The Corporation has effected Life Assurances for a period of more
than
123 years, its first policy having been issued on:the 7th of
June, 1721.
,The extent of its business and connexions, the security afforded
by its large capital, its long standing, its advantages to Assurors,:and
the liberality of its transactions, strongly recommend it to the public.
Two-thirds of the gross profits are awarded to the assured, and
the expenses of managing the Life Department are not, as is usual,
taken from the premium fund, but are defrayed by the Corporation
out of their one-third share of the profits, thus giving to the As-
sured all the advantages of Mutual Assurance, without liability
of partnership, and the security of an ancient and opulent Cor-
poration.
Its tables have been formed on the lowest scale, to meat the varied
'views of Assurers, by affor ling to them tile option of the following
several advantages I—Firstly, of participating ill the profits of the
Corporation by abatements from annual preraisms ; or, secondrr, by
making additions to the sums assured by way of bonus payable at
death; or, tWrdly, by a money payment at the division of profits in
every fifth veer, whilst from those who desire to Hull their assu-
aness to a given sum without participation in profits, the lowest
Possible rate of premium is required, as will be evinced by tables ex-
P:eisly prepared for the Corporation, which may be had on applica-
Nri at their offices, and which have been constructed for meeting
the various wants of Assurers, and every risk to which protection
by assurance can be extended.
The bonuses made to Assurers have at some of the period) of di-
vision been upwards of 50 per cent., and for three of the lowest
Years the average bonus has been equal to from 24{, to 23 per cent.,
or from 3 to 3Y, per cent. per annum on the sum assured, varying
Wording to the age of the life.

The Directors of the Legal and Commercial Fire Assurance Society
"eg leave to call the attention of the public, and of Warehousemen
and others occupying large premises in particular, to circulars re-
cently issued by the combined Assurance Companies, announcing
their intention to reduce the rates of Insurance hitherto charged on
Warehouses and other large buildings.
The Directors of the Legal and Commercial Assurance Society
Cannot forbear congratulating the public on this early result of their
operations, for the course now adopted by the combined offices is to
be mainly attributed to the success of the Legal and Commercial
Society founded en the principle of charging fair rates only, and,
therefore, honoured with a larger degree of support by the public
than they could have possibly calculated upon.
The reductions thus enforced from the combined offices will, of
course, have tho effect of approximating their rates to those charged
by this office, and conclusively establish the soundness of the princi-
ples, and the fairness of tho practice, adopted by the Legal and Com-
mercial Assurance Society from its commencement.
The Directors of the Legal and Commercial Firs Assurance So-
ciety, in thus announ 'Mg to the public this successful result of their
operations, trust to the continuance of that large patronage which
they have hitherto received, and which will form the only security
to the public against a renewed attempt, on the part of the combina-
tion, again to raise unduly the rates charged upon important classes
of risks

liarriage requires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order
that It may be really the cause of mutual happiness. Could the
tell, which covers the origin of domestic wretchedness, be raised,
and its true source' In every instance disclosed, in how malty could
It be traced to physical disqualifications and their attendant disap-
pointments. Excesses are always injurious ; the gift, which when
used in moderation is fraught with advantage, hecomes, when
abused, the prolific source of mischief and of greater or less injury
A the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, on
the nature and consequence of which this Treatise professes to dilate,
,are Productive of greater severity of misery to the kurnal frame,

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
the relative conditions in health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attentien and study, for what subject can

Z,f-I of the physical capabilities of which every man should

victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
41: early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering
Prone their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a fear of ap-
to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that those complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking
_or assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
fors that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
d lsease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, Inva-
riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
medical man who can show by hie possession of the requisite legal
qualifications that he is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes-
sional pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended. Dr.
