This Company has met with success beyond
all parallel in Life Insurance, and offers to the
Southern public Home Enterprise equal to any
and surpassed by none in existence.
Commenced active operations about Nov 1st
1867.
Assets 18th of Sept. 1869, 81, 500 0oo-now
much increased.
Policies issued, 5000.
1t has paid for losses of $31 200 and in every
instance waived the ninety days time and paid
at once
IL advises the payment of all cash premiums,
because then dividends will continually decrease
each next payment until nothing will be requr-
ed, and the policy may be source of income.
but it will allow one-half loan on life and iolnt
life policies. One-third loan on other participa-
ting policies
1t requires no notes for loans of the part of
premiums, but endorses the loan of its policies
until absorbed by dividends or policy is payable
1t has no restriction on residence or travel
All its policies are non -fOrfetable and the right
of parties guaranteed on the face of the policy, as
part of the contract
1t has the following feature which no other
company gives: The late war taught many the
penalty of being separated from the Home office
by having their part payment forfeited 1.-THE
Piedmont guards against this in her policies and
In event of separation from its office by any in
terventon guarantees TO such all the right of nom
Forfeiture paid up policy, surrender value and
reinstatement as though there had been no inter-
vening cause.
It's investments are made for benefit of South
ern advancement.
1t brings money to our people-keeps money
with our people. Then why should they contin-
ue to impoverish themselves by sending money
off which can as easily-as safely-as probably
be spent at home?
The Piedmont asks all who wish to insure to
compare its ates-tarmls-progress with any
company, and feels confident its merits will equal
any other company

NKTORDS OF CAUTEOM.-If we were to
w tell our readers that the wells and springs
throughout the country hsd been poisoned and
that we had discovered an antidote to its effects
not one ofthem that would not gladly avail tn en-
selves of our discovery, with the hope ofavertng
death. FIVE were to tell them that We had dis
covered a mine of treasure, enough for them and
US. and we were prepared to share with them,
not one would refuse our aid to fortune. But as
health is more valuable than riches, how much
more gratifed should they be to learn that a
great panacea had been compounded Of purely
vegetable matter, and that It's curative powers
were little less certain than light and darkness
Need we give you instances? IF so, call on the
proprietor Of BAKERS BITTERS and examine
the myriads of certificates, from all sections of
the South, of persons who have been cured Of
dyspepsia by its all-healing properties. Among
them you will see the vouchers of the old and
young, male and female, extoiling this BITTERs
to the skies, and blessing Providence for its cura-
tive powers. But its virtues are not confined to
dyspepsia. Nervous headaches yield readily to
its powers. Torpid livers become quickened and
made active by its influence. Sour stomachs are
made healthy by its neutraZiDg effects. In
digestion disappears when it enters the organs of
life. Diarrh@a cannot resist its tonic powers
And cholera itself, when met with these BIT
TIERS, is promptly disarmed and becomes per-
fectly harmless, as thousands ofpersons have GER
tilted, who used it in 1915 aud IS, when that
scourge was devastating the country. BAKERS
BITTERS will not remedy all the ills of human
lty, but such diseases as are caused by the stom-
ach and bowels readily yield to its strengthening
effects and are speedily driven from the system.
All who need tonic should try it and become
their own judges its virtues.
