from going blind." R. J. Reid, St. Au-
gustine, Fla., writes: "Actina removed a
cataract from my son's eye." Robert
Baker, 80 Dearborn street, Chicago, Ill.,
writes: "I should have been blind had I
not used Actina." A party of prominent
citizens have organized in a company
known as the New York & London Electric
Association, and they have given this meth-
od so thorough a test on hundreds of cases
pronounced incurable and hopeless that
they now positively assure a cure. They
have bought all American and European
rights for this wonderful invention. Actina
is sent on trial postpaid. If you will send
your name and address to the New York &
London Electric Assoiciation, Dept 215, 929
Walnut street, Kansas City, Mo., you will
receive absolutely free a valuable book,
Prof. Wilson's Treatise on the Eye and Its
Disease in General, and you can rest as-
sured that your eyesight and hearing will
be restored, no matter how many doctors
have failed.

Death for an American Deserter Who Led
Filipino Insurgents.

Manila, Dec. 10. — David Fagin, a negro de-
serter from the Twenty-fourth infantry,
who, for more than two years had been
leading Filipinos against the Americans,
has been killed by native scouts at Benga-
bon, Nueva Ecija. The scouts cut off Fa-
gin's head and found his commission in the
insurgent army. He was wearing the
class ring of Lieutenant Fred W. Alstaet-
er of the enginers [sic], who was captured
by the insurgents in October, 1900. Fagin
had several times been reported killed.

First Lieutenant Frederick W. Alstaet-
er of the engineers, whose West Point
class ring was found on one of Fagin's
fingers, is now stationed at Fort Leaven-

The Avalanch[e] of Pension Bills, If Passed,
Would Bankrupt the Government.

Washington, Dec. 10. — About 1,000 pension
bills already have been introduced in Con-
gress. Some of these bills, if they become
law, would add about 100 million dollars a
year to the pension expenditures. If by
any possibility they could all become law
it would take all of the revenues of the
government to meet the expenditures called
for.
