DU BARRY'S DELICIOUS 

 REVAXENTA ARABICA FOOD 

 CURES indigestion (dyspepsia), constipation 

 and diarrhoea, dysentery, nervousness, bilious- 

 ness and liver complaints, flatulency, disten- 

 sion, acidity, heartburn, palpitation of the 

 heart, nervous headaches, deafness, noises in 

 the head and ears, pains in almost every part 

 of the body, tic douloureux, faoeache. chronic 

 inflammation, cancer and ulceration of the 

 stomach, pains at the pit of the stomach and 

 between the shoulders, erysipelas, eruptions of 

 the skin, boils and carbuncles, impurities and 

 poverty of the blood, scrofula, cough, asthma, 

 consumption, dropsy, rheumatism, gout, 

 nausea and sickness during pregnancy, after 

 eating, or at sea, low spirits, spasms, cramps, 

 epileptic fits, spleen, general debility, inquie- 

 tude, sleeplessness, involuntary blushing, pa- 

 ralysis, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for 

 study, loss of memory, delusions, vertigo, blood 

 to the head, exhaustion, melancholy, ground- 

 less fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of 

 self-destruction, and many other complaints. 

 It is, moreover, the best food for infants and 

 invalids generally, as it never turns acid on 

 the weakest stomach, nor interferes with a 

 good liberal diet, but imparts a healthy relish 

 for lunch and dinner, and restores the faculty 

 of digestion, and nervous and muscularenergy 

 to the most enfeebled. In whooping cough, 

 measles, small-pox, and chicken or wind pox, 

 it renders all medicine superfluous by re- 

 moving all inflammatory and feverish symp- 

 toms. 



Important Caution against the fearful 

 dangers of spurious imitations : — The Vice- 

 Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted 

 an Injunction on March 10, 1S54. against 

 Alfred Hooper Nevill. for imitating " Du 

 Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food."

A few out 0/ 50,000 Cures: 



Cure No. 62,422 : _ " I have suffered these 

 thirty-three years continually from diseased 

 lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangement, 

 deafness, singing in the ears, constipation, 

 debility, shortness of breath and cough ; and 

 during that period taken so much medicine, 

 that I can safely say I have laid out upwards 

 of a thousand pounds with the chemists and 

 doctors. I have actually worn out two medical 

 men during my ailments, without finding any 

 improvement in my health. Indeed I was in 

 utter despair, and never expected to get over 

 it, when I was fortunate enough to become 

 acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica ; 

 which. Heaven be praised, restored me to a 

 state of health which I long since despaired of 

 attaining. My lungs, liver, stomach, head, 

 and ears, are all right, my hearing perfect, and 

 my recovery is a marvel to all my acquaint- 

 ances. I am, respectfully,

The SCALE OF PREMIUMS adopted by 

 this OfBce will be foimd of a very moderate 

 character, but at the same time quite adequate 

 to the risk incurred, 



FOUR-FIFTHS, or 80 per cent, of the 

 Profits, are assigned to Policies every fifth 

 year, and may be applied to increase the sum 

 insured, to an immediate payment in cash, or 

 to the reduction and ultimate extinction of 

 future Premiums, 



ONE-THIRD of the Premium on Insnr- 

 ances of 500?. and upwards, for the whole term 

 of life, may remain as a debt upon the Policy, 

 to be paid off at convenience ; or the Directors 

 will lend sums of 60i, and upwards, on the 

 security of Policies effected with this Company 

 for the whole tjrm of life, when they have 

 acquired an adequate value. 



SECURITY. — Those who efffect Insurances 

 with this Company are protected by its Sub- 

 scribed Capital of 750,000?,, of which nearly 

 140,000?. is invested, from the risk incurred by 

 Members of Mutual Societies. 



The satisfactory financial condition of the 

 Company, exclusive of the Subscribed and In- 

 vested Capital, will be seen by the following 

 Statement : 

 On the 31st October, 185?, the sums 



Assured, including Bonus added, 



amounted to - - - - - £%^fXm 

 The Premium Fund to more than - 800,000 

 And the Annual Income from the 



same source, to - - - - 109,000 



Insurances, without participation in Profits, 

 may be eflected at reduced rates.
