 study, loss of memory, delusions, vertigo, blood 

 to the head, exhaustirn, melancholy, ground- 

 less fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of 

 self-destruction, and many other complaints. 

 It is, moreover, the best food for inffuts and 

 invalids generally, as it never turns odd on 

 the weakest stomach, nor inter'eres 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, sraall-pox, and chicken or wind pox, 

 it renders all medicine superfluous by re- 

 moving all inflammatory and feverish symp- 

 toms.

LIFE DEPARTMENT. 



THIS CORPORATION has granted As- 

 surances on Lives for a Period exceeding One 

 Hundred and Thirty Years, having issued its 

 first Policy on the 7th June, 1721. 



Two-thirds, or 66 per cent, of the entire vtv- 

 fits, are given to the Assured. 



Policies may be opened under either of the 

 following plans, viz. 



At a low rate of premium, without partici- 

 pation in profits, or at a somewhat higher rate, 

 enMtling the Assured, either after the first five 

 years, to an annual abatement of premium for 

 the remainder of life, or, after payment of the 

 first premium to a participation in the ensuing 

 quinquennial Bonus. 



The abatement for the year 1855 on the 

 Annual Premiums of \ ersons who have been 

 assured under Series " 1831 " tor five years or 

 longer, is upwards of 33 per cent. 



The high character which this ancient Cor- 

 poration has maintained during nearly a 

 Century and a Half, secures to the public a 

 full and faithful declaration of profits. 



The Corporation bears the whole Expenses 

 OF Management, thus giving to the Assured, 

 in consequence of the protection afforded by- 

 its Corporate Fund, advantages equal to those 

 of any system ol Mutual Assurance. 



Premiums may be paid Yearly, Half-yearly, 

 or Quarterly. 



All Policies are issued free from Stamp Duty, 

 or from charge of any description whatever, 

 beyond the Premium . 



The attention of the Public is especially 

 called to the tfreat advantages offered to Ij^ 

 Assurers by the Legislature in its recent 

 Enactments, by which it will be found that, to 

 a defined extent. Life Premiums are not stjt- 

 Ject to Income Tax. 



The Fees of Medical Referees are paid by the 

 Corp .ration. 



A Policy may be effected for as small a stmi 

 as 201., and progressively increased up to SW., 

 without the necessity of a new Policy. 



Every facility will be given for the transfer 

 or exchange of Policies, or any other suitable 

 arrangement will be mdde for the convenience 

 of the Assured. 



Prospectuses and all other information may 

 be obtained by eitlier a written or personal 

 application to the Actuary, or to the Superin- 

 tendent of tlie West End Office.
