the plan adopted by this Society; viz. joined to a secure
provision at death for inheritors of the Ass':red, the Society,
affords succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

rances which expire at Christmas must be renewed with-

11, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.
This Office unites the benefit of a mutual association with the
security of a Proprietary Company, and offers to the Assured
amongst others the following advantages :-
1. Credit until death, with privilege of payment at any time
previously, for one-half of the premiums for the first five years
upon Assurances for the whole of life ; a plan peculiarly advan-
tageous for securing Loans.
2. In Loan transactions, the lender secured against the risk
of the borrower going out, of Europe.
3. Sums assured to become payable at given ages, or death,

if previous.
4. Policies indefeasible ; fraud alone, not error, vitiating
them, and in else the Renewal Premium remain unpaid, the
Assurance maybe revived at any time within Six Months, upon
satisfactory proof of health, and payment of a trifling fine.
5. Officers in the Army and Navy, and persons residing
abroad, or proceeding to any part of the world, may be as-
sured upon equitable terms.
6. Immediate, Survivorship, and Deferred Annuities granted ;
and Endowments for Children; and every other mode of pro-
vision for families arranged.
All the rates will be found to have been computed as low as is
consistent with security.

Directors having been previously obtained. Credit of half the
Premiums for the first five years, allowed on Policies effected
for the whole term of Life. Parties who have been Assured
for five years will be allowed to borrow on the security of their
Polities, a sum equal to one-half the Premiums paid, less that
for the first year. Advances are made to parties Assured in
the Office, on real or undoubted Persoi al Security, for terms
not exceeding three years, repayable by instalments. Premiums
moderate. Participation in profits. Detailed Prospectuses

To Mr. W. Grivnstone, 39, Broad-street, Bloomsbury, London.
Sir,—l feel great pleasure in sending you the particulars of
my case, and the miraculous cure performed on myself, by
using your truly valuable Eye-Snuff. Sir, I am now in my
93d year, and a native of Holland, have been in this country
26 years. Whether from change of climate, or my advanced age,
1 cannot say, but for six years I have been deprived of sight,
therefore unable to follow my business. I do most sincerely
believe I should have remained in darkness and pain but for
the kind recommendation of a friend to use your invention. I
purchased a 2s. 4d. canister of your agent, Mr. Wilcockson, to-
bacconist, who knows the above to be facts, and will bear wit-
ness to my extraordinary recovery of that most inestimable
blessing of our life—" Perfect Sight"—l declare has proceeded
from the use of your Eye Snuff. For the sake of those suffer-
ing, you may make what use you please of this letter, Mr. Wil-
cockson and many others will vouch for its truth. I refer the
sufferers to this gentleman, being your Agent, and so well
known in Nottingham.
I am, Sir, your obliged servant,
