The rules for the distribution of the'Surplus Funds or
Profits in this Society are framed on the most equitable prin-
ciples ; the Assured participating therein according to
amount and endurance of their respective Policies. By the
laws of the Society, regulating the distribution of the Sur-
plus Funds, Additions fall to be made to the Policies at each
period of Investigation, in proportion to the amount assured,
and the number of annual premiums previously paid; and a
Contingent Prospective Addition is also declared to meet the
case of persons dying between two periods of investigation,
such Contingent Prospective Addition being calculated in
proportion to the number of annual premiums paid during
the interval, not only on the Sum Assured, but also on the
Vested Additions previously declared. Parties dying within
five years after the date of their Assurances receive no Addi-
tions, any order previously made for Additions to such Poli-
cies becoming thereby vacated; but in the event of the par-
ties surviving the period of five years, the Additions previ-
ously declared take full effect from the date of the Policy.
The next Periodical Investigation takes place on the Ist of
January, 1846.
On application, Parties may convert their Bonus Additions
into an equivalent Deduction from their future annual Pre-
miums, or may receive the value of their Additions in ready
Money.
The Directors are empowered to grant Loans to Members,
on the security of their Policies, to the extent of nine-tenths
of their value at the time, provided such proportion of the
value shall not be less than £5O.

Intending Assurers may, from the above, satisfy them-
selves, that independently of this Society's large Accumula-
ted Fund and Annual revenue, and other advantages neces-
sarily arising from its long, steady, and extensive business,
the Principles on which it is Founded and Conducted are of
the most Equitable character, and such as hold out the
greatest inducements to parties now wishing to become con-
nected with it.

All information may be obtained on application at the Head
Office, or at any of the Society's Agencies.

The CORDIAL BALM of SYRIACUM is a gentle
stimulant and renovator of the impaired functions of life,
and is, therefore, calculated to afford decided relief to those
who have fallen into a state of chronic debility. In such
persons the appetite is generally defective, and the relish of
life is almost subdued ;,they are wanting in that activity of
mind and energy of conduct which their affairs require; and
partly from conscious weakness, partly from excessive appre-
hensions, are liable to sink despondently into a premature
grave. It is for these that Messrs. PERRY and Co.,
Surgeons, particularly designed their CORDIAL BALM of
SYRIACUM.
Whatever enriches the blood, without inflaming it ; what-
ever braces without stimulating too violently the nervous
system ; whatever frees and disburdens the viscera and other
important organs ; whatever resolves obstructions, and
throws off viscid humours ; whatever strengthens the general
habit, and brings back' the muscular fibres to their natural
and healthy tone; whatever is calculated to produce in a
considerable degree all or any of these effects, must be,
under certain modifications and restrictions, equally adapted
to every species of decay. Hence, though the Cordial Balm
of Syriacum makes a direct attack upon the many-headed
hydra in one quarter only, it will be found to apply indirectly
or collaterally, to almost every other; in short, the debility
of nature can be completely reinstated by this excellent me-
dicine, for its reanimating powers exceed almost credibility ;
its fine, rich, !stimulating balsamic stomachic qualities—its
purification of the blood—and, above all, the complete invi-
gorator of the nervous system, whereby the whole faculties
become restored to their proper power and functions, and
raised the fallen fabric of life is• c 1 up to beauty, consistency,
upon
and duration, n the ruins
of an emaciated and premature
decay, to sound and pristine health.
As nothing can be better adapted to help and nourish the
constitution, so there is nothing more generally acknow-
ledged to be peculiarly efficacious in all inward wastings,
loss of appetite, indigestion, depression of spirits, trembling
or shaking of the hands or limbs, obstinate cough, shortness
of breath, or consumptive habits. It possesses Wonderful

" I have ordered the use of your Antibilious Pills in affec-
tions of the stomach, attended with considerable derange-
ment of the functions of that important organ, and connected
with a torpid state of the liver and bowels, (for to this cause,
chiefly, may be attributed the various diseases of the body,
both local and constitutional,) and I have thus had frequent
opportunities of witnessing their beneficial effects. They
greatly influence the secretion of bile, and act with certainty
and in the most effectual manner on the alimentary organs,
without occasioning pain or irritation. I consider them a
most excellent family aperient medicine, and may be taken at
all times with perfect safety."
They are prepared by Mr. JAMES COCKLE, Surgeon Extra-
ordinary to Her Serene Highness the late LANDGRAVINE of
HESSE HOMBURG, and may be had of all respectable Medi-
cine Venders, in boxes, 2s. 9d., and 4s. 6d.
