AMBERT'S ASTHMATIC BALSAM.—AN
ILI EFFECTUAL REMEDY, without confining the
bowels or affecting the head, truly efficacious and pleasant,
is admitted to be the best medicine for immediately re-
lieving coughs, cold, confirmed cases of asthma, and inci-
pient consumption. It frequently cures persons whom the
faculty pronounce incurable, and admirably allays the
ticking which provokes frequent coughing. In approach-
ing consumption its effects are truly beneficial. Persons
deprived of sleep, or even lying down for fear of suffoca-
tion, may depend on relief in a few minutes after taking it.
Prepared only and sold by W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 8,
King William-street, Charing-cross, London, and by all
druggists, in bottles, 1311., and three quantities in one,
2s. 9d. each. Be particular, and ask for Lambert's Asth-
matic Balsam. The name and address are engraved on the
stamp.

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN- '
I- 3- FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE- COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.C. Estalaashed 1848.
The DireetOrs 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 p,-omulgato
thepresent Tables, and to issue Assurances under them
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchullengoable.
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 pr(?-
nuums, 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 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, 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pressly stato what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the diac,oetinuance of the assurance.

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 theirinterests, 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
withoutrther

versionary, of a Policy of this description.

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-five years, and the shortest
credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this class as security,
five, years, as shown by the Tables.
. Thus,. bankers, n

may always know the utmost amount they may be called
Assurances—a matter of gFeat importance where policies
are held as collateral security.
It is only necessary to add that, as a consequence of the
ditional, they will also be on any ground
policies under these tables being unforfeitable and uncon-
whatever. They may thereforebe apty termed Absolute
Security Policies.
The PRUDENTIAL ASSURANCE COMPANY pos-
sesses an income of £215,000 a year. Its position is un-
questionable, and it obtains the largest amount of new
business of any office in the Kingdom. SPECIAL
