ADVANTAGES OF THIS INSTITUTION.
The whole of the Profits divided ANNUALLY among the
Members, after payment of five Annual Premiums.
An ample guaranteed Capital, in addition to the Fund conti-
nually accumulating from Premiums fully sufficient to afford
complete security to the Policy-Holders.
HALF CREDIT RATES OF PREMIUM.
The attention of ASSURERS is particularly directed to the
Half Credit Rates of Premium, by which means Assurances
may be effected, and loans for short periods secured with the
least possible present outlay, and at a less premium than for
short terms only, and with the option of paying up the arrears
and interest, and the difference between the two rates, thus
becoming-entitled to participate in the whole of the profit of
the institution.

Thus, for example—a person in the twenty-fifth year of his
age need only pay 18s. 9d. per cent. yearly for the first five
years, and afterwards by paying up the remaining half with
interest, and the difference between the above rates, he will be
entitled to share in the entire profits, which it is expected will
reduce the future payments to little more than half the original
Mutual rate. The GREAT BRITAIN is the only society in which
this very great accommodation is given to the Assured.
Transfers of Policies effected and registered (without charge)
at the Office.
Claims on Policies not subject to be litigated or disputed, ex-
cept with the sanction, in each case, of a General Meeting of the
Members, to be specially convened on the occasion.

Members Assured to the extent of .elOOO entitled (after pay-
ment of five Annual Premiums) to attend and vote at all General
Meetings, which will have the superintendence and control of
the funds and affairs of the Society.

SCARCITY OF FOOD!!!
A QUERY FOR FARMERS.
Who is the greater benefactor? He who makes his field pro-
duce an additional bushel of corn, or he who preserves from
destruction an equal amount of produce ?
It is a well-known fact, that great losses of Corn, Provisions,
&c. are annually occasioned by the ravages of Vermin and
noxious Insects, and at the present time it is especially impor-
tant to save as well as to multiply.
BUTLER'S VERMIN AND INSECT KILLER
is proved to be a most safe and effectual means of Destroying
Rats, Mice, Beetles, Bugs, Crickets, &c.,

THE PROOF,
Mr. Williams, Vicarage Farm, High Wycombe, writes that "he
has used it successfully in his Ricks, and can, therefore, recom-
after it to other farmers." Mr. Hornsby, of Odiham, Hants,
after once using it in a building infested with Rats, where he had
tried various means in vain, says, "By next morning the baits
were all eaten, and I have not seen a Rat about the place since !"
Mr. King, Druggist, Bath, says, " I can bear testimony to its
excellent properties for Rats, having tried it in my own house
with singular effect !" Mr. Ball, of Wycombe, whose bakehouse
s,varmed with black beetles and crickets, says, "They have now
nearly all disappeared I" Mr. Harwood, of Bristol, after trying
it once only, on board the brig Monmonth and the Seaman's
Chapel, which were overrun with rats and mice, writes, " I cannot
speak too highly of the Killer : the mice are all vanished. The
mystery is, what is become of them? for I can trace no signs of
them ; I have not been troubled with rats or mice since 1 ! 1"
though a month had then elapsed. And Mr. Fogg, Druggist,
Lewes, says, "In every instance where I have had an opportu-
nity of making the inquiry of purchasers, I have been assured
of its decided efficiency, and in proof of its public character. I
have sold a considerable quantity entirely through the recom-
mendation of those who have proved its value."
Sold in packets, 3d., 6d., and Is. each.

among the many hundreds of unsolicited testimonials, and will
speak for its decided efficacy.
To Mr. W. LAMBERT, Chemist, 20, Jermyn-street, Hay-
market, London.
Sir,—About four years since I caught a severe cold which ter
minuted in a violent Cough with Spitting of Blood ; I tried
every remedy which my friends recommended, without receiv-
ing any benefit ; last winter the Cough so much increased in
violence, and the spitting of blood became so frequent, and at-
tended with all the symptoms of a rapid consumption ; I con-
tinued in this dreadful state notwithstanding I had the advice
of some of the most eminent physicians, and gave up all hope
of recovering. Seeing in the newspapers some extraordinary
cures which your Asmathic Balsam had performed, as a last
resource I was induced to try its efficacy ; to my great astonish-
ment and delight, in less than a week, I perceived a wonderful
benefit, and by the time I had taken two of the 2s. 3d. bottles,
with gratitude I acknowledge, I was perfectly well.

" I remain, Sir, your obedient servant,
Kennington Cross, "ELIZABETH BROWN

" March, 1845."
Mrs. Mary Banks, of Caroline-street, Camden Town, was
cured of a violent Cough by taking four doses.

Street, Haymarket, London, in bottles at 13id., 2s. 3d., and.

sam," and do not be persuaded to take any other medicine
