The funds are accumulated for the exclu isve benetit of the policy-holders, under their own immediate superintendence and control. The profits are divided annually: and applied in reduction of the current premiums. PoiUcy, holders participate in profits after payment of live ennui pre IlliUM. ------- The Annual General Meeting of this Society win held on the 30th May, 1654, when a Report of the bushier& for the lot year was presented, exhibiting a statement of most 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 4tin, and the annual income thereon being upwards of 7,5001. It also appeared that, except iu 1e49, when the visitation of the cholera took place, the claims arising from deaths were, in every year, much below their eaU mated amount. The Members prevent at the Meeung were fully satisfied with the Report, and resolved unanimously that a reduction of ale per cent. should be wade in the current year's premium payable by all policyholders now entitled to participate in the prods. Credit is allowed for half the Annual l'reiniume for the first five years. • The following Table exemplifies the effect of the present re ductiou Age whe.

Extract from "THE LANCET," July 29, 1964. " After a careful examination of the different kinds of Cod Liver Oil, Dr. de Jongh giver the preference to the Light Brown Oil over the Pale Oil, which contains scarcely any volatile fatty acid, $ smaller quantity of iodine, phosphoric acid, and the ele ments of bile, and upon which ingredients the efficacy of Cod Liver Oil no doubt partly depe.mds. Some of the deficiencies of the Pale Oil are attributable W the method of its preparation, and especially to its filtration through charcoal. In the prefer ence of the Light Brown over the Pale Oil we fully concur. " We have carefully tested a specimen of the Light Brown Cod Liver Oil, prepared for medical use under the direction of Dr. de Jongh, and obtained from the wholesale agents, Messrs. ANSAR, HARFORD, snd C0.,77, Strand. We find it to be genuine,and rich in iodine and the elements of bile."
