MECHI'S PREPARATIONS FOR'
NEW YEAR'S PRESENTS.
Sensible that the season has arrived when love and friendship
give their tangible testimonials, MECHI has taken care to provide
an abendance of objects for tasteful selection.
None need deny themselves the luxury of giving, for the most in-
expensive as well as the most costly articles are to be found at his
Repository of Utilities and Elegances,
4, LEA.DENHALL-STREET, near the India House.
England has always been renowned for its hearty Christmas libe-
rality, while " Le jour de l'an" of our lively neighbours the French is
equally consecrated the gifts of affection. MECHI invites a visit
from the natives of all countries to his emporium, where they may
be sure of putting their kind intentions into an acceptable shape.
In his Eiegsnt Show-Rooms are displayed to the greatest ad-
vantige,. a superb stock of Ladies' and Gentlemen's dressing-
cases, work-boxes, tea-trays, work-tables, chess-tables, tea-caddies,
card-cases, &c. Those who desira to make really useful pre-
sents will find in the general department the best table cutlery, scis-
sors, thimbles, penknives, writing-desks, ivory and other hair-
brushes and combs, and a variety of goods adapted to every
exigency. Also bagatelle-tables, affording a charming amusement
on a wintry or wet day.
4, Leadenhall-street.

The rates hare selected are those adopted by the English and
Cambrian 4, Office, and advertised in its distinctive features as low
rates of premium, and professedly for the lower and midd:ing classes.
Most offices, particularly the older ones, such as the Scottish
7ittitable and the Globe, these rates would be much higher. In the
ruler of 101. 75. 6d., with 10 shillings per cent. entrance fee, would

Of inability or omission to pay, his policy remains still his property,

amount
of his policy he can do so at pleasure. He can, at any time,
Y giving a fortnight's notice, withdraw any part from 1/ up to the
hole amount of his previous payments and with interest. After he
24 withdrawn part one year he can, by a single payment, three
.7ears, or any time afterwards. raise his policy to a greater or even
its former amount ; and by this system he can at all times regulate
his
annual savings by his annual expenditure, with the facility in the
bargain of having a fund to fly to in case of necessity, the same as
n a bank, with this palpable advantage, however, that he gets inte-
rest fur his money, and in case of death his family receive more than
the amount of his savings. In ordinary Life Offices he can do no
such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
"c ceases to pay his current premiums, and, instead of having any
'kind to fly to for aid, all his hard-earned savings become forfeited to
the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his
,tore fortunate co-assurers.
Such a system is too equitable and too
strikingstn to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system ace which can be
,universally recognized and adopted when the.principles are impar-
tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It
confers greater advantages than a b Ink because it allows a fair rate
Of interest in case of withdrawal. and gives twice the amount in the
hands of the Company to the representatives of the Depositor in
case of death, thus combining the
ADVANTAGES OF A BANK WITTI THE BENEFITS OF
AN ASSURANCE COMPANY.
In case of endowment assurances the advantages of the DEPOS*
system are still more striking.

burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful
consequences resulting from irregularities and excesses, which
have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
uckal, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, ally
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. The treatment
adopted is founded on experience gained in the most celebrated
schools of medicine both in this country and in continental Europe.
he results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the Personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
egaily qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
Givided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
o the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
Intimate cure are described in detail. The professional reputation
of Dr. La'Mert, who has taken the most distinguished medical
and academic honours at home and abroad, is in itself a sufficient
guarantee that those who may place themselves under his care
rin, in instance, meet with that delicate
he consideration and
nviolableevery secrecy which are so requisite in e treatment of these
cares.
