Toured him with their orders. The public can be supplied with this
delicious spirit, of great age and strvngth, in quantities of two gal-
lons, at 18s. per gallon. Stamped sample bottles, 3s. 4d. and is. Bd.

XOTICIC TO HOLDERS OF POLICIES IN THE EQUITABLE
ASSURANCE COMPANY 01' LONDON.
l[j NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,
No. Ea, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
The attention of Holders of Policies in the Equitable Assurance
Company of London, is particularly called to the Ralf-credit Scales
et Premium of this Company, by which table the bonus to be de-
clared at the next investigation of the Equitable Assurance Cons-
Pany's affairs, in January, 1850, may be secured at a present annual
Payment of one-half the rites generally charged by other compa-
nies. In the event of death the sum insured will be paid, after deduc-
tion of the other halt of the rates. Should the life insisted survive the
declaration of the bonus, the policy may be allowed to lapse, and the
Company will renounce all claim for the half premiums which may
Se due thereon ; or in the event of the party being at that time in
bad health, the policy can be kept up at the full premium of the age
as when first accepted. The above plan, originating with this Corn-
PanY, was found peculiarly advantageous at the last division of profits
in the Equitable Assurance Company, in 1840, when it was largely
adopted, and many of the policies then effected are still In force,
and large bonuses have been added to them en the scale of the fol-
lowing table :

I cannot resist informing you of the extraordinary effect that
have experienced by taking only a few of your Lozenges. I bad a
Bough
for several weeks, that defied all that had been prescribed for
e ; and yet I got completely rid of it by taking about half a small
box of your Lozenges, which I find are the only ones that relieve the
cough without deranging the stomach or digestive organs.
