INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have their

ACCOMMODATION IN LOAN TILANSACTIONS.—OnIy one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be
Paid for the first five years, simple interest being cha gre
advance
on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an e
immediat
of 50 per cent. upon the Annual Premium, without the borrower
having recourse to the unpleasant necessity of procuring sureties,
or assigning and thereby parting with his Policy, during the cur-
rency of the loan, irrespective of the great attendant expenses in
such arrangements.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advantageous
when policies have been required to cover monetary transactions,
or when incomes applicable for insurance are at present limited, as
it only necessitates half the outlay formerly required by other com-
panies before the present system was instituted by this office,
Loans are granted likewise on real and personal securities.
ADVANTAGE OF INSURING BEFORE Dm. 31, 1858.—Policies effected
before this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed
after that period.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
which Lava produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood, and premature decay at all stages of lice, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
Particularly recommended to persons entertaining secret doubts of
their physical condition, and who are conscious of having hazarded
the health, happiness, and privileges to Which every human being
is entitled.
It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there
'wind** of personal management which cannot be violated
are
withent L.7"ring 6'l"ievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret
sacceed the hey ..7....v of inconsiderate self-indulgence, bow those pe-
nalties may be miiiaa::-‘l. how the Sting of their bitterness may be
he avoided,
removed, and how the evil od Its consaquonce3 may

mity or functional derangement to which the timely aid Of science
cannot apply a cure.
