the natural teeth as not to be distinguished from the ori-
ginals by the closest observer ; they will never change
colour or decay, and will bo found superior to any teeth
ever before used. This method does not require the
extraction of roots, or any painful operation, and will
support and preserve teeth chat are loose, and is gua-
ranteed to restore articulation and mastication. Decayed
teeth stopped and rendered sound and useful in masti-
cation.

Making a total income of £237.980 19 8
The claims were 335, amounting to the sumo! £127,886
12s. ld.

The balance of the year's income was £68,026 9s. 4d.
The assets of the association at the close of the year
amounted to £667,493 Bs. sd.
The directors draw special attention to the fact thrt 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 tho 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.

THOMAS ALLEN} Auditors
HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by-- viz., £134,811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 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 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
par 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 5.1
per cent. on the total income.

pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030

PAINLEss and PRACTICAL DENTISTRY,
by Mr. B. L. MOSELY, the Dentist by special appoint-
ment, 812, REGENT-STREET, exactly opposite the Royal
Polytechnic. Established 1820. This, the most perfected
system of painless dentistry, originated and invented by
Mr.ll. L. Mosely, is ',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 be 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 Rao, 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 facial anatomy faithfully studied and
youthful appearance restored mastication and articulation
g••aranteed. The " Times" of March 6 says : —"So good
a'i imitation becomes the next best thing to the original.'
Teeth from 55.; sets, 5 to 30 guineas. Consultation
free.—Only address, 312, Regent-street, exactly facing the

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
EX- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, 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 Lite 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 Unchallongeable.
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
crass 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 oven a de-
fault is made in payment of the premium, a fixed sum in
respect of every pentium 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
more inspection, the exact value, either immediate or re-
versionary, of a Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be without 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. The longest
term provided for is twenty-fire years, and the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this cliss as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurances—a matter of great importance where policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will also be unchallengeable on any ground
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £211,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
- -s •••••.- office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
