uncertainty of lii. in which, to acquire it.
1t is reliablc Based upon well determined laws OF
Nature, it has hitherto proved sure resource
1t Is easily obtained, being brought by its cheap
nsss within the means of almost every one, who has
good health.
1t adds to the security given by the possession OF
property already acquired by furnishing ready money
to settle the estate, at . time when money is most
needed.
1t contributes to longevity frequently, by giving
great relief from mental anxiety in time OF serious
sickness.
1t provides for the payment OF just debts, the pay
ment of which may now be cont ingsnt upon unccr-

An ''eadowm ,nt Poli-y" will protect a family dur

the insured in Old age, should he live to be old.
An Investment Of sir cents day will insure man
