CLERICAL, MEDICAL, AND GENERAL
LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY.
Notice is hereby given, that the usual DIVIDEND of 5 per Cent.
(less income-tax) on the paid-up Capital of the Shareholders will be
payable at the office, on and after FRIDAY, the 20th of August inst.
The small share of Profit divisible in fatnre among the Share-
holders being now provided for, without iotrenching on the amount
made by the regular business, the ASSURED will hereafter derive
all the benefits obtainable from a Mutual Office, while, at the same
time, they will be completely free from liability, secured by an ample
proprietary Capital—and the advantages of both systems will thus
be combined.
The assured will in future participate in the Profits in propor-
tion to the number and amount of the premiums paid between every
division, so that if only one year's premium be received prior to
closing the books, it will obtain its due share.

—At the FIFTH DIVISION of PROFITS declared in January
last, the sum of 131,1251. was added to Policies then entitled, which
oam produced a BONUS varying with the different ages, from 24%
to 55 per cent. on the Premiums paid, during the preceding five
years; or from 51. to 121. 10s. per cent. on the sum assured.
The next and future Bonuses may be received in cash, or applied
at the option of the Assured in any other way.
Credit will be given for half of the sinful Premiums on policies
for the whole of Life, for five years, at interest, to be paid off at the
expiration of that time, or earlier, or remain as a permanent charge
upon the Policy.

INVALID LIVES assured at rates proportioned to the increased
risk.

Medical referees paid by the Society in all cases.
Claims paid in THIRTY DAYS after proof of death.
A copy of the last Report. 'containing full particulars, with the
New Prospectus, can now be obtained of any of the Society's Agents,
or by addressing a line to
