P HE PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE was the origi-
.l nal Office which effected Insurances upon the principle of
combining the security of an adequate permanent Capital (in ad.
dition to the fluctuating Funds arising from the Premiums), with
the beneficial rule of returning, at stated periods, the surplus of the
annual Premiums to the Contributors, after paying losses and ex-
penses. The importance of this improvement is acknowledged by
extraordinary public approbation, and by the numerous imitations
of it, which new Offices have lately offered, and which older ones
have adopted, in changing their constitutions. The principle is of
chief value, because as it yields, by the specific sums insured, and
the return of the surplus, the fullest value for the deposits, persons
have no reasonable motive fur venturing on the lure of reduced and
insufficient premiums, which has led to such frequent instances of
disappointment and ruin.
Bonuses of IV. fps. and 261. 12s. per cent. have been divided
during the last fourteen years.
Permission is granted to all persona whose lives are insured at
this Office (not being mariners in the exercise of their profession),
to pass by sea in whole.decked vessels or steam-boats, from one
part of the United Kingdom to another, and also in time of peace
from British to the Foreign Ports between the Texel and Ilrest in-
clusive, without Licence and extra Premium, as is generally required.
fildiary Men insured at this Office are not charged with any
additional Prarnium, unless called into actual service.
No Admission Fees are required, nor is any charge made for
Policies, except the Stamp Duty.
Advantages thus extensive and substantial having been constant-
ly realised during a period of seventeen years, the public will rea-
dily appreciate the difference between the value of Policies loaned by
this Office and by others.
Agents are appointed in all the principal towns.

FOX'S VEGETABLE CREAM FOR IMPROVING THE
GROWTH OF THE HUMAN HAIR.
T FOX. HAM CUTTER to his Royal Highness
Cr • Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, recommends to Ladies
and Gentlemen, with a confidence resulting from a long trial of its
excellence, his VEGETABLE CREAM, as the most elegant
and efficacious article now in use for imparting a delicate softness
and gloss to the Hair, which it strengthens and preserves. Its
surprising property of restoring Heir on bald places, preventing
the falling off after fevers, sea bathing, and from other causes, as
well as preserving the colour and curl, infallibly renders it desir-
able to the fashionable world. One trial will establish its supe-
riority over oils, or any other preparation ever made use of for
the Hair.
