The Periodical Valuation of the Policies effected with this Com-
pany on the Return System will be made after the 3d of July, 1847,
when an equitable proportion of the surplus premiums will be allotted
to the holder of every such Policy issued prior to that date.
The peculiar feature in the mode of division adopted by this Com-
pany consists in the admission of every member to participate in the
surplus he has assisted to create.
The general plan of the office comprises all the real advantages of
which the system of life assurance is susceptible. Insurances may
be effected on the.return or non-return systems ; in either case the
assured will be guaranteed from all liability of partnership, and will
possess the most ample security arising from the large accumulations
of the Company invested in the Government funds, and the unlimited
re,ponsibility of its proprietary.
Prospectuses and every information obtained on application at the
Offices as above, or to the Agents of the Company appointed in every

Persons suffering from chronic disease or irregularity of form, in
pregnancy, or old age, are insured at proportionate rates, the Asylum
being the Company which originally (in 1824) extended the benefits
of life insurance to such cases.
RENEWABLE TERM INSURANCES FOR HEALTHY LIVES.
The advantages of a whole life Policy arc secured by the smallest
necessary outlay in the first instance—the contract being continued
year by year, whatever the future health of the assured (after the
primary examination), at a stipulated slight increase of premium,
little exceeding the price of an ordinary term insurance, up to the
age of 70, when the rate remains stationary.
