ssoDmck.s Stomach Biat-r-.

Some time ago, DIR. Roback, of Cincin-
natl. through his agent in this place, j. A.
Maxwell, Esq, placed in our hands a bottle
of his Stomach Bitters, designed for dys-
pepsia, to give to:e to the stomach, as Il
preventive against the bilious complaints
incident TO the Western country and, up
on using it. we regard it us second to none
in America or abroad. To he able to state
confidently that the B;tters are i certain
cure for dyspepsia and like diseases, is
to thu proprietor a source of unalloycd
pleasure. 1t removes all morbid matter
from the stomach, purifies the blood, i'm
parts renewed vitality to the nervous s,ys-
tenn, giving it that tone and energy SO indis-
pensable for the reservation of health. The
numerous acknowledgements of its superior
excellence and bencficcnt results, have as
sured the proprietor that it can not but
prove a great cure to the afflicted, and ini-
part vitality To the through system. We
advise those who Use bitters, to use none
but Roback's, which can be obtained ut j.

POLICIES.


The Company is purely mutual, the
stockholders receiving on their invest
ment only the interest it earns. All
its policies are non-forfeitable, and five
and ten payment contracts have Il pro
rata value after one annual payment.
Revisionary Dividends are also non
forfeitable from the date of declara-
ton, independent of the fate OF the
original policy.
One item in its late report is signi-
ficant OF the reality of its n~on-forleit-
ing feature, viz: Its disbursements
on account of surrendered and forfeit
ed policies to the amount of $751;
49,, 53, showing that the gains which
result from the misiortunes of its
members are not such as the St. Louis
Mutual prefers TO seek.
A few facts bearing with great
force on its increase of wealth are
worthy of mention.
/. Notwithstanding the cost of
opening up and establishing agencies
in several new fields the past year,
its rate of expense is less than the
average of American Companies.
2. Its cash investments realized
the last year all average of nine per
cent. interest.

These features, in copsiderationaiss
of another fact, viz that all Dividends
are declared on the contribution plan ;
secure to the insured two important re-
suits. Ntfas B 4
FIRST. Absolute certainty that every
obligation will be faithfully paid as it
natures. T..
Second. Constantly increasing divi-
dends, which on policies Il few years
old, render the additions immensely
large. %.
Though dividends may be smaller
than in some other Companies during
the first years of a Policy, yet in later
a they became much larger owing
to OH. higher standard of reserve adj
ded to our higher rate of interest. The
same cause thus guarantees to our
Policy-holders greater safety and great
or accumulations.
These special features in addition
to all the usual attractions adopted by
contemporary Companies, enable us to
compete successfully with them and
give the St. Louis Mutual Il strong
hold on popular favor.
The Company is conservative, in
that it holds firmly to the old land
marks and tried standards of security,
