 self-destruction, and many other complaints. 

 It is, moreover, the best food for infnts 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 Cadtion against the fearful 

 dangers of spurious imitations: — The Vice- 

 Chancellor Sir William Page Wood granted 

 an Injunction on March 10, 1H54. against 

 Alfred Hooper Nevill. for imitating "Du 

 Barry's Kevalenta Arabica Food."

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 pro- 

 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, 

 en'itling 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 Prtmiums of i ersons who have been 

 assured under Series " 1831 " tor five years or 

 longer, is upw ards 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 

 op Management, thus giving to the Assured, 

 in consequence of the protection afforded by 

 its Cm-porate Fund, advantages equal to those 

 of any system of Mutual Assurance. 



Premiums may be paid Yearly, Half-yearly, 

 or Quarterly. 



A It Policies are issued free from Stamp Duty, 

 or froTi charge of any description whatever, 

 beyond the Premium. 



The attention of the Public is especially 

 called to the //reat advantages offered to life 

 Assurers by the Legislature in its recent 

 Enactments, by which it will be found that, to 

 a defined extent. Life Premiums are not sub- 

 ject to Income Tax. 



The Fees of Medical Referees are paid by the 

 Corp ration. 



A Policy may be effected for as small a sum 

 as 201., and progressively increa.sed up to 50;., 

 without the neccf sity of a new Policy. 



Every facility will be given for the transfer 

 or exclian'-'e of Policies, or any other suitable 

 arrangement will be made for the convenience 

 of the Assured. 



Prospectuses and all other information may 

 be obtained by either a written or personal 

 app'ication to the Actuary, or to the Superin- 

 tendent of the West End OflSce.
