SPECIAL NOTlCE.—Parties desirous of Participating in
the Fourth Division of Profits to be declared on all Policies
effected prior to the 31st December, 1861, should, in order
to enjoy the same, make immediate application. There have
already- been three Divisions'of Profits, and the Bonuses di-
vided have averaged nearly Two per cent. per annum on the

paid, without imparting to the recipients the risk of co-part-
nership, as is the case ha Mutual Societies.
To show more clearly what these (Bonuses amount to, the
three following cases are put forth as examples—
Sum Insured. Bonuses added, Amountpayable up to Dec. 1851

100 39 : 15 139:15
Notwithstanding these large adeitions, the Premiums ar.
on the lowest scale compatible with security for the payment
of the Policy when death arises ; in addition to which ad-
vantages. one-half of the Premiums may, if desired, for the
term of live years, remain unpaid at 5 per cent. Interest,
without security:or deposit of the Policy.
