LAMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, colds, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach..
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
Bing William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 13d., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address aro engraved on the

THOMAS ALLEN,/
HENRY ROSE, f Auditors.
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,651 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by—viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 88. 6d.
The interest received during the year is £117,584 7s.
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 be considered as having improved at the rate Of rather
more than 4 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £5 12s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 ls. 9d.,
and of this sum £3,270 15s. 4d. has been expended in re-
assurances.

The claims on decease of lives assured are 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 premiiims 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 51
per cent. on the total income.
The balance-sheet is as follows :
