DESTRUCTIVE FIRE at HARPENDEN.
_ Harpenden, June lA, 1854..

" Gentlemen,—l have great pleasure in adding my testimony to
the value of your Fireproof Na es.

Last Monday night my house, warehouse, and premises were
Unfortunately burned down; the tire raged very fearfallq for about
two hours, and, owing to the great scarcity o 1 water. the v.holu of
re y premises and stock were consumed. . . .

" The safe I purchased of you had a most severe test, in conso
queue° of a barrel of brimstone standing close to it andanelting with
the heat of the fire, the burning lava running all over and under the
sane, which great), added to the intensity of the heat; it remained
In that position about four hours, and when with great difficulty it
was got out of the fire and opened, I found my books and papers all
uninjured. _ _ _

" You are At liberty to make what use you please of this informa-
tioa.

."
I am, gentlemen, yours respectfully.

WM. WALKER.
" Messrs. Thos. Milner and Son, 47a, Moorgate-street, London."
"Agricultural Laboratory, Harpenden, July 6, 1854.
"Gentlemen,—l wn' present at the late fire which destroyed the
premises of Mr. Walker. Harpenden, and was much surprised at the
great amount of heat your sate reslstcd, and still more surprised
(when it was made known to me that a barrel of sulphur stood near
it) that it was not enti ely destroyed.
" Being anxious to see if It had been attracted by the sulphur, I
scraped some of the blistered iron from the inside and outside of the
safe, and, from analysis, find much sulphuret, so that it must have
been greatly acted upon by the sulphur, yet the books and papers
were perfectly uninjured.
" I must.in justice say that your safes are invaluable, and very
necessary-for every one who has books sad accounts of any value.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours very faithfully,

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which have prouuced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at ;al stages of Life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. It., perusal is
particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to which every human being is
sutitied.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men ehould know, that there are
principles of personal mana,,rement which cannot be violated without
incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed
the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties
may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its con,equences may be avoided, and above all,
that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional
derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
The Author has for a series of years been engaged in an extensive
Practice in the treatment of these delicate complaints, which have
unfortunately been tea generally confided to the care of ignorant
Insntries, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
faith in their pretensions.

LIFE ASSURANCE.
MOST IMPORTANT BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED ET

THE UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE
ASSOClATlON.—Established 1849.

Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly pr, miums
and upwards, can receive back their money, less the premium for
the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of
the policy.
EXAMPLE.

A B, aged 35, pays 14/. 3s 9c1.11:;;;r for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven years wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time
have paid 99/. 63. 3d., and fir the surrender of the Policy he would
in other offices get a very little, if anything, and the premiums
would consequently be lost.
The Directors of the Universal Provident, feeling this to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adoption of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the fquitable principle of deducting the pre-
mium for the time the risk has been incurred from the premiums
pall, and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
tn,ms,lves without any risk. In the example above the insurance
for 5001. for the time would have been 91. 9s 70. per annum, or 661.
7s. Id.; this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of thi, principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies are taken out to cover Loans. .
