Under the Management of a Board of Directors.

This Society, in addition to the general business of Insur-
ance Companies, has been formed for the purpose of enabling
persons of very moderate means to attain those objects hitherto
confined to the more wea_thy, viz.:-
Ist. Insurii,g their lives in sums from 5/. and upwards, se-
curing Deferred Annuities as a provision for Old Age; Weeav
Allowances during Sickness ; and Endowments for Children,
the Premiums being divided into Monthly Instalments for the
convenience of the Insured. Also for the protection of such
as possess only a small personal property, Insurances are effected
against loss by Fire, in sums from 101. to 100/., by Quarterly
Payments ; thus Household Goods, Wearing Apparel, Stock
in Trade, Workmen's Tools, &c., to the value of 20/. can be
Insured, on payment of Sixpence every Three Months, duty
included.
The attention of tl.e Public is particularly directed to this
very novel feature, for the man to whom this fact is known, will
henceforth deserve little sympathy should he become the victim
of a calamity, against the evils of which he could so readily
have guarded.
Prospectuses, detailing at length the various modes and rates
of Insurance, can be obtained on application at the office, 351,
Strand, or to anv of the Society's Agents.

rHE VOICE CONDUCTORS invented by
Mr. E. SOLOAIONS are the most powerful instru-
ments for the relief of deafness. From their minute construc-
tion, and convenient form, deaf persons are enabled to wear
them entirely unseen, and they may be inserted and removed
with the greatest facility. By their use the lowest whisper
breathed at a public assembly vibrates on the organs of hear-
ing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford the greatest relief
to those labouring under the distressing ailment of deafness.
Mr. E. SOLOMONS' PATENT SPECTACLES possess
the advantage of modifying bright and strong light transmitted
through the various humours of the eye, so as to render vision
most perfectly distinct by day, or lamps or candles at night,
conveying also a sense of coolness and pleasure to the organ,
with the additional recommendation of being free finer the per-
nicious attributes of common glasses. Their superlative ex-
cellence is attested by the following and many (steer eminent
practitioners, who have examined, used, and recommended
them in preference to all others :

The public are respectfully cautioned against some unprinci.
pled empirics 'who have assumed Mr. E. S.'s name and pro-
fession, and are from his immediate neighbourhood, and,
with the most unblushing effrontery, issuing from the daily
press puffs about " Newly-invented Spectacle Lenses," and
Hearing Instruments, which are fraudulently set forth as pos-
sessing the most wonderful powers. The Glasses are highly
detrimental to the sight. The names of some obscure apothe-
caries and others are used in this absurd quackery. to deceive
the public into a belief that these pernicious glasses possess
some very supernatural powers. These common Lenses may
be purchased for one shilling the pair, and for which the most
exorbitant charges are exacted by the parties, against whom
th public are now respectfully cautioned. Mr. E. S. has re-
eeived for his invention " Royal Letters Patents" and the pa-
tronage of the Royal Family.
