DISEASED AND HEALTHY LIVES ASSURED.
MEDICAL, 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 pe iod 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 premiam tbr
disease deduced from extensive data.
Increased annuities are granted on Unsound Lives.

HEALTHY LIVES, both at Home and in Foreign Clima'es, are
tsi.ured with as much facility and at lower rates than at most other
offices; and a capital of Half-a-Million sterlirg fully subscribei
affords a complete gu .rantee for the fulfilment of the Company'.
engagements.

Capital, 500,0007., 111.25,000 Shares of 20/. each. Deposit, 2s. per
share, being the highest amount allowed by Act of Parliament
until complete registration, when a call of It. per share will be

made.

The principal objects of this company are to surely a perfectly
pure and genuine malt liquor to the public, combined with such
moderate charges as must ensure a most exteusive and profitable
business.

Our empire in India offers inducements of no ordinary character
for the establishment of an immense business of a highly lucrative
nature, independently of its most probable permanency and com-
parative freedom from risk.
In South America, the West Indies, and several parts of the Eu-
ropean continent also, the malt liquors of this country are beginning
to be appreciated and sought after, and a profitable and extensive
trade may be confidently anticipated in those parts.
Arrangements are in progress, which, when completed, will ensure
an extensive and highly lucrative trade to the East and West Indies
and to South America, thereby securing at once a handsome per
centage to the shareholders. Arrangements are also in progress
which will secure an extensive home trade.
It is certain there is sot in the market at the present time, nor
has there been for many years past, any investment likely to pro-
duce such beneficial results to those concerned in it as the present,
as, after a most careful and deliberate estimate, by talented and
competent persons, of all the outgoings, &c., it is proved to demon-
stration that the net annual dividend will not be less than 40 per
cent. on the capital.
Under these circumstances the promoters of this undertaking con-
fidently lay their plans before the public, and will be most happy to
give every information in their power, and, as soon as the Commit-
tee of Directors is formed, more detailed particulars will be pub-
lished. In the meantime all applications for shares or inquiries may
be made to Meesrs. Chauntler and Westwood, 8, Gray's Inn-square ;
but no application., for shares will be attended to unless accompanied
by meet respectable references.
