The. ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING of this SOCIETY wits
held at •Edinburgh, on Tuesday theist of May, when the following
REPORT by the DireCtOrS-VtaS read and unanimously apprated
of:—

In reporting to this, the Twenty-fourth Annual- General Meeting
of the-Society, the Directors are-happy to have is in their power
tc-
announce the conti nneti prosperity of the Institution.
During the year closed on.-Ist March last, the -business has been
as fOIIOWS

628 Policies have been issued.
The Sums Assured-thereby amount te.e284,670;
And the Annual Premiums thereon to 9,041. ,
The,- bnsiness thus transacted somewhat exceeds that of the pre-
vious-year; and -when regard is had to the depressed state of
trade during the last twelve-months and other-influences conse-
quent on the war, unfavoutable to twelvemonths,
Assurance, and also when
the netnerous rival Institittiona which have arisen, and-,are in
operation in England, are kept in view, the Directors see much
reason to congratu!ate the Members on the -position which- the
Sociely.has so successful;y•maintained.
Ninety Members of the Society have died during last yeas;. and
the claims which have thereby arisen, amount, including 49' ;424
of Bonus Additions, to 67,-894. This sum,,.though large, is
greatly within the amount reckoned to arise according to the
Tabre of Mortality on which the calculations of the Society
proceed.
The position of the Society at Ist March-was as follows,
Existing Assurances,
Annual Revenue,
163,394
And the Accur.elated Fund is incrsed to 910,515.
showing an increase of ..t'10,500 in the Annual. Revenue, and of
upwards of ..71,000 in.the Accumulatad Fund during, the past
The. Directors have already adverted to the increasedicompeti-
tion in Life Assurance„ and they would remind their fellow-mem-
bers that, while this-adds to the difficulty of obtaining business, it
ought also to increase the efforts made for that purpose, not
merely by Officers and Directors, but by every person connected
with our Society. It is.surely not too much to expect that, with
proper care and elergy, the superior claims of an,oldfOffice with
Large Accumulated-Funds, and the assurance of liberal Adhihons'
to Policies, ought. to be fully recognised by the pulal:e.
The Directors with much satisfaction state, in conclusion, their
having no reason, to .doubt that the Bonus which falls to be de-
clared at the nant Triennial investigation, a twelvemonth hence,
will equal that made at the allocation of 1833..

posses-
awn of a Medicine of known efficacy, that may be. resorted to
with confi advantages
de
ness, occurring in familiea more or less every day,,,,are so obvious.
to all, that noinestion can he raised of its importance to every
housekeeper in the kingdom.
They are an excellent aperient, create appetite, relieve lanuor,
and invigorate the. spirits, and if taken aitte- an indulgrace at
table, they quickly restore the system to its natural state of repose.
" For upwards of nine years (writes Mr. Thomas Province, of
Winchmare Hill, Middlesex,) I have experienced the efficacy of
this excellent Medicine, I had long previously been atiticted with
headache. and indigestion ; but a friend: having induced me to
make a trial of Frampton's Pills, I now inform you that a few
doses gaye me great relief ; and during this long period of time
I have taken them in preference to any, other medicine; and I
have the happiness of saying that I never had a better state of
health, which / attribute to Frampton's Pills, I beg further to
add, that this medicine is in genar,al use by my family, and we
know of nothing to equal it."
Persons of a Full Habit, who, are subject to Head-ache, Giddi-
ness, Drowsiness, and Singing, in the Ears,arising from too great
a flow of Blood to the Head, should never be without them, as,
many dangerous symptoms will be entirely carried off by their
immediate use. For Females, these Pills are truly excellent,
removing all obstructions, the distressing Head-ache so very pre-
valent with the sex ; Depression of Spirits, Dulness of Sight, Ner-
vous Affections, Blotches, Pimples, and Sallowness of the Skin,
and give a healthy and juvenile bloom to the complexion. To
Mothers they are confidently recommended as the best medicine
that can be taken; and for children of all ages they are
unequalled. As a pleasant, safe, and easy Aperient, they
unite the recommendation of a mild operation with the most
successful effect. By regulating the dose, according to the age
and strength of the patient, they become suitable for every case,
in either sex, that can be required.
