ciety
:
lst.—The security of an ample Assurance Fund, besides
the subscribed Capital.

2dly.—For young and middle-aged lives the LOWEST
RATES OF PREMIUMS that entitle the assured to participate
in the profits.
3dly.—Three-fourths of the profits divided every fifth year
among those who have been Assured four years on the equal
scale of premiums. The bonus declared in 1834 averaged

awarded in 1839, on the average, is equal to £3l per cent. on
the premiums received during the last five years.

scale of rates, after the lapse of any number of years, to

ble to Assurers on the decreasing scale of rates.

duelling, or by the hands of justice, not void as respects the
interests of persons to whom they may have been legally
assigned.

ELLIS'S SPLENDID SODA WATER,
Significantly styled, " Boiling Water, Cold as Ice."
BETTER conceived in the emphatic eloquence of Lord
Byron :
" Ring for your valet, bid him quickly bring
Some Hock and SODA WATER, then you'll know
A pleasure worthy Xerxes, the great King :
For not the best sherbet sublimed with snow,
Nor the first sparkle of the desert spring,
Nor Burgundy, in all its sunset glow,
Can vie with draughts of Hock and SORA WATER."

Firm of LE DRAY and CO., London.

SCURVY in the GUMS EFFECTUALLY REMOVED
ARTIFIFICIAL TEETH SUPPLIED
WITHOUT WIRES, SPRINGS, OR CLAziPs.
LOOSE TEETH FASTENED.
And filling Decayed Teeth with Miner,

Ilarmoratum.

Moils. LE DRAY and CO., Surgeon-Dentists, respect
fully inform the Nobility, Gentry, and Inhabitants of Liver
pool and its vicinity, that they have opened an Establishment
permanently at No. 70, SEEL-STREET, eight doors from
Berry-street. They continue to fill up the cavities of De-
cayed Teeth with their Mineral Marmoratum, without the
least pain, heat, or pressure ; it is placed into the cavity in
an almost liquid state, and in a few seconds gets hard, pre-
venting and curing the Tooth-ache, arresting all further pro-
gress of decay, and rendering the operation of extraction
unnecessary. The Mineral not only converts a mere shell
into a sound and useful tooth, but, by completely stopping
up the cavity, prevents effectually that unpleasant taint of
the breath which invariably accompanies a decayed tooth.
Among the various disorders of the Teeth and Gums, there
are none more destructive in their effects, or more generally
prevalent, than Scurvy ; and it is well known that the loss
of Teeth arises more from this cause than any other. It
affects individuals of all ages and of all constitutions, and is
the primary cause of Tooth-ache and decay. To those so
affected, Mona. LE DRAY and Co. have to inform them,
that they can effectually remove this destructive complaint
by a single application, without the slightest pain.
Artificial and Natural Teeth, of surpassing beauty, fixed
from one to a complete set, without extracting the roots or
giving any pain, without springs, wires, or ligatures, an-
swering all the purposes of Mastication and Articulation,
remaining perfectly secure in their places, and may be taken
out and replaced by the wearer with the greatest facility,
at the following Paris charges :
A single Artificial Tooth
A complete Set
A complete Set of Natural Teeth, on fine
gold plate
An entire Set of Natural or Terro Metal-
lic Teeth, highly finished, in the first
style, with fine gold sockets, usually
charged 40 guineas
Loose Teeth fastened, arising either from age, disease, or
mercury, and deficiencies of palate effectually remedied.
Artificial Teeth out of repair, remodelled to fit the mouth,
old restored equal in beauty and durability to their original
data. Attendance from Nine till Seven, and on Sundays
&co Nine till Two.
