saves fifty times its cost in other remedies, and restores

refreshing sleep, functional regularity, and energy to the
most disordered or enfeebled—removing speedily and
effectually indigestion (dyspepsia), cough, asthma, con-
sumption, habitual constipation, diarrhoea, all gastric de-

the pit of the stomach and between the shoulders. It is
the most digestible and nourishing of all foods, and suitable
for invalids and infants in all complaints.
Istrolnrarr CAUTION.—BOWBTO of the many unsavoury
and more than slopy imitations to which, without autho-
rity, Baron Liebig's name is most audaciously attached.
Henceforth none will doubt the valuable properties of
Du Barry's health-restoring Revalenta Arabica Invalids'
and Infants' Food, since to the thousands of blessings it
has already received from invalids whose position had
been doomed hopeless, we may now add that of his Holi-
ness the Pope, whose health has been perfectly restored
by it after thirty years of unsuccessful medical treatment.
We quote from the Gazette du Midi, July 25th (Cure No.
1.8.413):—"R0me, July 21st, 1866. —The health of the
Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du

lateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly
beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot
praise this excellent food too highly."

The total income of the year, it will be seen, is X 544,466
Os. 2J., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £131.811 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 is r 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 51
per cent, on the total income.
