on the lives of persons resident in the United Kingdom, but
also on the lives of parties resident anywhere within and even
beyond the limits of Europe, including Foreigners of all nations

To Naval and Military Officers, at home and abroad, every
facility will be given for effecting Assurances on their lives.
Ladies and others, to whom it may be inconvenient to ap-
pear at the Office, will be visited at their residences by a Me
dical Officer of the Institution.

The business of this Office also embraces Assurances on
Survivarships ; the granting and purchasing of Annuities, im-
mediate, deferred, or Survivorship, the purchase of Contingent"
and Reversionary Property; the endowment of Widows and
Children ; and the advancing of Money, on Annuity, Mort-
age, and other available Securities.

a fixed Sum, or of having it increased by a participation in the
Profits.

Assurances may also be effected by a single payment, by a
payment for a number of years certain, or by any other mode
'as may meet the views of the Assured : and the Premiums

of entrance-money, admission-fee, or otherwise, beyond the
Stamps for the Policy.
As the most scrupulous care will be taken at the time of ef-
fecting the Assurance, in making all proper inquiries, no As-
surance, when once completed, will afterwards be queitioned or
disputed, except in cases of manifest fraud or misrepresentation.
Policies assigned for bona fide considerations will not become
void by death from suicide, duelling, or the hands of justice ;
and in cases where Policies shall not have been so assigned, a
discretionary power, founded upon the most liberal coniidera-
tion, is vested in tha Directors to return to the Widow or Chil-
dren of the assured the whole, or any part of the Premiums paid.
All Claims on the Company in respect of Assurances will be
paid within three calendar months after satisfactory proof of
the death of the party, or immediately after such proof on the
allowance of discount.

has succeeded in constructing a Tooth-brush upon a new prin-
ciple, which for the preservation of the teeth and gums and du-
rability, excels any ever yet offered. The fastening is composed
of corded silk and India rubber, by which it is impossible for
the hairs ever to come loose in the mouth ; they are the only
kind that can be warranted from corroding ; persons frequently
get bad teeth and gums from these causes, the corrosion being
poison to the breath, and cancer to the gums. Families in town
and country supplied carriage free, with every kind of sponges,
brushes, brooms, turnery, mats, horse clothing, blankets, lea-
thers, and every requisite for the use of houses and stables, of
the very best quality at wholesale prices, 40 per cent. under any
other house in England. Families in the country can have a
list of wholesale prices by a post-paid application, 33, Strand.

ADECIDED CASE of CONSUMPTION
RADICALLY CURED by PARR'S LIFE PILLS.

" TO THE PROPRIETORS.

" GENTLEstErr,—I feel it a duty I owe to you and to the
Public at large, to acknowledge the most important benefit I have
received from PARR'S LIFE PILLS. I was for nine years
a soldier in the 52d Regiment of Foot, and was discharged in
October 1839, in consequence of ill health (being deemed con-
sumptive), after having the best advice her Majesty's service
afforded. I returned to my native town, feeling that my days
could not be long on earth. But by what almost appears an in-
terposition of Providence, my attention was directed to Parr's
Life Pills, and by taking only two 2s. 98. boxes, I was com-
pletely cured, and am thus a living monument to the good ef-
fected by this valuable medicine. Within the last few days I
have been on a visit to some of my friends in a neighbouring
village, where I was told that It was like seeing one risen
from the dead, to see me walking through their streets.' I
have recommended them to my neighbours, and many of them
have experienced very great benefit from their use.
" I am, Gentlemen, yours, &c. JOHN OSBORNE.
" March 8, 1841.
Witness—James Burgess, Bookseller, Hinckly."
Mr. John Osborne's case was pronounced by the regimental
doctors to be incurable consumption. By the aid of this won-
derful medicine he is now so hearty and active as to be en-
abled to travel on foot, since the date of his recovery, upwards
of 1,200 miles.
CAUTION OF GREAT IMPORTANCE.

