This Society is founded on the principal of Mutual
Guarantee. The rates of premium are considerably below
those of most other offices, besides which the members enjoy
the benefit of periodical additions to the sums insured, which
have already amounted to 445,7891. ; and from a recent valua-
tion of the Society's liabilities, it has been found, that since
the year 1836 profits have accrued at the rate of 25,0001. per
Annum, thereby affording the means for an early further addi-
tion to the policies of the insured, and establishing the fact,
that the present state of the Society is that of a sound and
prosperous concern.
In the course of the present year 419 new policies have been
issued, a ratio of new business equal to that of most Life Offices.
Agents are established in all the principal towns of the

This extraordinary cure is attested by Mr. James Wilcockson ,
Foreign Snuff and Cigar Merchant, Nottingham.
o Mr. W. Grimstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
I cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
behove I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may snake what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
oekson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so nell
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
28th Aug. 1841. ANNIS ZENIA MASSENIA.
P. S.—Sir,—l should not do you justice without stating my
relief was almost instantaneous. My eyes became clear and
freed from humour, and by persevering in its use very fre-
quently I am enabled to read small print without the aid of
Glasses, and continue to enjoy God's greatest blessing—Sight !
free from pain. I have reason to be grateful, and do recom-
mend your Eye Snuff to all I know.
