IxvAian Lives,—Persons not hi sound health may have their
lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMr.WATION IN LOAN TRANSACTIONS.—Only one-half of the
Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life, requires to be
,paid for the first five years, simple interest being charged on the
balance. Such arrangement is equivalent to an immediate advance
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,
er 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 EEC. 31, 1858.—Policies effected
Adore this date will participate to a greater extent than if delayed
atter that period.

The essential object of this treatise is to point out the fearful con-
sequences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
eich have produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Man-
hood,„„, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other class of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is
artieularly 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 i
absolutely necessary that all men should know that there
are Principles of personal management which cannot be violated
without, incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret
7_4eoed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how those pe-
ualties may be mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be
removed, and how the evil and its consequences may be avoided,
and, above all, that there is scarcely any degree of physical intlr-
bait
,Y or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science
cannot apply a cure.
