but to equal in amount the entire sum of all the advantages
heretofore only obtained by the middle and industrious classes
by separate investments in Savings' Banks, Benefit Societies,
and Loan Banks.
1. A small yearly or weekly contribution will secure the
most ample return for after life; thus-21. 12s. per annum (Is.
a week) at 20 will at 65 give the policy holder the choice of an
annuity for life of 471. I 6s. 6d.: 394/. I Is. in cash; or policy
without further contributions of 4661. at death.
2. Two-thirds at any time lent on deposit of policy, being a
fund always available during sickness or want of employment.
3. Two-thirds of all payments returned to representatives in
case of premature death.

BATEMAN'S CONCENTRATED PRE-
PARATION OF RIO NEGRO SARSAPA-
RILLA is one of the most powerful medicinal agents for renovating
the Constitution which has ever been introduced to the Public.
It sweetens the blood, corrects a bad habit of body, removes pimples
and blotches, and is an infallible remedy for Scrofula, Scurvy,
Erysipelas, Secondary Symptoms, and all tnose disorders originating
in impurities of the blood, whether hereditary or otherwise, and
particularly those arising from the long-continued use of mercury.
This Preparation, which is the result of many years' laborious
research and experiment, is thus noticed by Dr. HANCOCK, in
his Philosophical Papers, read before the " Medico-Botanical So-
ciety :" --
" It is a fact yet unheeded or unknown in Europe, that this species
of Sarsa, the Rio Negro, does manifest a peculiar power in healing
ulcers in all parts of the body, and removing a multitude of chronical
affections. It is scarcely less remarkable for its power in improving
the condition and habit of body, and the'efore it is not Without
reason esteemed a great restorative; but the narrow views of the
Faculty have tended to restrict its use to syphilitic affections, and
there appears to be no comprehension of its general utility in alter-
ing the condition of the blood and amending the hahit of body, as it
does most manifestly in scrofulous, consumptive,and dropsical habits,
and cachexies—foul or perverted states of the humours, &c."
