XARVELLOTIS -REMEDY!
FOR A MARVELLOUS AGE(! !
ILO,LLOWAY'S Q.INTAIENT.
THE GRAND EXTERNAL REMEDY.
By the aid of a microscope, we see millions of little openings ow,
the surface of our bodies. Through these this Ointment, when
rubbed on the skin, is carriedtto any organ or inward part,.
Diseases of the Kidneys, disorders of the Liver, affections of the,
Heart,..)nflammation of the 'Lungs, A,stlimas, Coughs and Colds,,
are* its means effectually cured.. Every housewife knows that
salt passes freely through bone or meat of any thickness. This
healing Ointment far more eefulily penetrates through any bone
or fleshy part of the living body,• curing the most dangerous in-
weed complaints, that cannot,be reached by other means.
ERYSIPELAS, RH EUMATLS NI AN D SCOIII3UTIC H UNIOUILS.
NJ remedy has ever done so much for the cure of disenee of
the Skin, whatever form they: may assume, as this Ointment.
Scurvy, Sore Heads, Sezofula, or Erysipelas, cannot long with-
stand its influence. The, inventor has travelled over many parts
of the globe, visiting the principal hospitals, dispensing thisOint-
meut, giving advice as to its application, and has thus been the
means of restoring countless numbers to health.
SORE LEGS, BAD IMENSTS, WOUNDS AND ULCERS.
Some of the most scientific surgeons now rely solely, on the use
of this wonderful Ointment,, when having to cope with the worst
cases of sores, wounds, ulcers, glandular swellings, wed tumours. '
Professor Holloway has dispatched to the East large shipments
of this Ointment, to be used in the worst cases Qt wounds. It
will cure any ulcer,, glaiidular swelling, stiffness or, contraction of
the joints, even of 2.0 years' standing.
PILES AND FISTU LAS.
These and other similar distressing complainiscan be effectually
cured if the Ointment be well rubbed ix over the parts affected,
and by otherwise following the printed directions around each
pot.
ASTOUNDING CURE OF A BAD LEG., AFTER 16 BONES
WERE TAKEN OUT"!
Copy of a Letter from Mr. John Anthony, of Llanver-nr-y-bryu,
Llandovery, Carmarthenshire, dated March 16, 1835.
To Professor Holloway.—Sir,—For upwards of ten years I sief-
fered with a bad leg, accompanied with a white swelling. 1t was
confined to my bed fur two years anti a half, and when I was suffi-
ciently strong to leave it, 1 went out on crutches, but inifortu-
nately fell down and broke my leg hone, this again threw me on
my bed for nine months, during which time I had sixteen pieces
of bone taken out of it. I consulted some of the most clever
medical men in Carmarthenshire, Breconshire, and Glamorgan-
shire, but they could not cure me. At last, I was persuaded to
give your Ointment and Pills a trial, which I did, and by con-
tinning with them for one month, my leg was perfectly cured,
after ten years of the most severe suffering,--I remain, Sir, yours
obediently, (Signed) JOHN ANTHONY.
The Ointment and Pills should be used in the following eases:—

Insurance Notice

It may perhaps be stivposed that however close tin. ,_„se
narrow the meshes which are entwined round the party n'int
life is the subject of assurance—however minute and import!i:,
and liable to error are the facts, and yet stringent in consuttat'
e,
of law are the terms of the declaration he is. called upon to e,
yet that by great care he !nal be able to comply with everi,,,,
mend, and escape withouti re forfeiture of his policy. But the);
cannot do ' • for there is aometking yet more demanded of 11.'0
before lie becomes entitled to a. policy—a requirement in rti„,
the greatest amount of care,,and prudence, and scrupulous s.
racy is of no avail. The proposer must give the names of Ine;*
cal attendants and two friends, each of whom returns ansif.;,
to a long list of questions.. and the facts and statements 7,;
received by the company, :lthough the proposer is not
acquainted with any one of theinrare yet as much the subjects!,
warranty as his own declaration so that a wilful or innaelo.
error in answer to any of the questions put to these referees a` e'
3s effectually vitiate the policy, as if had preceded from ,
assured himself. We can make room for only one example of to
provisions just noticed, which we select from a large family
similar cases, and from the practice of a• highly respectable otee'j
Wilshere v. The Law Life. Wilshereresided near London, an,
on•several occasions had consulted a Lorton physician as to 111.1,
health, besides having the advice-of a country gentleman. .r
came to London to effect an assurance on, his life, and, in anstV'o
to the question, " Who is your ordinary medical attendant',
gave, the name and address of the London physician, with Wigln
report and that of their own medical exsamitser, the director!;
the company were satisfied. Some years alter that Wilsher'
died, and his executors were defeated in a claim against the CO
parry for the sum assured, merely, and upon no other ormolu'
because the name of the surgeon, and not that of the physician'
ought to have been inserted in the proposal.
