pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847,
when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted
to the holder oi'every such Policy issued prior to that date.

pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.

of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited
responsibility of its proprietary.

" Of huinan ills and frailties I discourse,
Those taught by nature, and by art acquirl.

Which young and gentle, the matured and sage,
The lonely and he mated—all sustain.
In kindly spirit, h rein counsel's giv'n,
How health, how hope, how happiness to gain."

WHAT in EAT, DRINK, and AVOID;
With Diet Tables for all Complaints.
. . _

Contents : How to ensure perfect digestion, tranquil feelings, a
good night's rest, a clear head, and a contented mind. fly an ob-
servance of the instructions herein contained, the feeble, the ner-
vously delicate, even to the most shattered constitution, may acquire
the greatest amount of ph! sical happiness, and reach is health the
full period of life allotted to man. . . _

" How we sho ild live—what eat, what drink, what shun,
To reach in health fnll threescore years and ten."

These interesting little volumes, although tearing upon subjects of
very del cate import, as their titles imply, will be found of immea-
surable and gene•al utility, for they tell of matters every living crea-
ture able to understan I ought to know, but which information in
these enlightened times, except that quality promulgated through
questionable channels, is at a very terrible discount.
In the exposition hereby offered of the till now hidden truths of
nature, ow human disappointments and their ways of relief. it is not
contended that every reader shall become his or her own physician
any more than their own lawyer, but it is insisted upon that we
should know the sample principles of our owu organization, the laws
whereby our existence and the is,ue thereof in their se :eral healthy
states depend, the duties that are expected of us in our Individual
capacities in the family circle, and the terms on which the health and
happiness of the present and future race of mankind have to rely.
By such knowledge, and which is herein faithfully imparted,
health will be found to be in our own keeping, and happiness
within the attainment of all; by the availnient hereof in fulfilling
our duty to ourselves, we secure the like advantages on our offspring
to follow, and finally by the cultivation of our faculties, which is in-
consistent with degenerate health, the mind as well as the body may
be exalted to the summit of perfection, as best becomes the highest
of God's creations. _ .

The autnor's justification for this seeming eulogy of his own writ-
ings, and the avowal of their integrity of purpose, must be measured
by their perusal—his accredited qualifications guarantee that the
topics broached involve his legitimate study and pursuit.
