The most rational motives to Life 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
aftbrds succour to the Assured himself (proportioned to pre-
vious payments) in the event of unforeseen reverses.

111Ut ANKRUPTCY IN HIGH LIFE.—The Son
of a Noble Lard having speculated largely in the late

Wh3lesale Warehousemen, whose stock has consequently been
seized and sold by a decision of the Court of Chancery.
BROOKS and CO., of the BOROUGH, were the first par-
ties called in on the occasion, and at once undertook the sale ;

their Warehouses in the Borough.
The amount of the Stock is 13,0001., the Drapery portion
of which is now ready, and will be sold at ruinous prices, with-
out reference to the cost, one of the Partners being present to
sanction any reduction that may be made.

VEAVER'S EMBROCATION for GOUT
RHEUMATISM, TIC DOLOREUX, &c.
Copy of a Letter addressed by Trevor Holland, Esq., Surin,
of Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire, on the 6th July last,
to the Editor of the Times :"

_ .
Sir,—l think it a duty I owe to the public to make known
the efficacy of a remedy which I met with accidentally, and
which has been of such wonderful benefit to myself. Some
months ago I met with a very severe accident, having dislo-
cated and fractured my ancle severely. From the great tender-
ness of the joint I was quite unable to walk, the limb con-
tinued very much swollen and adematons, and I suffered
dreadfully from severe attacks of spasms in the night, which
extended from the ancle to the leg, thigh, back, and to the
arms. Having exhausted every resource of relief which I and
my medical friends in the country could suggest, to no
purpose, I set out for London with the intention of con-
sulting Sir Benjamin Brodie or Mr. Liston—then to adopt sea-
bathing. By accident I met with Mr. Feaver, 16 Ludgate-hill,
who applied his Embrocation, and, to my great astonishment,
I had no spasm that night, nor have I had one since. The next
morning I came down stairs without my crutches, and was
able to walk, the swelling of the limb soon subsided, and I am
now rapidly recovering. Having for many years had an ex-
tensive medical practice in the county of Stafford, I know of
no medicinal compound possessing such wonderful efficacy.
In adding my testimony to Mr. Feaver's Embrocation, lam ac-
tuated by no other motive than gratitude to him, and a sincere
desire to make known his invaluable remedy to my fellow-suf-
ferers. Possessing, as I ever did, the strongest prejudice
against everything in the shape of quackery, 1 should be the
last man to uphold a system which, generally speaking, I know
to be nothing but a nefarious traffic and humbug.
" 1 am, your obedient servant, _

- - " TREVOR HOLLAND, Surgeon.
" Carmock, near Walsall, Staffordshire.

" P. S. At the various consultations held uppn any case, the
Surgeons and physicians (including myself) were decidedly of
opinion that the frequent violent attacks of spasms would ter-
minate in lock-jaw, but, as I have before stated, I have not
had the slightest symptoms of spasms since the first application
of this'extraordinary embrocation.—T. II."
This justly-celebrated remedy (which is equally efficacious
n .any of the above afflictions) may be obtained of, or through
any respectable wholesale or retail Chemist in Town or
Country, at the Depot, corner of Wellington-street, Strand ;
or from the Preprietor, Mr. Feaver, 16, Ludgate-bill, London.
