And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan_ Infirmary for the

'Cure-of Strictures of tfie Urethra.
" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view
of the Causes, Nature, Consequences, and Trea:inent of this
Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

• The Funds or Property of the Company as at 31st Decem-
ber, 1857, amounted to £617,801, invested in Government or
other approved securities.
Annual. Income, upwards of £lll,OOO from premiums alone.
CHAIRMAN.—The Hon. FRANCIS SCOTT. M.P.
DEPUTY CHAIRMAN.—C HARLES BERWICK CU RT IS,Esq.
INVALID LlVES.—Persons not in sound health may have
their lives insured at equitable rates.
ACCOMMODATION IN PAYMENT OF PREMIUM.—OnIy one-
half of the Annual Premium, when the insurance is for life,
requires to be paid for the first five years, simple interest be-
ng charged on the balance. Such arrangement is equivalent
to an immediate advance of 50 per cent. upon the annualpre
minm, without the borrower, having recourse to the unlilea-
sant necessity of proeuring' sureties, or assigning and thereby
parting with his Policy, during the currency of the Loan,
irrespective of the great attendant expenses in such arrange-
ment.
The above mode of insurance has been found most advan-
tageous 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 Companies before the present system was
instituted by this Office.
LbAxs—Are granted likewise on real and personal Secu-
rities.
Forms of Proposals and every information afforded on ap-
plication to the Resident Director,
