A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, _and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, 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 Uncliallengeable.
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 whatover; while at the same
time it absolutely guarantees at decease, when evon a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed aunt in
respect of every In emium paid, bearing the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
initials actually paid may bear to the whole number origi-
-41037 'contracted to be paid. '
Besides this important advantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn ou
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 ampany on these points, as is the
case with ordinary assurances.
Creditors assuring the lives of debtors will appreciate
this feature as one greatly protective 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 bo witho4 any
conditions as to voyaging, foreign residence, or other 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. Tho longest
term provided for is twenty-fie years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this el iss as security,
may always know the utmost amount they May he called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
A ssuranees—a matter of great importauco where policies
are held as collateral security.

It is only necessary to add that, es n consequence of the
policies under these tables I,lng unforn,itab,e and uncon-
ditional, they will also lie unchallengeable on any pround
whatever. They luny therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Seenrity I' licivs.
