RUPTURES.-BY ROYAL LETTERS PATENT.

WHITE'S MOC-MAIN LEVER TRUSS
(Perfected and Exhibited in the Great Exhibitions
of 18M and 1862) is allowed by upwards of Five Hundred
Medical men to be the most effective invention in
the curative treatment of HERNIA. The use of a steel
spring, so often hurtful in its effects, is here avoided—a
soft bandage being worn round the body, while the requi-
site resisting power is supplied by the Sfoc-Main Pad and
Patent Lever, fitting with so much ease and closeness that
it cannot be detected, and may be worn during sleep. A
descriptive circular may be had, and the truss, which can-
rot fail to fit, forw..rdei by poet, on the circumference of
the body, two inches below the hip; being sent to the
manufacturer,

The directors draw special attention to the fact thet the
next bonus valuation will take place at the end of the year
1872, and that all polices effected on the profit scales prior
to the 31st December, 1869, will be entitled to participate
in the same.
The directors also draw attention to the successful esta-
blishment during the past year of the Britannia Fire
Association, under the auspices of the Briton. The direc-
tors believe that the establishment of a Fire Company, to
work in active co-operation with the Life, will tend much
to the advantage and profit of both institutions. It is
scarcely necessary to remark that the capital funds and
constitution of each office are quite separate and distinct.

The total income of the year, it will bo seen, is £544,466
9s. 2d., and the total outgo £409,654 14s. sd. ; the diffe-
rence, or the sum laid by- viz., £134,811 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 per cent. ; or, if the profit shown of £46,070
13s. 3d., derived from various extraneous sources, be in-
cluded, at upwards of £sl2s. per cent.
The premiums on new assurances are £14,596 is. 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 tho risks
re-assured having. terminated by death and other causes.

The expenses of mew:gement are loss than thoseof last
year 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 tho total income.

pany's policies. Exclusive of the sum indicating the value
of the future premiums, the assets amount to £3,059,030

BSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
LA• FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CHALLENGEABLE, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-hill, London,
E.O. 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 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 or unwillingness to continue 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 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-
tiou 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 likewlse 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 lesued on this plan will bo withm any
conditions as to voyaeing, 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-fire years, end the shortest
five years, as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, and others holding policies of this clisa as security,
may Itnow the utmost amount they may be called
upon to advance so as to in-tintain the full benefit of the
Assurat:zes---a matter of great importance where policies
are bold as collateral security.

It is only necesxtry to add that, as n eons9quencP of the
policies under 11,ese-tables being un forfeitable and uncol-
ditional, they will nko be tmchalleur,oable _on any c.routul
whatever. They luny therefore bn aptly t,ilned Absolute
Security Polieiep.

General Grant and hia family, it will be remembered,
narrowly escaped destruction through a railway accident
at Annapolis. This event made a great impression upon
him. The danger to his family affected him much more than
the personal peril of many hotly-contested fields, and
he declined all hospitalities until the impression: wore off.
The accident was brought about in a very singular
manner. A cow was struck by the engine whilst passing
through a cutting, and thrown upon the bank. Ths
engine, tender, baggage, and mail cars passed by, but the
animal rolled dor:7l the I—tick Toler the wheels of the
first passenger car. It was thrown off the line and de-
stroyed, two or three succeeding cars following it. The
latter part of the train was not injured. Several persons
were seriously hurt, but none fatally.
