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

UNIVERSAL LIFE ASSURANCE
.._ OFFICE,

1, KING WILLIAM-STREET. LONDON.

The Rates of this Office, founded on the most accurate ob-
servations of the duration of human life, are as moderate as is
consistent with perfect security.

One-fifth of the ascertained profits of the five preceding
years is divided between the policy-holders and shareholders ;
three-fourths to the former, and one-fourth to the latter. The
remaining four-fifths are set apart to enter into the average of
the succeeding years, and thus to provide against unforeseen
contingencies.
The first division of profits took place on the 13th of May,
IMO, when a reduction of 60 per cent. was declared on the
current annual premiums ~f all those policies entitled to parti-
cipation. The second division of profits was in May, 1841,
and the third in 1842, on both of which the large reduction of
60 per cent, was declared.
The following table will show the operation of the reduction
made by the Society .

This system of reduction in the premiums affords immediate
benefit to the Assured, er enables them to secure a consider-
able bonus by effecting a new policy.
Policies are granted in London, and by resident Committees
at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, on India risks, at very ad-
vantageous rates, calculated from extensive data and tables, ex-
clusively in the possession of this Society, to show the true
risk of life during residence in India, and after retirement from
foreign service. By order of the Board,

OOLLIS' LADIES' BREAST OINTMENT.
N_J This Ointment is now confidently recommended to the
public as an infallible remedy for all diseases of the Breast,
occasioned by Cold, or the Milk coring in the Breast. It is
a certain cure for Whitlows, Abcess, Scalds, Burns, Bad Legs,
and all cutaneous diseases; and in consequence of the now
great demand for the Ointment, the Proprietor is induced to
lay it before the public—not as a cure for " all the ills that
flesh is heir to," but in cases as above mentioned it is with the
greatest confidence recommended to the public.
