The advantages offered to the publie by the above Offices
are suelvas result from a course of uninterrupted prosperity,
the fruits of a prudent and economical management for a pe-
riod of thirty-five years.
At the present the so many establishments exist, vieing
with each other in the profession of benefits to the public.
which numerous failures, and consequent ruin to thousands of
industrious families have proved to be fallacious, that the Di-
rectors think they will best discharge their duty to the Proprie-
tors and to the Public by a simple statement of the advantages
which have been realised by these Offices.
The COUNTY FIRE OFFICE has not only settled all
claims with promptitude snd liberality, but has, from its first
establishment, made large Returns to the Insured.—These
amount at the present time to 125.0001.
The PROVIDENT LIFE OFFICE has at each septen-
nial period divided the whole of the profits, subject to a deduc-
tion of about a twentieth part only, among the insured. The
benefits actually secured to lives insured in this Office, may be
judged of by the following Table

This Work, a Seventh Edition of which Is note presented tis
the public, ten thousand copies have been exhallated tsinte its
first appearance, has been very meth improved and enlarged
by the addition of a more extended and clear detail of general
principles, as also by the insertion of several new and h4ehly in-
teresting cases. The book, as has been already stated, is the
result of very ample and daily increasing experience in a Oast
of diseases, which, for some unaccountable reason, haft been
either altogether overlooked, or treated almost *ith itiddbfe
ence, by the ordinary medical practitioner, The proverbial
and well known rapacity of unqualified practitioners, who
traffic on the health and credulity. of patients, has been en-
couraged and aroused by this supineness, on the part of the
regular surgeon. In order to obviate the pernicious effects
sure to result from the practices of such pretenders, the
authors have for a considerable time devoted themselves ek,
elusively to a certain class of diseases; of the necessity of *
doing, they were further convinced by feeling that tact in in-
vestigating the latent sources of many diseases, which arise
from certain secret practices, can only be acquired by an ex-
clusive and undivided attention to this departmeet of medical
practice. The numberless instances daily occurring, whersin
affections of the lungs, putting on all the outer appearances of
consumption, which, however, when traced to their source,
are found to result from certain baneful practices, fully proves
that the principle of the division of labour, is nowhere more
applicable than in medical practice. We feel no hesitation in
saying that there is no member of society by whom the book
will not be found useful, whether such person hold the relation
of a Parent, a Preceptor, or a Clergyman.
The PARENT, who beholds his beloved child pining
away, and fast approaching to a premature grave, in conse-
quence of some disease, which, for want of careful investiga-
tion of its real cause, has been set down to the score of con-
sumption, will, on perusing this work, be astonished to find,
that in nine-tenths of the cases of young persons of both
sexes, who perish of what is called pulmonary consumption,
