TESTIMONIAL FROM The late DR. JONATHAN PEREIRA, Professor at the University of London, Author of " The Elements of Materia Blediea and Therapeutics," itc. kc. "My dear Sir—l was very glad to find from you, when 7 had the pleasure of seeing you in London, that you were interested commercially in Cod Liver Oil. It was ftit'ng that the Author of the best analysis and investigations into the properties of this Oil should himself be the Purveyor of this important medicine. " I feel, however, some diffidence in venturing to fulfil your request by giving you my opinion of the quality of the oil of which you gave me a sample; because I know that no one can be better, and few so well, acquainted with the physical and chemical properties of this medicine as yourself, whom I regard as the highest authority on the subject. " I can, however, have no hesitation about the propriety of re sponding to your application. The oil which you gave me was of the very finest quality. whether considered wjah reference to its colour, flavour, or chemical properties: and lam satisfied that for medicinal purposes no finer oil can be procured. " With my best wishes for your success, believe me, my dear Sir, to be very faithfully yours, (Signed) "JONATHAN PEREIRA, " Finsbury-square, London, April le, 1851. I "To Dr. de Jongh."

Vickery. . . This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance. The funds are accumulated for the exclu nave benefit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually, and applied in reduction of the current premiums. Poliicy holders participate in profits after payment of live annual pre miums. The Annual General Meeting of this Society was held on the 30th May, 1854, when a Report of the business for the last year was presented, exhibiting a statement of moat satisfactory pro gress. It appeared that the assurances in 1853 considerably ex ceeded those effected In any previous year; the number of policies issued being more than 460, and the annual income thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except in 1849, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their esti mated amount. The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of dli per cent. should be made in the current year's premium payable by all policy-holders now entitled to participate in the profits. Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years. The following Table exemplifies the effect of the present re duction Age wheal Assured. Amount) (Assured.] I Annual Prem.
