NOTICE TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY OF LONDON.
UNITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
No. 8, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
eolnpany of London, is particularly called to the Half-Credit scales
C)f. Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
elared at the next Investigation of the Equitable Assurance Company's
'ars, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual payment
of one half the rates generally charged by other cenipauies. In the
*Vent of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduction of the
*tiler half of the rates. Should the life insured survive the decla-
ration the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
14capany will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
b 0 due thereon ; or, in the event of the party being at that time
a! bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of
the age as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with
l'as Company, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division

THE PRIZE CATTLE SHOW
The Christmas Cattle Show, in Portman-square,
Draws many thousands with its prizes rare ;
:for need we wonder much, for such a sight
Is calculated to afford delight.
'Tie most amusing to behold a prize,
Rolling in fatness—twice its usual size.
The greedy pigs, reclining half asleep,
With here and there a group of waddling sheep.
And the huge lazy oxen calmly snoozing,
Ire objects which are certainly amusing.
But there's an exhibition, you must know,
More pleasing than the Christmas Cattle Show ;
110SES and SON'S display of prize attire,
Is something which the public all admire.
The show at MOSES' Mart does not appear
At Christmas time alone, but all the year.
Their celebrated Show-rooms never lack
Prize Coats and Waistcoats to adorn the back,
Prize Over Coats and Trousers, too, are there,
More prized than any prize in Portman-square.
MOSES and SON beg, therefore, to advise,
An early application for a prize.
Let all who prize their health adopt the plan,
Of well preparing for the outward man ;
And those wile prize appearance we apprize,
Of what our Prize Establishment supplies.
MOSES and SON'S prize garments ali admire,
And own them to be prizeable attire ;
The least dissatisfaction there is not,
But all who purchase dress, no matter what,
Exclaim, delighted, " What a prize I've get I"

m One half the world are desolately single, and the other
supposing them married, questionably contented. Diffidence, or a
sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em-
litter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea
of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret un-
comprosing hurry ; but the truth lice deeper. Physical incapacity,
and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestie happiness
and social context. The dowry should not be the only marriage set-
tlement. Honour and justice demand that health should form an item
in the compact; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes or
neglect wound more sorely than poverty or misfortune. Reader, if

to the constitutional and vital powers. The particular excesses, Qs
(150 mature and consequence of whisk this Treatise professes to tillite
are productive of greater severity of misery to the human frafae,
than any other to which it is subject.
This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy sad Physiology of the Reproductive Organs, and of
their relative conditions la health and disease. It deservedly
requires the closest attention and study, for what subject can
be of mere importance than the preservation of the health,
and of the physical capabilities of which every man should
be possessed. It nafortuxately happens that the unhappy
victim et excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired
in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while guttering
from their invariable consequences, unwisely entertains a tear of ap-
plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread so
frequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are
beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him aad prevent his seeldng
for assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he
forgets that accurate discrimination in ascertaining the causes of
disease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, lava-
riatly characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the
