BSOLUTE SECURETY POLICIES, UM-
FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, ksned 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 absolutelyi Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallangeable.

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 confirm; 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 ou 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 311111 in
respect of every premium paid, Iv a: in;.; the Sallle propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pr,-
!Moms act,:aly paid may hear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Besides this important alvantage, every policy will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.
The assure ! will thus always hive the option of ret ,in-
ing either an ascertainc,l f1x.,1 sum payable at decease,
or, in en se oF nerd, (,f withdrawintr a certain amount, cc-
cor,linz t the duration of the Policy, such antounta 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 Policyl 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.
3n 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 holding policies of this class 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 hell as eollatentl. securit v._

It :s only neocssaty to add that, an a consequence of the
I.olfe:es nudor these tablos belmy, onrorfoitahle an,l uncon-
ditional, they will al.) he unchalletzeable on any `:round
whatever. They may therefore be aptly termod Absolute
Security Policies.
