IMPORTANT AND SALUTARY IMPROVEMENTS
have been introduced into the practice of Life Assurance by
this Company, and the following are sm.(' of its distinguishing
and important features, which have bi•en introduced after
mature deliberation. They will be most conveniently pointed
out by referring to Policies, as divided into two great Classes
—FAMILY PROVISION POLICIES, and INIONEY
TRANSACTION POLICIES.

FAMILY PROVISION POLIC:::S.— In the well-
founded belief that Life Assurance business is profitable, per-
sons making provisions for their families and contemplating a
long duration of time between the date of the Policy and the
claim to arise under it, generally prefer Assurances which may
carry with them a right to participate in the profits to be re-
alised by, the Company during the currency of their Policies.
By the Deed of Constitution of this Ciesupany, the participa-
ting Assured are entitled to the Whole of 'he Mutual Profits, as
if they had been Assured in a purel: Mutual Society ; tied
they have, at the same time, the seeurity not only of the funds
of the Company, arising from the accumulated premiums, but
also the proprietary funds and subscribed capital of the Com-
pany. To the Shareholders are alloted ONLY those profits
which are realised by the investment of eleir own paid capital,
and from the excess of the premiums derived from the non-
participating Assurances. This mode of Division and Profits,
so advantageous to the Assured of the Participating Class, is
adopted only by this Company.
HONE'} TRANSACTION POL acquain-
tacce with the records of the Courts of Lew and Equity, proves
that considerable changes were required in the practice and
rules of Life Offices, to render this class of Policies
valid and unimpeachable decements of security, which no
foreseen circumstances or future accidents could invalidate.
This Company has endeavoured, and tney think successfully,
to render their Policies as indefeasible and negotiable secu-
rities as possible, consistently with a due seoarti to the safety of
the contracting parties; and to effect this O'bject, the Company
has introduced the following clause into their Deed of Settle-
ment :
Clause 78.—" That every Policy issued by the Company
shall be indefeasible and indisputable, and the fact of the
issuing of the same shall be conclusive evidence of its validity,
and it shall not be lawful for the Company to delay payment
ground the money assured thereby, on the grrn.d of any error, mis-
take, or omission, Isowever important, made by or on the part
of the person or persons effecting the same, and that on the
contrary, the amount receivable under the same shall be paid
at the time stipulated by the Policy, to the person entitled
thereto, as if no such error, mistake, or omission had been made
or discovered, unless the Polio!, shall have been obtained by
fraudulent misrepresentation.
In order to provide against the defeat of a Policy in the
hands of a Creditor, by the Debtor, whose Life is Assured,
leaving the country, and going beyond the prescribed limits,
the Company grant what they term WHOLE WORLD PO-
LICIES, whereby, on condition of receiving an extra premium,
varying in amount according to the circumstances of the ease,
but fixed and determined at the time of issuing the Policy,
the Debtor, on whose Life an Assurance has been effected, is
entitled to go to, or reside in any part of the world, without in.
validating the Assurance; by which means the Creditor's
claim is rendered certain.
INTEREST IN POLICIES.—The ordinary rule is, that
if a Creditor be paid his debt before the policy becomes a
claim, he loses the benefit of his Policy, and the premiums
paid become forfeited—this Conipany repudiates all such un-
fair advantages.
To enable a party to effect an Assurance at the LEAST
POSSIBLE EXPENSE, and to entitle him to discontinue it
at a less sacrifice than by any other plan, a seven years' Half-
premium system has been introduced.; and, upon comparing
the following scale with any other which has been devised for
reducing present payments, it will he seen how much more
economically a loan transaction can he fortified by this kind
of policy than by any other. The Half premium system pos-
sesses a further advantage over temporary Assurances, or those
for a Term of Years, from the Assured having the option of
continuing for Life the Policy which he way have procured for
a mere temporary purpose.

been pronounced by the most eminent of the Faculty to con-
tain a greater quantity of medicine than any other yet offered to
the public, and the concentration of the bicarbonate in it. and
S.'s FLUID MAGNESIA (without detriment to its purity )
to be much more considerable than in many other productions
of the kind.

The great advantage of this elegant preparation is recom-
mended in all cases of Bile, Acidities, Indigestion, Gout,
Gravel, and other Complaints of the Bladder, as the most sate,
easy, and effectual form in which Magnesia may, and, indeed.
the only one in which it ought to be, exhibited ; possessing all
the properties of the Magnesia now in general use, without
being liable, like it, to form dangerous concretions in the
bowels, it effectually cures Ileart4mrti, without injuring the
coats of the Stomach, and prevents the food of infants turning
sour, and in all cases it acts as an agreeable aperient.
N.B. With the Acidulated Syrup the FLUID MAGNESIA
forms the most delightful of Saline Draughts.
