"We believe 7%tr. Courtenay's experience in the treatment of
stricture to have equalled, if it has not exceeded, that of any of his
contemporaries ; whilst we most certainly know of no man to whose
care we would sooner intrust the treatment of a severe case of stric-
ture."—Medical Circular.

Established May, 1844.
Empowered by Special Act of Parliament.

THIS Company was Established in 1844, for
the purpose of opening to the public an easy and unquestion-
ably safe mode of Investment, with a high and uniform rate of Inte-
rest.

_
The plan of the Bank f Deposit differs entirely from that of ordi-
nary Banks in the mode of employing capital—money deposited
with this Company being principally lent upon well-secured Life
Interests, Reversions in the Government Funds, or other property
of ample value. This class of securities, although not immediately
convertible, it is well known yields the greatest amount of profit,
combined with the most perfect safety. Further, Loans made by
the Company are collaterally secured by a Policy of Assurance on
the life of the Borrower, or his nominee, effected at a rate of pre-
mium which secures the validity of the Policy against every pos-
sible coningency.
Thus depositors are effectually protected against the possibility of
loss, whilst the large and constantly increasing revenue arising
from the premiums on Assurances thus effected yields ample profit
to the Company, and provides for all the expenses of management.

DEPOSIT ACCOUNTS may be opened with sums of any amount, and
increased from time to time, at the convenience of depositors•
A receipt, signed by two Directors, is given for each sum de-
posited.

RATE AND PAYMENT OF INTEREST.
The rate of Interest since the establishment of the Company has
never been less than five per cent. per annum ; and it is confidently
anticipated that the same careful and Judicious selection from secu-
rities of the description above mentioned will enable the Board of
Management to continue this rate to depositors.
The interest is payable in January'and July. on the amount stand•
ing in the name of the depositor on the 30th of -June and 3' st of
December, and for the convenience of patties residing at a distance
may be received at the Branch Offices, or remitted through Country
Bankers.
