MEDICAL. INVALID, and GENERAL LIFE
OFFICE, 25, PALL-MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU-
i3TUEET, DUBLIN.-
Subscribed Capital, 500,0001.
This office was e stablished in 1841, and possesses tables formed on
k scientific basis for the assurance of diseased lives.
~The urgent nece,ssity for such an institution may be estimated by
rfact that twcp-thirds of the population are not assurable as
healthy lives, and. that about one in five of the applicants to other
Offices is declined on examination.
_ And that during the period of five years, as shown at the Annual
yeneral Meeting of Proprietors in November last, upwards of 2,000
proposals had been. made to the Society, covering Assurances to
above One Million.
It is the only Company possessing tabulated rates of premium for
disease deduced Eton t extensive data.
Increased annuities are granted en Unsound Lives.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates, are
assured with as mui la facility and at lower rates than at most other
°faces; and a capital of Half-a-Million sterling fully sabseribei
affords a complete tra.-tarantee for the fulfilment of the Company's
engagements.
