The most rational motives to -We Assurance are found in
the plan adopted by this Society ; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Ais=red, the Society
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) i the event of unforesem reverses.

STARCH.—BROWN and POLSON beg to in-
site the attention of laundresses and the public to their
PATENT POWDER STARCH; unequalled for strength,
colour, and purity. It gives a fine and glossy finish, does not
stick to the iron, and requires no boiling. The annexed certi-
ficate of that eminent chemist, Dr. Fyfe, will prove that it is
free of potatoe, and contains no deleterious ingredient.
" I hereby certify that I have submitted to chemical investi-
gation the starch manufactured by Messrs. Brown and Poison,
of Paisley, and that I have found it to be a pure article, coi,s-
quently free front any ingredient that would act injuriously
even on the finest fabric. From trials conducted with it under
my own superintendence, I have found that in starching it
goes farther than the best kinds of patent starch, that it gives
an equally fine finish, and that articles starched with it are not
liable to lose their stiffness. Having witnessed the process of
manufacturing the starch in all its stages, I am satisfi.d that
potatoe flour is not used in its manufacture.

" July 25, 1842."
Sold by all respectable oilmen and grocers, &c , in packages
of Alb., 41h., lib., and 41b.
Also, their IMPROVED ARROW-ROOT, warranted free
of Potato, proven by the most. competent judges to be equal in
all respects to the finest West Indian (as the annexed certifi-
cate from the celebrated Dr. Fyfe will show ), consequently as
well adapted as a lightsome and nutritious article of food for In-
valids and Infants ; and makes excellent Blanc Mange without
any admixture of Isinglass or Gelatine.
Sold by Chemists, Italian Warehousemen, and Grocers, in
half-pound and one pound packages, at 9d. per pound.
" Edinburgh, June 25,1842,
Brown and Poison's Improved Arrow Root, the manufacture
of which I have inspected, is prepared without any admixture of
Potato-flour. It possesses all the qualities of Wtst Indian Ar-
row Root, and therefore may be used as an equally wholesome
and nutritious article of food.
