The POLICIES arc INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the 514th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from dis
putlng a Policy upon any ground whatever.
The Rates of Premium are calculated upon Carlisle mortality, and
are as low as a due regard to complete security will justify.
HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the
premiums, with interest of the retained halves, is required to be paid
for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the
convenience of the assured. or allowed to continue, to form
a deduction from the claim on the Policy ; and as the As-
surance may be relinquished at any time without payment
of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to
assure for tile first five years at little more than half the trual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security
Of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the
assured life should go beyond the prescribed limits.
Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a
specified age, or at their death, whichever shall first occur.
PARTNER-HIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby a joint assurance
effected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in-
Vested. On the death of either, the survivor is benefited by retain-
ing the whole capital, and the representatives of the deceased obtain
their share without having to wait until it can be recovered,from
outstanding debts.
There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the
equator.
No Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge
made for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp.
Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of
the assured life.
The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons,
approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in
Connexion with this Company.

P.TEBROWS MUSTACHIOS,
and WHISKERS produced in a
few weeks, and Baldness removed and pr vented, by the use of
BRIMSTONE'S AROMATIC REGENE-
RATOR.
If You are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain throutt the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer. an lls.
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Her-
bary, nighgath), which has been long known to the nobility and
sentry, by whom it is highly appreciated for its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, bat may be read in his
pamphlet,, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Eaeh pamphlet has the signature of William Orimstone, Merchant,
llerbary,
Highgate, and will be found at page 11, un,er the copy of
Mrs. Weekly's Letter to the Editor of the " Times" newspaper, 7th
of August, 1846.
This pamphlet is forwarded through the post, on receiving two
Postage stamps.
The Aromatic Regenerator can be forwarded through the post on
receiving a post-office order for 4s. 6d., 7s. Bd., or Us., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The I Is. size contains four of the 4s.
A few of its many virtues, as thousands can prove, are published
In the pamphlet enclosed with each bottle.

Reader, reflect far a few minutes, and if you are 40 years of age,
You will remember the thousands of blind you meet with In your
Walks, others with various coloured eye-shades ; indeed, such was
the demand for eye-shades, that it was a business. What has re-
moved those sightless beings, and given place to a straightforward,
clear-sighted people (the climate is the same) ? I'll tell you the cause
—the universal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because It cured
Ophthalmia, Clutta Serena, Cater ,ct, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to be stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was au act of
oppression ; as in 1825 the Solicitor of Stamps, Godfrey Sykes, Esq.,
altered the label, and sanctioned its sale under order of the Lords of
the Treasury; the letter of protection, signed by Herries, Fsq., to
Mr. William Griinstone, bearing date 18th February, I 525. Tills was
on account of its curative qualities, being sold at that time in canis-
ters, within the reach of every poor family, But under this order of
Government it is obliged to be stamped.
GRIMSTONE'S MEDICATED EYE SNUFF, sold in canisters,

Pamphlets sold at Id. each. If through the post, Is. Bd., 3s. 6c1., and

G. H. BOUTELL, Professor of Galvanism."

London, at which establishment he continues to manufacture his
far-famed HERB TOBACCO, so much esteemed in all foreign parts.

the author of the " Pleasures of Home :"
" Springfiell Cottage, Honiton, Devon, 15th August, 1848.
" Sir,—l cannot deny myself the pleasure of stating how highly I
esteem
your Herb Tobacco. I have now found in it a substitute for
the choice leaf, hitherto obtained by me from a friend in Constantl-
11.°Ple. lam sure that lovers of mild, fragrant Tobacco would find
Yours a great and acceptable gift, at a very reasonable price.
" I am your obedient servant,
" STUART FARQUHARSON, D.C.L.

orntnents, the Hon. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and other public bodies, &c., is particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
retors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
ore than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. It is extensively used for the protection of wooden houses,

soPeriority of the Anti-Corrosion very ether paint for o
purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its
se lies been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
„"frere, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale
common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being
able to ay it on.
