Various enquiries having of late been made as to whether thi
society is in the practice of allowing Commission to Solicitor
and others who may be the mecns of procuring business, th
Directors take this opportunitu of expressing their disapprova
of tpe:system, and of intimating that
_except to the recognises

and dull, appointed Local Agents of the SCsciety, no allowance
of thehind is ever made, the effect of ang such misapplication
of the Funds of a Mutual Assurance ',Society being to withdraw
from its Members a portion or A, profits which ought to be
reserved for their benefit, and for their benefit alone.

Prospectuses, Forms of Proposal, Tables of Rates, and every
information, obtained at the Head Office, or at any of the So-

gPORTANT TO THE PUBLIC.
BEST MEDICINE IN THE WORLD.

DARR9S LIFE PILLS.
A mild, safe, and most effectual cure of Indigestion,
Bilious, Liver, and Stomach Complaints, Sick Head-ache, Cos-
tiveness, &c. &c. Their composition is truly excellent ; they
are compounded entirely of vegetable products, freed from all
irritating and deleterious matters, which render their opera-
tion mild and agreeable: they do not require the least confine-
ment or alteration of diet, and may be taken by the invalid
with perfect safety; as an occasional dose in all nervous and
debilitated cases, recoveries fi om . protracted diseases, &c.,
they will be found highly valuable, imparting vigour and tone
to the system when emaciated by disease.

First--They increase the strength, whilst most other dttedi-
ines have a weakening effect upon the system. Let any one
lake from three to four or six pills every twenty-four hours,
and, instead of having weakened, they will be found to have
revived the animal spirits, and to have imparted a lasting
strength to the body.

Secondly—In their operation they go direct to the disease-
After you have taken six or twelve pills you will experience
their effect ; the disease upon you will become less and less by
every dose you take ; and if you will persevere in regularly
taking from three to six pills every day, your disease will
speedily be entirely removed from the system.
Thirdly—They are found, after giving them a fair trial for a
few weeks, to possess the most astonishing and invigorating
properties, and they will overcome all obstinate complaints,
and restore sound health; there is a return of good appetite
shortly from the beginning of their :use; whilst their mildness
as a purgative is a r'esideratum greatly required by the weak
and delicate, particularly where violent purging is acknow-
ledged to be injurious instead of beneficial.
TO PERSONS GOING ABROAD.

These Pills are particularly recommended to all persons
going abroad, and subjecting themselves to great change of
climate. OFFICERS OF THE ARMY AND NAVY, MISSIONA-
RIES, EMIGRANTS, &C., will find them an invaluable appen-
dage to their medicine chests, as a preventive of the attacks of
those diseases so prevalent in our Colonies, especially in the
West Indies, where a small box recently sold for Ws. In Ame-
rica also the fame is getting known, and its virtues duly appre-
ciated, causing an immense demand for it; and there is no
country or port in the world where it will not speedily become
an article of extensive traffic and general utility, 83 it may be
had recourse to in all cases of sickness, with confidence in its
simplicity, and in its power to produce relief.
