This company has also complied With the

PERPETUAL CHARTER, and commenced bust
ness on q capital of two hundred thousand
dollars; the whole of which has been Invested

Those who contemplate making life Msur-
ances, should, first of all, satisfy themselves
of the character and stability of the Compsny

in the stability and permanent prosperity Of a
Company, in the security and certainty that it
will fulfill it's engagements, is of iIcomparaz

that may be made by paying inadequate pre-

The principle of Life Insurance is based on
sound mathematical calculations, and admits
of no variation. Ultimate security, being the
primary object to be obtained, this Company
will do business on the lowest rates Of pre-

DIR. Roback's Success.

We have always been inclined to rcceiv.
with doubt the accounts of wonderful cures il
desperate cases, with which the proprietors Of
patent medicines are accustomed to garnisl
their advertisements, but the effects produced
by the Scandinavian Remedies of this distin.
guished Swede are so notorious, and so amply
verified by direct personal testimony, as to put
doubt and suspicion out of the question. The
cures, as reported by the patients themselves
comprehend nervous complaints, dyspepsia
bilious disorders, fits, rheumatism, and almost
every species of disease affecting the stomach
the skin, and the organs of respiration. I'm
der these circumstances we can have no objsc-
ton in giving such important facts publicity in
our columns. Hamlet says, "There is more
in Heaven and earth than is dreamed of in
your philosophy" and every day convinces us
that the science of medicine is not the exclu-
sive property of "the faculty" DR.. Roback
has acquired fame and fortune by his success
full treatment of disease, and his Blood Purifier
and Blood Pills are in general demand. See
Advertisement.

HoAo,oay's Pills, an extraordinary Rem.
edy for termination eff Blood to the Head
Henrietta Wright, Of Newburg, New
York, suffered most excessively for eight
years and half from termination of blood
to the head, so bad at times that she would
fall down in crossing room as if dead
She consulted three different physicians,
and studiously followed their advice,
which however failed to benefit her, and
her dissolution was hourly expected. AT
this time she tried Holloway's Pills which
quickly did their work, by removing from
the system ofthe noxious matter, carry
ing off the bad fluids, and left her in the
enjoyment of perfect health, yet all this
has been effected by Holloway's Pills.
