of the Company, and receive a rate of Annuity much more
favourable than can be granted

investments wholly in England. The' Company is enabled
securely to grant these favourable terms' from the advantages
it possesses of investing a portion of its Funds at a high rate
of interest.

This Society is founded on the principal of Mutual
Guarantee. The rates of premium are considerably below
those of most other offices, besides which the members enjoy
the benefit of periodical additions to the sums insured, which
have already amounted to 445,7891. ; and from a recent valua-
tion of the Society's liabilities, it has been found, that since
the year 1836 profits have accrued at the rate of 25,0001. per
Annum, thereby affording the means for an early further addi-
tion to the policies of the insured, and establishing the fact,
that the present state of the Society is that of a sound and
prosperous concern.

In the course of the present year 419 new policies have been
issued, a ratio of new.business equal to that of most Life Offices.

my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country

believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 23. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use. of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr.. Wil-
ockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so cell
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your
obliged servant,
