LIFE ASSURANCE. 
T)EPORT of the SELECT COMMITTEE of the 
It HOUSE of COMMONS, and the DEPOSIT SYSTEM. The new 
and Important feature of Life Assurance adopted by the DEPOSIT 
and GENERAL LIKE ASSURANCE COMPANY. 
The following is an extract from the Report of the Select Com- 
mittee : — 
“ The objects which persons have in view In effecting Insurances upon 
their lives, are generally of an important and solemn character, viz., 
the provision for widows and orphans after the death of their natural 
protectors; unlike any ordinary transaction of trade, a contract once 
entered into cannot bo discharged or abandoned, if doubts of the 
stability of an office should arise, without a sacrifice of premiums paid 
in past years, and the necessity of effecting new policies in other offices 
at increased rates of premium, owing to the greater age of the assured; 
persons ore thus placed in the anxious and unhappy dilemma of being 
compelled to persevere in paying premiums from year to year, with somo 
suspicion and doubt as to the ultimate advantage of doing so, or of in- 
curring the serious loss which, under the most favourable circumstances, 
must attend the abandonment or sale of a policy." 
On the deposit system a person is not “compelled" to pay, from 
“ year to year," and he does not, if desirous of “abandoning" his 
policy, Incur any “serious loss," but, on the contrary, ho may pay 
such amounts, and at such times, as he may find money convenient; 
ho can stop paying whenever ho pleases, and ho can withdraw the 
whole or part of his premiums. If the whole be withdrawn the policy 
is cancelled; if part only, then the value of the policy Is diminished by 
the assured value of the part withdrawn. 
A. B., aged 20, opens a deposit policy with a paymentot 5!., which it 
will be seen he increases from time to time, and occasionally diminishes

AN EXTRAORDINARY AND RAPIDlCDRE OF ERYSIPELAS IN THE LEG, AFTER 
MEDICAL AID HAD FAILED. 
Copy Of a Letter from Mrs. Elizabeth Yeates, of the Post-office. 
Aldwick-road, near Bognor, Sussex dated January 12th, 18oJ. 
TO PROFESSOR HOLLOWAY. 
Sm,— I suffered for a considerable period from a severe attack of 
Erysipelas, which at length settled in my leg, and resisted all medical 
treatment. My sufferings were very great, and I quite despaired of 
any permanent amendment, when I was advised to have recourse to 
your Ointment and Pills. I did so without delay, and am ham .to 
say tho result was eminently successful, for they effected a radical 
cure ot my leg. and restored, me to the enjoyment of health. I shall 
ever speak with the utmost confidence of your medicines, and have 
recommended them to others in this neighbourhood similarly afflicted, 
who derived equal benefit. 
I am, Sir, your obliged and faithful Servant, 
(Signed) Elizabeth Yeates.

A NEW DisCOVEItY IN TEETH': ' 
MR. HOWARD, Surgeon-Dentist, 52, Fleet-street, 
1V1 has introduced an entirely New Description of ARTIF IClAL 
TEETH, fixed without springs, wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly 
resemble the natural teeth, as not to be distinguished ftmn the orl bi“ al » 
by the closest observer; they will never change coloiir or dewy, and 
will bo found superior to any teeth ever before used Tblsmethoddoes 
not require the extraction of roots, or any pa nful 
support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore 
articulation and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and use- 
ful in mastication. 62, FLEET-STREET. — At home from 1 till 5. 
CJOUND und WHITE TEETH are not only in- 
O dispensably requisite to a pleasing exterior in both sexes, but 
they are peculiarly appreciated through life as highly conducive to 
health nnd longevity. Among the various preparations offered 
lor the pui-pose, ROWLAND'S ODONTO, or PEARL DENTRIFICE, 
stands unrivalled in its capability of embellishing, purifying, and 
preserving the teetli to the latest period of life. It will be found to 
eradicate all tartar and concretions, and impart a pcarl-llke whiteness 
to the enamelled surface, remove spots of incipient decay, render the 
gums firm nnd red, and thus fix tho teetli firmly In the|r sockets , 
and from Its aromatic influence impart sweetness and purity to the 
breath. Its truly efficient aud fragrant aromatic properties have 
obtained its selection by the Queen, the Court, and Royul tain l y 
of Great Britain, and the Sovereigns and Nobility throughout Euiope.
