The Additions made to the Life Policies granted by this
Csrporatien for the last seven years vary from 41 to 65 per
cent. on the premiums paid, and average 14 per cent. on the

BLAIR'S GOUTand RHEUMATIC PILLS
CASE FROM LUTON, BEDFORDSHIRE, COMMUNI-
CATED BY MR. PHILLIPS, CHEMIST AND Dauccasa.

TO MR. PROUT,II::9, STRAND, LONDON
Luton, Bedfordshire, Oct 19, 1841.
Sta,-1 feel desirous of expressing you the great benefit which I
have received from he use of lair's Gout and Rheumatic Pills, I
have for several years been afflicted with RheumAisra and Gout, the
attacks of which were excessively revere. During one of these pain-
ful visitations a kind friend presented me with a box of Blair's Pills,
from the use of which I found immediate relief, and very soon en-
tirely recovered. At a subsequent pe•ioi I was so severely attacked
that i thought it would be unwise to delay placing myself under me-
dical care. I did so; but not finding the relief which 1 expeeted, I
again became my own physicia At this time my legs and thighs
were swelled to a very great extent I immediately procu ed a box
of Blair's tills ft om Mr W. Phillips, your gent in thi, town, and after
taking wo doses 1 was free from pi.in, and the swelling subsided. I
now netve fail to use them whenever I am attacked by this painftil
malad, , and they invariably give me relief after one or t.o doses.
Several of my acquaintances use them, and experiew e the same be-
nefit. I trust you will insert this among your list of cases, as lam
anxious to bear witness io the efficacy of this excellent medicine.
am, Sir, yours, respectfully,

THE LATE ROBBERY OF thamoNns.—The reward,
of 4001.,which had been offered for the discovery of
the perpetrators of the extensive and singular robbery
of diamonds, to the amount of 9,0001., which was
committed in Covent Garden Theatre on the evening
of Wednesday, the sth instant, upon the person of a
foreign gentleman, is augmented to the sum of 1,0001.
The most strenuous exertions have been made by the
police to discover the perpetrators, but without effQct.
The general opinion of the police is, that they have
escaped with their valuable booty to the Continent.
An old man of Couse (Dordogne), who, notwith-
standing a great appearance of misery, bore the cha-
racter of being the possessor of money, committed
suicide a short time ago. lie disappeared suddenly,
.and a few days afterwards his body was taken up from
the bottom of the Dordogne, into which he had thrown
himself, with a hag containing- 10,000 francs round
his neck.--Galignani.
