THE DEPOSIT and GENERAL LIFE
ASSURANCE COMPANY.

Chief Office, 22, Moorgate-street, London.
The new and peculiar feature of this Company is the Deposit Sys-
tem of Assurance, combining the advantages of a Savings' Bank
With a Life Assurance Company. By this plan a person may invest
any sum, from 11. upwards, and, without any further payment, at
once secure a Policy for a certain amount commensurate with the
age
of the party and the amount deposited. He may also increase
Payment, and thereby increase his assurance, decrease it by with-
drawing iy _
sum at any time, or he may draw eut all he has paid in.
„ For example :—A person, aged Twenty-five, depositing 101. with
the Company, will at once secure a Policy for 261. 12s. 3d.' payable
at death, whenever it should happen, with full power to increase,
(11crease, or draw out the 101. he has deposited. The humblest indi-
2clual may, therefore, reap many of the advantages of ordinary Life
Assurance, and, at the same time, possess all the facilities of a bank.

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-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
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.
The results of the knowledge thus acquired are here condensed under
the personal supervision of Dr. La'Mert, himself one of the few
legally qualified physicians who have devoted their whole and un-
divided studies to this important branch of medical science. In short,
every peculiarity relating to the treatment of the diseases incidental
to the generative system, and the means of immediate relief and
ultimate 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
will, in every instance, meet with that delicate consideration and
inviolable secrecy which are so requisite in the treatment of these
eases.
