penses to receipts OF the principal Life 1nsu-
rauceCompanies In this country, as shown by

bracing the whole amount rf business done by

$40 Sc. IL will be observed that the ratio of
expenses to receipts of the Connecticut Mutual
is much lower than that of asy other Compa-
ny, and Its assets ale much larger. The re-
port goes on to show that 1t issued more pol
icies during the year by lleb than any other
company, and by consequence that it's distrib-
utable fund by way of dividends to policy
holders is much larger. This fact 10 proved
by the actual dividing Of so per cent. on the

AeiaaEs Worm Syyup.-If any one wants
to learn OF the virtues of this celebrated syrup
for removing worms from children let them
inquire Of Mr.. Sawdou, a butcher at Newark,
Delaware. He praises it loudlys could get
any number Of certificates for IL; could Gil this
whole newspaper, but that would raise too
great demand for 1t, more than could sup
ply-a heavy retail business consuming all our |
time. However, intend to keep our custe- |
mers supplied with 1t, and they can use II |
with confidence on the most delicate infant. 1t |
is not one of those nau ,eous compounds that |
scken a child. II contains no mineral-en- |
trely vegetable. Give 1t a trial and IL It does |
not bring worms depend upon it the child has |
not got them. e. MoIKALL, Apothecary.