Purchasers are requested to ask for " Parr's Life Pills," as
their great and deserved reputation, and consequent large sale,
have induced several unprincipled parties to attempt various
imitations. Persons who are desirous of testing the wonderful
efficacy of this medicine, must observe that none are genuine
without the words PARR'S LIFE PILLS be engraved on
the Government Stamp, on white letters on a red ground.

Already actions have been brought, and damage; obtained,
against unprincipled parties, who, for the sake of larger gain,
have sold dangerous preparations when asked for " Parr's Life
Pills." The Proprietors are determined to protect the public
from such frauds, by prosecuting all persons engaged either in
preparing or selling any imitation whatever.
Sold by most respectable Medicine Venders in Town arid
Country; to be had wholesale of Edwards, 67, St. Paul's,
London, in Boxes, Price Is. lid., 2s. ad., and family boxes

THE ONLY GENUINE PECTORAL
BALSAM OF HONEY, for Coughs, Colds, Asthmas,
Ike. Invented by Sir JOHN HILL, M.D.
Sir John Hill, who was a very eminent Physician, recommended
this excellent preparation as the most salutary and effectual remedy
for all disorders of the Breast and Lungs : and many years' experience
has confirmed the recommendation in the immediate relief and gra-
dual cure of Coughs, Colds, Asthmas, and Consumptions. It is the
greatest preserver of the Lungs ever discovered, and contains all the
healing, softening, and soothing qualities of that salubrious extract of
FLOWERS, called HONEY. Professional Gentlemen do not hesi-
tate to recommend it, as it never disagrees with the Stomach, and
common Colds, in most cases, yield to its beneficial e&cts in a few
hours. Price 3s. 6d. and 2s. Pd. per Bottle.
Sold by Edwaids, 67, St. Paul's Churchyard; Sanger, 150, Ox-
ford-street; White, 24, Cornhill, opposite the Royal Exchange; and
by most dealers in Medicines.

" Non est vivere sed valere vita."—MA RTIA L.

Life is only life, when blest with Health."
THE finest System of Ethics is to confine with-
in due bounds, and thus to regulate the Passions, which
unrestrained and insubo&inate, impetuously destroy those barriers
which Religion and Morality have made sacred; to curb, but not
annihilate them, appears the lesson of prudence best calculated to
limit their effervescence.

Every disorganization of the human frame requires great medical
knowledge to remedy, and the public welfare is promoted when pro-
fessional men (disregarding the suggestions of the envious and inte-
rested) devote their studies to the treatment of those complaints ge-
nerated by imprudence and the ebullition of the passions at an un.
guarded moment: " The strength of a nation consists in the health
of the people ;" but it is melancholy. to reflect on the daily sacrifice
to the ignorant and unfeeling empyncism, and to counteract, as far
as possible, its further ravages, we offer to suffering humanity the
result of our own experience in the various disea. es of Debility. The
unwary victim of solitary vice (early acquired at school, before rea-
son has asserted her right over the mind), will, in contemplating his
powerless state, become susceptible of enlivening sensations, in know-
ing that the most complicated state of exhaustion may be roused
into manly energy. Intense study—immoderate anxiety—long resi-
dence in tropical Climes, and many other causes, will frequently de.
range the Nervous System; in such cases we can hold out an as.
surance of re-animation, by a treatment which has long answered
the sanguine hopes of Patients of both sexes.
That bane to human happiness, SYPHILIS, can now be treated
fearlessly, the improved state of Medical Science having divested its
antidote of those distressing properties that so long rendered its ex-
hib.ti 1,1 uncer'ain and harrassing Some peculiarities incidental to
the so.ter sex have not escaped our attention ; in which mildness,
combined with efficacy, has superseded the means usually adopted.
In fine, our system is unique, peculiarly energetic, and eminently
successful:

Daily attendance is given for personal consultation; and letters
from the country are immediately answered; these must contain a
remittance for Advice and Medicines, which can be forwarded to
y part of the world, however distant.
