A BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
E- 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 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 thorn
which shall be .absolutely Unforfeltable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.-
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline tnassure on the ground that, in the event of in-
ability or unwillingness to continue payment of their iirt-
naitirn§, the Assurance will becom- forfeited. To this.
class of the public the system now introduced will cspe-
cially. commend itself, being entirely free from condi-
tions of forfeiture on account of non-payment of prethinm,
or from- any cther 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 sum. in
respect of every premium paid. b• aring the same propor-
tion to the total amount assured as the number of pre-
mierna actually pail may bear to the whole number origi-
nallycontracted to be paid. •
resides this-important adVantage, eVery pokey will ex.:
pressly gate-What sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the dhicontinuance of the assurance. •

The assured will thus always have the-option-of retsin-
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 aro 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 6 Policy of this description.
Every Policy issued on this plan will be withcni,t 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 I,•ngest
term provided for is twenty-five years, and the shortest
five years, n s shown by tho Tables. • Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this dies as security,
may always know the utmost amount they may be called
upon to adva.ocie a. to ni,lutain the full benelit_ of the
ns:,llT-ffr-Wr------ix matter of great importance- where policies
are held as collateral security.

It is only necessary to add that, as ti consequence of the
roPcies under these tahlcs tx1:12; unforfeitable and uncon-
ditional, they will alski be unchalleng.-•able on any pround
‘vbatever. They may therefore be aptly termed Absolute
Security

The PRUDENTIAL A-SSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000, a year Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
It-,innms of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
