ABSOLUTE SECURITY POLICIES, UN-
L 1 FORFEITABLE, UNCONDITIONAL, and UN-
CIIALLENGEABLM, issued by the PRUDENTIAL
ASSURANCE COMPANY, 62, Ludgate-bill, Loudon,
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 absolutely Unforfeitable, Unconditional,
and Unchellengeable.
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-
minnts, the Assurance b3come forfeited. To this
class of the public •the system now introduced will espe-
-6.113 commend itself, being entirely free from 41 condi-
tions of forfeiture on account- of non-payment of premium,
or from any other cause Wha.ever; while at the Mlle
time it absolutely guarantees at when even a de-
fault is made in payment of the p•eminni. a fix :34 aunt in
respect of every pentium paid, b• ariug tlu, same propor-
tion to the tete! amount assured as the 111111111" r of pr.-
rniums actually pail may hear to the whole number origi-
nally contracted to be paid.
Itesides this important alvantage, every pact' will ex-
pressly state what sum can at any time be withdrawn on
the discontinuance of the assurance.

The assure l will thus always have the option of retain-
ing either an nsc,rtained fixed sum payable at decease,
or, in case of need, of withdrawing-a certain amount, cc-
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 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 1 ngest
term provided for is twenty-firct years, and the shortest
five years,'as shown by the Tables. Thus, bankers, credi-
tors, anl others holding policies of this el lss as security,
may always' know the utmost. amount they may he called
upon to advance so as to maintain the full benefit of the
Assurar.;!es—e matter of great importance where p'd cies
are twin! as collatOral security. . .
