THE PRESS, OCTOBER 17,1857. IMPERIAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, 1, OLD BROAD-STREET, LONDON. Instituted 1820. T. GEORGE BA RC LAY, Esq., Chairman. MARTIN T. SMITH, Esq., M.P., Deputy Chairman. One-third of the Premium on Insurances of 5001. and upwards, for the whole term of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, to be paid off at convenience, or the Directors will lend sums of 501. and upwards on the security of Policies effected with this Company for the whole term of life, when they have acquired an adequate value. Four-fifths, or do per cent. of the profits are assigned to Poli cies every fifth year, and may be applied to increase the sum assured, to an immediate payment in cash, or to the reduction and ultimate extinction of future Premiums. At the fifth appropriation of profits for the five years termi nating January 31, 1856, a reversionary bonus was declared of 11. 10s. per cent, on the sums insured, and subsisting additions for every premium paid during the five years. This bonus, on policies of the longest duration, exceeds 1:1. ss. per cent. per annum on the original sums insured, and increases a policy of 1,0001. to 1,6381. Proposals for Insurances may be made at the Chief Offices, as above; at the Branch Office, 16, Pall-mall, London; or to any of the Agents throughout the kingdom.

THE OBJECTS MOST TO BE DESIRED IN EFFECTING A LIFE ASSURANCE.—These are, Perfect Security and the Largest Benefits in proportion to the Contributions paid. They are both fully attained in the SCOTTISH EQUITABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY, which is now of Twenty-sic years' stonding, and possesses Accumulated Funds, arising from the contributions of Members only, amounting to upwards ot One Million Sterling, and has au Annual Revenue of upwards of 17t,0001. The MUTUAL PRINCIPLE being adopted, the entire sur pluses or " Profits," as ascertained Triennially, are allocated in addition to the sums Assured, and they present a flattering prospect to the Members. For example: the sum now payable on a Policy for 1,0001., effected in• 1831, is 1,5901. bs. Btl., being a return of Seventy-one per Cent. on the premiums paid on middle-aged lives, and Policies effected in later years are simi larly increased. The NEXT TRIENNIAL DIVISION of PROFITS will take place on let MARCH, 1859. HEAD OFFICE, 26. ST ANDREW-SQUARE, EDINBURGH. ROUT. C HRISTI E, Manager. WM. FINLAY, Secretary.

"Dr. Granville has used Dr. tieJongh's Light-Brown Codtiver Oil extensively in hi , f practice, and has found it not only effica cious, but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be prefer- able in many respects to Oils Bold without the guarantee of such an authority es De Jongh. Dn. GRANVILLE HAS FOUND THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED EFFECT IN A SHORTER TIME THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE ADMINISTRATION OF THE PALE NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil being, moreover, much more palatable. Dr. Granville's patients have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jongh's Light-Brown Cod Liver Oil." Sold ONLY in IMPERIAL Half•pints, 25.
