FIRE BRANCH.

Notwithstanding the large accessions of business made
annually through a long series of years, which obviously in-
crease the difficulty of further advances, yet the Fire Pre-
miums of the year 1859 rise above those of the preceding
year—by a larger sum than has been obtained by the increase
of any single year since the formation of the Company, ex-
cepting the year 1853, disclosing an advance of 50 PER CENT.
TN THREE YEARS.
The following figures exhibit the progress of the whose
Fire Branch, running over the last Ten years :

Placing the Company among the very largest offices in the
Kingdom. Indeed, it is believed that there are now only
three offices in existence which equal it in Fire revenue.

LIFE BUSINESS.

The Directors desire to call the especial attention of the
Proprietors of THE LIFE BRANCH of the Establishment.
The ACTUARY'S Report on this subject is accompanied
by an Appendix, illustrated by two coloured Diagrams,
which make plain to the unprofessional eye the mortality ex-
perienced by the "Royal," as indicated by curved lines,
which contrast most favourably with the former Averages of
mortality, also displayed on the Diagrams.
The Bonus apportioned to the Assured, with participation,
amounts to £2 per cent. per annum, to be added to the origi
nal sum assured of EVERY PARTICIPATING POLICY
effected previously to the Ist of January, 1858, for each entire
year that it had been in existence since the last appropriation
of Bonus thereon, and is ONE OF THE LARGEST
BONUSES EVER DECLARED.
The Paid-up and Invested Capital, including Life Funds,
amounts to upwards of £700,000 sterling.

REVIEWS Ol' THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.--Thrs is a truly valuable work, Times
should be in the hands of young and old.' —" Sunday Times,
23d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—"Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
Dr. CURTIS may be consulted as usual, either by letter or
personally, at his residence, as above. The efficacy and
harmless nature of the remedies employed by him having
been demonstrated by the most complete success during a
practice extending over a period of twenty-five years, nervous
sufferers can rely that the utmost skill and experience will be
made available in the treatment of their cases.
