IMPORTANT CAUTION.—Beware 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 deemed 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.
18.4131:—"Rome, July 21st, 1866.—The health of the
Holy Father is excellent, especially since, abandoning all
other remedies, he has confined himself entirely to Du
Btrry's Rovalenta Arabica Food, of which he consumes a
plateful at every meal. It has produced a surprisingly
beneficial effect on his health, and his Holiness cannot
praise this excellent food too highly."

% BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
LA. FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLI NGEABLM. issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, Loudon,
E.C. Established 18.18.
The Directors of this Company, in deference to an ob-
jection not unfrequently urged by parsons invite.i to as-
sure, that the ordinary mode of Life Assurance is in their
opinion defective or uncertain, by reason of the op,•ration
of the customary conditions, have resolved to p •emulgate
the present Tables, and to issue Assurances under thorn
which shall be absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchallengeable.
For the reason referred to, many persons hesitate or
decline to assure on the ground that, in the event of in-
ability Of Unwillingness to continue payment of their pre-
miums, the Assurance will becom.) 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pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on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
mere 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 voyazing, 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 -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 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 £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

Proprietors, August 14, 1868—Colonel CHARLES
WETHERALL, K.C.T., Chairman of the Company, in
the Chair.
The proprietors will no doubt remember that at the last
annual general meeting a report was made to them for the
quinquennial period then terminating, and that a bonus
was declared in respect of it amounting to the sum of
£208,774. The surplus fund account, as under, commences
with the balance of June, 1867, after deduction of this
bonus—that is to say, with the debit of £772,740 13s. 9d.

HENRY ROSE,
The total income of the year, it will be seen,is £011,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo
or the sum laid by: viz., £134.811 14s. 9d.—raises
the fund again to £907,552 Bs. 6d.
The interest received durin g the year is £117,581 7s.
3d., arising from the productive portion of the realised
assets of £2,897,1:%7
t 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
snore 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. 91,
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
rear by upwards of £1,400. But they still include charges
incurred iu the final closing of the two of ceslast 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.
