THE SUCCESSFUL RESULTS OF THE LAST HALF CENTURY

HAVE PROVED, BEYOND QUESTION, THAT
LOWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL
IL possesses peculiarly nourishing powers in the growth,
restoration. and improvement of the !lumen Hair. It prevents
it from falling off or turning grey, strengthens week hair,
cleanses it from scurf and dandritt and makes it beautifully soft,
curly, and glossy. In the growth of the Beard, Whiskers, and
Mustachios, it is unfailing in its stimulant. For children it is
especially recommended as forming the basis of a beautiful head
of hair. In all climates it alike displays its incomparable results,
and has long been an established fmourite in India.

FIRE BIIANCIL—The Fire Premium in 1850 amounted to
about ;50,000/., placing the Company among the very largest
offices in the kingdom; indeed, it is believed that there are only
three or four offices which equal it in tire revenue. Insurances
are received upon neatly ail descriptions of property in the
United Kingdom, the colonies, and most foreign countries; the
rates of premium are exceedingly moderate, and governed in
each case by a careful consideration of the risk proposed.
LIFE. BRANCH.—The Life .Revenue during the past year
amounted to about 40.0001., the new premium+ alone exceeding
10,0001. A bunua was declared in lati4 of 21. per cent, per annum
on the sum assured, averaging about eighty per cent. of the
premiums paid, being one of the largest ever declared. All the
insurances effected during the present year will participate in
the next bonus in 1659.

The paid•up and Invested capital, including, life funds, amounts
to nearly half a million sterling.
