llnstitution is so constituted as to afford the benefits of
1 Life Assurance in their fullest extent to Policy holders,
and to present greater facilities and accommodation than can

following improvement on the system usually adopted are re-
commended to the attention of the Public.
An ample subscribed capital, invested in such a manner as
always to _be immediately available when the claims by deaths
arise.

use of this Institution, from authentic and complete data, and
(with two exceptions only) presenting lower rates of premium
than any hitherto offered.

able plan, peculiarly advantageous in cases where Assurances
are effected by way of securing loans or debts, a less immediate
payment being required on a policy for the whole term of life
than in any other office; and the holder having the option of
paying a periodically increasing rate, or of having the sum as-
stated diminished according to an equitable scale of reduction.
References to medical attendants not required when the state
of health is unexcep►ionable; but whenever references are re-
quired, the medical attendant of the party consulted on behalf
and at the expense of the Company.
Policies effected by persons on their own lives not rendered
void in case of death by duelling, or the hands of justice. In the
event of suicide, if the policy be assigned to a bona fide creditor,
the sum assured paid without deduction ; if not so assigned, the
full amount of premiums returned to the family of the assured.
Policies revived without the exaction of a Le within twelve
months, on the production of satisfactory evidence as to health,
and payment of interest on the premiums due.