In consequence of this state of matters,there arosein the Publ„igs
mind a general feeling of insecurity in •bife Assurance, which
increacett by the perusal of numerous cases occurring in the colt,
of law- and reported in the newspapers, most of them at t"„(
instance of assured parties against Life Companies, ban manY
them in 'which Life Companies were arrayed against each other's
The great desideratum was to make po7scies indisparable, so Tie
to remove all doubt, and dissipate every.apprehensien as tote;t.
certainty...of the sum assured being paid when, it became
o
whereby the public generally would be benetited,.and the nusine
of Life Assurance much extended.'
" The indisputable Life Policy Company." undertook.this ta. ,
and in order most effectually to make the-policies they issued ln
disputable and certain documents of security, they inserted tiie
following clause in their Deed of Settlement, thereby creatitr
an effective and legal obligation, imperative upon.the ConapanY
fulfil, and which it is the right of every assured member to plea
and insistArpon :
Clause BW. " That every Policy issued by Me Company. shall be
indefensible- and indisputable, and the fact •of issuing the dam.;
shalt be conclusive evidence o!! the validit!pof the Policy-J. and,"
shall not be lawful for the Company h- delay payment of fl
money assured thereby on the ground of, any ernoron4sdake,oi
omission, however important, made by on on the part of the pa'
son or persons effecting such Assurance;. and, that, on, the cot;
trary, the amount so assured shalt be paid•at the time stiyulate!
by the Polley, as if no such error, mistake, or oinission,.itad bee'
made or direavered."
We have said that the above clause forms n.part‘of the Deed ,01,
Settlement of the Company, and that deed being registered:
terms of the Act 7 and 8 V ,ict. c. 110. there is nothing wanting '
give it the fullest effect. it is not merely to be found M.a Pr%
spectus or other circular, which may or may not be obligatorY
the Company, according to eircumstances,,.but it forms -a COra'
ponent part of the existence of the corporate body. A more Pc%
raise of indisyntability is not enough. Snob. a clause as the &A',
is required to- give legal efficacy. It appears to have been.eareo
fully and anxiously prepared, for the purpose of cutting 7,
every gronott •and pretext of dispute as to the - validity of t.,
Policy ; and,we confess that we cannot find any words. or series
of sentences- more operative, effective, or.compulsory for Of,
purpose. la.: order the inure effectually. to show this,.
would invite • onr readers to compare this clause- with t",
law as laid. down by Sergeant Marshall in the passaP,
already quoted from that learned authority. The inni6o
putable clause says—" Every policy issued • by the Company SO,
be indefeasible and indisputable, and the faot of issuing the-ser,
shall be conclusive evidence of the validity of the polity." .0
Sergeant Marshall, speaking of the classe.ortlinarily insertitaqu
policies, says "It is quite immaterial for what purpose- or Kite
view it Triwarrant] is made • but boing,onee
policy, it becomes a binding condition sn the assured,.and,unaS
he can show that it has been complied;w4ll), .he can deriee,r;
benefit from the policy." In other words, an itlisp.utable-pot/
when once !soiled, declares that, de facto, all precedent gnestiF.ci
are held to.have been finally settled, whereas an ordinary.Podo
declares on-the face of it that the Directors retain the powerl
keep all these questions open to dispute, until they bare adult,,.
paid the amount of the policy to the executors. Again,.the
putable clause says, " It shall not betairtul for the CompanY,,f,
delay payment of the money assured, on. the grouud.of any. err ri
mistake, or omission, however impoi.;:ent, made byve on the Po t
of the peram or persons effecting suchinsurance.' Mr,.Sergel.
Marshall,,on the other hand, says, "-The very meaning of a Nag
ranty is to preclude all question whether it has been. sutistantis''„;
complies) with or not. Whether the thing warranted was mater!,,
or not, vtliether the breach of it proceeded from fraud, negligettn
mis-information, or any other cause,,the consequence is the-eatie
—i.e, tho policy is void." In the next place, the indisputs.4l
clause stLys. that, "on the contrary, the amount so.assured
be paid at the time stipulated by the policy, as it no such erru,..„",
mistake, or omission, had been inaileor.discovered."' Mm
grant Marshall says, " The warranty . makes the contraot 111rj
theticall.that is, it shall be bindings the warranty is. conorfree
wills. The only question is, has the thing warranted.taken.P44
or not': • if not, the assurer is not answerable. forany
thottot it did not happen in consetmence of the 7..fseach of the sefol
runty."' Can anything be more conclusive than this. in.prenibie
the superiority of the Indisputable Policy 7. The Indisputl4o
Policy settles all precedent questions—au ordinexy,policy
them all unsettled. An Indisputable Policy declares, by tlistAr';g,
fats of its iesue, that all questions relating to the health, hatil;j,
age, &a., of the assured are, as floras the Company is csneeit.to
set at rest for ever—an ordinary policy leases- these poi,'
optrt,to dispute, until the claim. has actually been .discharged.
