This Company is established for the purpose of assisting in
the development of the resources of the colony of Natal and
the British possessions adjacent, by affording a safe medium
for the investment of capital in mortgage and other securi-
ties; the rapidly augmenting prosperity of the colony and
the increasing value of land creating a constant demand for
advances, which this Company pi °poses to supply.
The business of the Company will comprise:-
1. The lending and investment in the colony, at colonial
interest, of money obtained upon debentures or deposits in
this country.
2. The acquisition, development, and re-sa'e of lands, as
favourable opportunities offer, and affording assistance to
owners or occupiers for substantial improvements.
3. The promotion of pubic works, and conducting financial
operations generally.
4. The transaction of all kinds of agency business, and tll6
m nagement of estv es for absentees and others.
It I, nut, ptupubett to cull up Trinrp than 410 Fel share; the
profits of the Company will be mainly derived from the use of
capital obtained in this country by the issue of debentu es.
The rate of interest in the colony ranges from 10 to 12 per
cent., leaving a large margin of profit on the capital em-
ployed, equivalent cf itself to a good dividend on the paid-up
capital; independent of which, however, advances will be
made on onditions which will secure other advantages to the
Company.
As a Trust Company there is a wide field for the Com-
pany's operations, and the following statement of the sell-
ing prices of Shares in existing Companies in Natal or the

The Directors are satisfied that from the above sources a
large return on the paid-up capital of the Company is to be

matiim, Sciatica, Lumbago, and Neuralgia. This invaluable
Medicine is so pre-eminently efficacious as to admit of no
parallel. Instance; have been known, in which sufferers have
been confined to their apartments, hand and foot, writhing
under the most intense agony, whose sufferings, to the asto-
nishment of their friends, have been wholly removed in less
than 24hours after taking the above medicine, and theme elves
rendered able to resume their avocations. Indeed, the effect
has been such, and brought about in so harmless and speedy
a manner, that the proprietor, with the utmost confidence,
challenges the medical world to produce a medicine equal to
it. To the constitution it is harmless ; to the fluids of the
human frame It adds an agreeable impetus ; to the system
generally it is invigorating to a degree unparalleled ; and
male or ternale may take it to equal advantage. A dose of
the above medicine taken about once a month operates most
effectually in preventing a return of the complaint. Price
