This Office is the oldest—has all along been, and still continues the
most successful is Scotland; the amount of Assurances pas ed dur-
ing the last twelve years having been upwards of Half a Million

this Society has been ill a great measure, if not entirely, owing to the
equity of the principles on which it is founded. and to the manner in
which its affairs have been uniformly conducted. The practical
operation of these principles may be judged of from the fact, that the
Representatives of original Members—that is those Assurt d from
1815 to 1819—and whose Policies may become claims in 1852, will,
after payment of the Premium applicable to that year, receive 2,0621.

THE MOST DURABLE OUT-DOOR PAINT EVER INVENTED
CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
PAINT, specially patronised by the British and other Go-
vernments, the lion. East India Company, the Principal Dock Com-
panies, and other public bodies, &c., fs particularly recommended to
the Nobility, Gentry, Agricuitarists, Manufacturers, West India Pro-
prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of
more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre-
servative. It is extensivuiy used for the protection of wooden houses,
farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories,
park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, copper, zinc, lead, brick,
stone, old compo, and stucco fronts, and tiles to represent slating.
The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every ether paint for out-
door purposes may be easily inferred from the simple fact, that its
ase has been always most strenuously opposed by colour manufac-
turers, painter% oil and colourmen; and others interested in the sale
of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being
able to ay it on.

- RATOR. ‘--flq

If you are in want of that beautiful adornment of the human
figure, a natural supply of human hair, obtain through the post, or
of any wholesale or retail chemist or druggist, or perfumer, an II
bottle of Grimstone's Aromatic Regenerator. This is an essential
spirit, drawn from aromatic herbs and flowers (grown at his Rer-
bary, Highgate), which ha been long known to the nobility and
gentry, by whom it is h:ghlfappreclated for Its manifold virtues, too
numerous to be set forth in an advertisement, but may be read inhis
pamphlet, in which the bottles are enclosed.
Each pamphlet has the signature of William Grimstone, Merchant,
Rerbary, Ilighwate, 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, 1446.
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•oflice order for 4s. 6d., 7.. Bd., or lie., which in-
cludes the postage with the case.
The Ils. 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 for 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 givemplace to a straightforward,
clear-sigh -0 people (the climate is the same) ? tell you the cause
—the univenal use of Grimstone's Eye Snuff! and because it cured
Ophthalmia, Gutta Serena, Cater -et, Nervous Headach, and Deaf-
ness, the Lords of the Treasury directed it to be denominated a medi-
cine, and to he stamped. Although this advanced its character, 67
cases of cure being proved by the informers, still it was an 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 Grimstone, bearing date 18th February, 1525. This was
on account cf 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.

lowing Testimonial with regard to the extraordinary efficacy of your
