THE thirty-fifth testimonial in favour of HOL-
LAND'S BALSAM of SPRUCE, and second letter
from Lynn :
"Dear Sir—l am truly astonished at the effects I witnessed
on a poor man to whom I gave in the first instance the remains
of my last bottle of your most excellent Balsam of Spruce.
He had caught a most violent cold, accompanied with a pain
in the side, much fever, and shortness of breath ; indeed, so
distressing was his situation, as to be extremely painful to all
about him; his cough so incessant that it was expected lie
would burs•. a blood-vessel, and thus end his stifferings and his
life. It was at this juncture I took him the last bottle I had
of you, and directed them to give it a trial. I called to see
him two days after, and found him so wonderfully better, that
his family were exceedingly anxious he should go on with it ;
he was, in fact, comparatively comfortable; the cough now
only came on twice or thrice a-day, and then without that dis-
tension of the blood-vessels of the forehead and other alarming
symytoms ; the tightness of the chest was much relieved, and
the pain in the side gone. He has continued the Balsam ever
since (now a fortnight), is nearly well, and considers himself
much indebted to you for his recovery, and requests me to
write this.
" I find it is soldby my neighbour, Mr. Whittingham, as you
wrote, from whom I shall get it for the future ; and remain,
dear Sir, yours very truly, "J. MOORE.
" Lynn, March 18, 1841."

suffocation, sore throat, &c.

The following is the PROSPECTUS already published
Experience has established the valve and importance of Life
Assurance to all classes of the community; and the prosperity
attending the institutions of this nature, which have already
been founded. incontestibly proves the soundness of the princi-
ples upon which its calculations are based.
But the system of Life Assurance, however valuable to the
members of the community in general, as affording the means
of either entirely providin2, fur, or of greatly enlarging the re-
sources of their families after death, may yet be regarded as
more immediately and especially beneficial to those persons
who are wholly dependent upon their own exertions for sup.
port, or who have only a life-interest in the property they pos-
sess. It is valuable also, inasmuch as it enables individuals
with fixed incomes, (from whatever source derived, whether
from Government or other situations, or from pensions or an-
nuities for lives), to pOpetuate them to their representatives
—offers entire indemnity to creditors against loss by the demise
of debtors—secures the continuance of leases determinable upon
lives, and renewable by fine—attaches responsibility to personal
security, thereby assisting individuals to obtain such temporary
aid, by way of loan, as may be necessary for conducting their
business, or the fulfilment of their engagements—anticipating,
and altogether providing against the inconvenience and injury
often occasioned by the withdrawal of capital from business on
the death of a partner. In short,• it is available to persons in
every profession, trade, office, and circumstance; and, under
all the modifications, and constantly occurring varieties of con-
tingent interests, dependent upon the duration of life.
Nevertheless, strange to say, but very few persons have hi..
therto availed themselves of the inestimable benefits which Life
Assurance is so well adapted to bestow—their number being
only about 88,000 out of the vast population of the United
Kingdom. It is, therefore, evident that an ample field remains
open for the exertions of a new Company of a similar charac-
ter. Moreover, it must be evident that if such Company can,
irrespective of the advantages usually proffered by the Societies
already established, and without risk to the interests either of
the Proprietors or of the Assured, propose other benefits highly
useful and important to both, it must safely and successfully
enter into competition with the existing Institutions with full
ccr.fidence in the support of the public.
Of the large profits which have been derived by the Sh:tre-
nolders in some of the principal Assurance Companies, an idea
may be formed by the perusal of the following short Table,
which has been compiled from the most authentic sources;
and, from this, it must be manifest, that a Company which, in
addition to the-ordinary business of Life Assurance, embraces
also the business of a Loan Bank to the Assured, will, if ably
conducted, offer to the Capitalist a secure and productive in-
vestment, without trouble or the danger of pecuniary loss.
