LIFE ASSURANCE.
THOS? IMPORTANT, BENEFIT EVER YET OFFERED BY
Tire, UNIVERSAL PROVIDENT LIFE
ASSOCIA ['lON.—Established 1849.
Persons insured for Life, who have paid three yearly promiums
!,1,1 upwards, can receive baett their money, less the premium for
the risk incurred during the time they were insured on surrender of
the policy

EXAMPLE.
B, aged 35, pays 141. 3s 9d. a-year for Life for 5001, and at the
end of seven yews wishes to drop his Policy—he will at this time
have paid 991. Gs. 3d., and f,r 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, teeling tills to be a great
hardship and a positive obstacle to the adop, ion of Life Assurance by
all classes, have adopted the c quitable principle ol deducting the pre-
',limn for the time the risk has been incurred front the premiums
pant,
and returning the balance to the parties, thus making a profit
rieMselves without any risk. In the example above the Insuraoce
for 5001. for the time would have been 91. 9s 7d. per annum, or 6tl.
7B- Id. ; this deducted from 991. 6s. 3d. leaves 321. 19s. 2d. to be
returned. The advantage of this. principle is peculiarly applicable
when Policies are taken out to cover Loans-
Diseased lives and lives rejected by other offices taken.

NERVOUS DEBILITY;
Its Causes, Symptoms, and Cure.—An Essay on Sper-
m atorrbma, with Practical Observations on a safer and more
successful mode of treatment of the diseases of the Generative
System, obtained by the use of the Microscope in detecting and
distinguif.hing, by urinary examination, the real r,ause and effect of
avert' variety of complaint, whether arising from solitary habits,
. excesses, accident, or climate, followed by practical remarks, founded
on twenty years' experience in the treatment of Impuissance,
Nervous Debility, Local Weakness, Spermatorrhma, &c. To which
are added, Commentaries on the Physiology of Marriage, with pre-
cautionary hints on the evils emanating from empirical practice,
and on the dangerous remedies advocated by various writers on
these important disorders.
By SAMUEL LA'MERT, M.D.
37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON,
Doctor of Medicine, Matriculated Member of the University of Edin-
burgh, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society,
Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, &c., &e.
The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, 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. Its 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
entitled.
It is absolutely necessary thatall men should know, that there are
Principles of personal management 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, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided, and above all,
, that there is scaraely 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 too generally confided to the care of ignorant
empirics, who inflict great injury on those who are induced to place
aith in their pretensions.
NERVOUS DEBILITY may be had, price 2s, of Messrs. Piper,
Brothers, and Co., 23, Paternoster-row; II annay, 63, Oxford-street ;
