PAIN LESS and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSEI.Y, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 312, REGENT-STIOET, exactly opposite the Koyal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of piinless dentistry. originated and invented by
Mr. B. L. Mosely, is r commended by the Hospitals and
adopted by the profession as one of the greatest Improve-
ments of the age for the alleviation of pain and restoration
of the natural functions, can solely bo obtained in such
perfected success (the result of forty years' practical ex-
perience) at his only residence, 312, Regent-street. The
superlative excellence of this system is perfect immunity
from plin, no operations, stumps, and decayed teeth ren-
dered useful, loose teeth and tender gums protected.
Qualities: These teeth never change colour or decay—in
fit unerring—ease and comfort unsurpassed—detection
impossible—the anatomy biithfully studied—and
youthful appearance restored - mastication and articulation
aranteed: The " Times" of March 6 says : - "So good
an hnitation becomes the next best thing to tl-e original."
Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation
f ree. —Only address, 312, Regenl-street, exactly facing the
Royal Polytechnic.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
L FORFEITABLE UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, London,
E.C. Established 1848.
The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by persons invited to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the operation
of the customary conditions, have resolved to promulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will become forfeited. To this
class of the public the system now introduced will espe-
cially commend itself, being entirely free from all condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause whatever; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every premium paid, bearing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
miums actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.
The assured will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either an ascertained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing a certain amount, ac-
cording t the duration of the Policy, such amounts being
set forth on every. Policy, and rendering unnecessary any
future reference to the Company on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective of their interests, and
it will likewise commend itself to bankers, capitalists, and
others who are in the habit of making advances collaterally
secured by Life Policies, as they can at any time learn, by
mere inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will bowehout any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, her usual
limitations. By this freedom from restrictions of all kinds
the objections before referred to will be entirely removed,
and the Policies will become at once positively valuable as
actual securities.
In addition to the foregoing statement of advantages,
the number of premiums is strictly defined. The longest
term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others bolding policies of this class as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
Lupon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great iniportance where policies
arifilitild-as-ge41,4,,ral security.
these tables betty, unforfeitable and uncoil-
poilitciiessounnlydenreeessary
ditional, they will also he nnehallengeable on any ground
to acid that, as a consequence of the
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.

sesses an income of £215,000 a year Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL

The assets of the association at the close of the year

The directors draw special attention to the fact that the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

ENRY ROSE,

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £511,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £109,651 11s. 5d.; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., .£131.511 14s. 91—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 61
The interest received during the year is £117,581 75.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,157, mentioned in the last year's report.
The whole assets, productive and unproductive, may there-
fore he considered as having improved at the rate of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £16,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cont.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.

Tho claims on decease of lives assured aro nearly iden-
tical in amount with those of 1866. They are less than
those of last year by nearly £19,000.
A considerable reduction, too, appears in the amount
of premiums paid for re-assurance, many of the risks
re-assured having terminated by death and other causes.
The expenses of management are less than those of last
year by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred in the final closing of the two officeslast absorbed
by the company. The whole expenditure, however, in-
cluding income tax, is at the rate of little more than 5}
per cent. on tho total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :-
