DISEASED AND HEALTHY LIVES ASSURED.
iIkiEDICAL, INVALID, and GENERAL LIFE
OFFICE, 25, PALL-MALL, LONDON, and 22, NASSAU-
STREET, DUBLIN.
Subscribed Capital, 500,0001.
This office was established In 1841, and possesses tables formed on
a scientific basis for the assurance of diseased lives.
The urgent necessity for such an institution may be estimated by
the fact that two-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
General 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 from extensive data. _ _

Increased annuities are granted en Unsound Lives.
HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Climates, are
Assured with as much facility and at lower rates than at most other
offices; and a capital of Half-a-Million sterling fully subscribed
affords a complete guarantee for the fulfilment of the Company's
engagements

proceeding to or resident in India, or other parts of the world.
Indian rates of premium much lower than in any existing Corn-
Assurances affected daily, on application at the Office.
A half-premium (not half credit) table for select lives, whereby
half the amount of premium only is required to be paid during the
first seven years. The unpaid half-premiums do not constitute a debt,
therefore no interest can be charged, or any reduction made, when
the policy becomes a claim.

DECORATIONS IN WOOD.—The unrivalled
perfection at length attained by the patent process of carving
enables its proprietors to offer to the public, at an extremely reduced
price, every possible variety of carved wood for external and internal
enrichment, thus substituting the genuine material for those numer-
ous imitations which have invariably been found fragile or unsatis-
factory. Moulding and carvings of all kinds are thus supplied,
adapted for church or library fittings, altar ch-drs, picture frames,
chimney pieces, and every description of Gothic or ElizabetEian
furniture. Specimens may be seen and drawings obtained at the
Patent Wood Carving Offices, 444, West Strand ; or at the Works,

Now these teas are all good of their several kinds, some of them
exceedingly fine, and of a quality very rarely to be met with. At
ens penny per pound profit they will be supplied to the trade and all
large consumers, in lots and quantities to suit the most extensive de-
mands. As will be noticed by the above list, so it is a well-known
fact, that the original cost of finest Congou tea is over 39 taels, or
2s. 2d. per pound, whfch, with duty added, makes 4s. 414 d. per
pound. We have, ever since we began selling teas at Number One,
sold this description at 4s. f,a, per pound. Hundreds and thousands
of people have tried it, and can vouch for its strength and richness
of flavour. Nobody q.-fer finds fault with it, and it pleases every-
body, because it is .oath good and cheap. When Government falls
the duty, we ',w fall the price of tea in the same ratio, at Number
One, and putilish it to the world. All purchasers will be allowed one
pound on e,very 30 Pounds as overweight.

QPENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promutes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price as. 6d., 65., and 106
per bottle.
