The POLICIES are INDEFEASIBLE and INDISPUTABLE,
the Company being prohibited, by the 54th clause of their Deed of
Constitution, which is duly registered in terms of the Act, from ells=
puting 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
tor 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 the first five years at little more than half the usual rate,
and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice.
WHOLE WORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby toe 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.
PARTNERSHIP POL [CIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance
ffected 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.
Ne 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.

approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance

FINANCIAL REFORM
REDUCTION OF EXPENDITURE.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen thAt we do
not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at Vie expense of an-
other ; but in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling
value and universal import as must prove, in the fullest sense of the
term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, to reduce, not
the Income, but the expenditure, of every individual. Ilow this may
be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated
business system, will readily show.
POSSESSING L lIIGE ESTABLISHMENTS

in most of the principal towns in Great Britain, our concentrated
purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are
enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash,
at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de-
signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced
workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-tentage upon
original cost, and the price Is marked on every garment, in plain
ft ;ures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together
with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not
approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patrons such as
have been seldom, if ever, elsewlicro presented, enabling them to
effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item
" Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief
price list will testify to some extent :

jiLAIR'S GOUT and RHEUMATIC PILLS.
Copy of a letter from Mr. J. J. Wilson, Chemist, Moak Bar;

York,

" To Mr. Thomas Prout,

" 14th June, 1847.
" SIR,--iiaving suffered most dreadfully for the last six years from
repeated attacks of the gout, and receiving no benefit from the best
medical advice I could obtain, I was induced about six weeks ago to
try a box of Blair's Gout and Rheumatic rills. 'When I commenced
taking them, which was in the afternoon, my feet and elbows were
very much swollen and inflamed : I was suffering the most intense
agony. I had that night sound and refreshing sleep, and awoke in
the morning corm gr ati vely free from pain; and before I had finished
the box, I never was better in my life : they have not only entirely
removed the gout, but have also very much improved my general
health. I have since recommended them to four individuals, who
have suffered much from gout and rheumatism ; and they all speak
highly of the benefit they have received from them. If you think
my case worthy of insertion among the many cures effec:ed by your
wonderful medicine, 3 ou arc at perfect liberty to publish it.
" I am, Sir, yours respectfully,
" J. J WILSON."
The above testimonial exhibits the never-failing. effects of this
valuable medicine, which affords to the afflicted with gout, rheuma-
tism, lumbago, sciatica, and all analogous complaints, speedy and
certain relief.
They require neither confinement nor attention of any kind, and
invariably prevent the disease attacking the stomach, brain, or other
vital part.

ment by all respectable Medicine Veadors throughout the United
Kingdom. Price 2s. 9d. per box.

TO TOE LADIES.
This lady had the following letter inserted in the "Times" news.
paper on Aug. 7, 1i;46. Reader, remember, this letter was put int
the paper by the lady IR.rself, as a testimony to inc.
" Mrs. Weckley, of No. 3. Swan-street, Borough, takes this oppor-
Malty of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High-
gate ler the e2lcacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having com-
pletely restored the hair on her head, after using it about four months,
and the whole of her hair is mulch stronger and more luxuriant than
lever was bef,4re the baldness appeared.

..-
" Mrs. Weekiey inserts this testimony te7the virtues of Mr. G.';
Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase
an I Is. bottle if they were as certain of 10 virtues as she is, froin ex-
perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund-
ance, but as a cure of nervous headache ; as a toilet perfume iti far
beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure in answering any
lady of respectability to the above fact:.-3, Swan-street, Itcyrough."
In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ale w
drops en the crown of the bead occasionally, every week, will pre-
vent the hair from coming away with the comb, mute it strong, and
prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A
few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the
hair brilliancy, causing it to curl.

The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the
meet aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence ; its refreshing
odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion
to the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops
on the crown of the head; if very bad, repeat it every quarter of an
hour. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces
hair en children's heads in a few appplicatione. If used on infants'
heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre-
vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—dee
