uextra-
ordinary CURE of a SKIN DISEASE.—Mr. C. Smith,
the noted boot and shoe maker, of 115, Tooley-street, London,

cipal hospitals, and the one for diseases of the skin, yet he de-
rived no benefit by their Medicine—Holloway's Pills alone have
been the means of effecting a perfect cure.

FOR EVERY DESCRIPTION OF LIFE ASSURANCE.
IMPORTANT ADVANTAGE TO ASSURERS.
NON-FORFEITURE OF POLICY.—A most desirable pro-
vision is made for assurers in this Association, who, from any

premium on an assurance. After five annual payments on a
whole term of life policy, the Directors will at any time give the
assurer a paid-up policy for the amount he may have paid,
securing that sum to his representatives at death. Thus, sup-
peoing a person aged thirty to have assured, for 1,0t0u1., with
profits, for the whole term of life, and paid live years' premiums,
he would under such elm- misnames have paid the sutu 01 1131.
as. Should he desire then to drop the assurance, or if he be
cAnpelled to do so, be may receive a paid-up policy for that
auount, This would be au absolute and indisputable reversion,
payable to Ms representatives after his death.
