E NGINEERS' LIFE ASSURANCE
SOCIETY.
REPORT OF DIRECTORS TO ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING,
1849.

The position of the Society's affairs enables the Directors to con-
gratulate the members upon the very satisfactory solution of the pro-
blem given in the last year's report.
During the year 1849, 748 proposals for assurance; to the amount
of 192,0301., have been submitted to the hoard, GO of which the di-
rectors deemed it prudent to decline, 45 stood over for further consi-
deration or conviction, and 643 policies, securing the sum of 165,2701.,
'and producing premiums to the amount of 5,0471. 2s. 4d. have been
completed.
The total number of policies completed to the 31st of December
was 851.

The annual income derivable from premiums 7,113/. 55. 11d.
•

Notwithstanding the large number of members assured with this
society, and the fearful epidemic which visited this country daring
the past year, only seven claims from death, and to the amount of
but 1,2501. have arisen.
The directors cannot too frequently call the attention of the mem-
bers, and through them, of the public, to two features which must
have mainly contributed towards the attainment of this great success,
♦iz., that this society has never required the members of the medical
profession to give information as to the proposers' state of health with-
out remuneration from the oilier, for the benefit of which such infor-
mation Is sought and given ; and that it was the first. Life Assurance
Society to abolish the obnoxious Impost of policy stamps, as payable
by assarers.

The directors earnestly request the continued exertions of the as-
sured to sustain the high position of favour with the public already
secured ; and they feel persuaded that the members cannot but re-
ceive great assistance in their endeavours to promote the well-being
of the society from the report which the directors now with confi-
dence and sAtisfacticn present to them.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
fortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering frora their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, bet erro-
neously entertained that theme complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking or assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA '3IERT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his diplomas testify, and the great extent of his
practice far many years is a guarantee for his professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.
