Persons assured according to these rates are allowed credit ( without security ) for half the amount of the first seven annual premiums , paying interest thereon of the rate of 5 per cent , per annum , with the option of paying off the principal at any time , or having the amount deducted from the sum assured when the policy becomes a claim . Policies may thus be effected at lower rates than are-generally required for the term of seven years only ; whilst the holders have the same security for the payment of their claims , whenever death may happen , as if they paid double the amount ; of premium which would be charged for assurances effected in the usual way . Increasing rates of premium on a new and remarkable plan , for securing loans or debts ; a less immediate payment being ' required on a policy for the whole term of life than in any other office . Policies revived , without the exaction of a fine , at any time within twelve months . A Board of Directors in attendance daily at Two o ' clock . Age of the Assured admitted in the Policy . Medical attendants remunerated in all cases for their reports . Extract from the Half Credit Rates of Premium : — Annual Premium required for an Assurance of £ 100 for the Whole Term of Life .

      THOUGHTS on INDIGESTION , &c . By JAMES COCKLE ,. Surgeon . " Ah ! in what perils is vain life engaged I WKaf-sUght neglects—what trivial faults ^ . Destroy the hardiest frame . " Disease has been designated , as truly as poetically ., the " sad heritage of humanity . '' We-are , in fact , both by our organization and our habits , alike subjected to . its blighting influence . Too frequently are we induced , through bur social position , to " press the poisoned chalice to our lips , " swallowing'with the lucious draught the germs of future suffering and . distress . There are , perhaps , no organs in the body whica suffer so much from frequent disturbance of their functions as those of digestion , and none in which the tone of the stomach . is sooner weakened . By the remarkable power of sympathy , morbid phenomena of the most diversified character are propagated throughout the endless chain of nervous communication , occasioning those peculiar symptoms so well understood by the dyspeptic sufferer . To those , therefore , who suffer from indigestion , bile , sick headache , acidity in the stomach and bowels , heartburn , flatulency , spasms , &c , COCKLli'S ANT . IBILIOUS PILLS will be found invaluable . May be had of all medicine venders , in boxes , at Is . ljd ., 2 a . 9 d ., and 4 s . 6 d . ; of whom also may be had COCKLE ' S INFLUENZA and COUGH LOZENGE , a most efficacious , safe , and ngreeable preparation for the relief and cure of influenza , colds , coughs , hoarseness , chronic bronchitis , asthma , &c , complaints which are so troublesome and peculiarly harassing at the present season . In boxes , at Is . l £ d . and 2 s . 9 d .

      CURES FOR THE UNCURED I HOLLOW AY'S OINTMENT . — An extraordinary Cuke of Scrofula or Kino ' s Evil . Extract of a Letter from Mr . J . IT . Alliday , 209 , Hig-l » -8 treet , Cheltenham , dated the 22 nd of January , 1850 . "To Professor Holloway . Sir , —My eldest son , when about three yenrs of age , was afflicted with a Glandular Swelling in the neck , which , after a short time , broke out into an Ulcer . An eminent medical man pronounced it as a very bad case of Scrofula , and prescribed for a considerable time without effect . The disease then for four years went on gradually increasing in virulence , when , besides the ulcer in the neck , another formed below the left knee , and a third under the eye , besides seven others on the left arm , with a tumour between the eyes , which was expected to break . During the whole of the time my suffering hoy had received the constant advice of the most celebrated medical Gentlemen at Cheltenham , besides being for several months at tlie General Hospital , where one of the Surgeons said that he would amputate the left arm , but that the blood was so impure that . If that limb were taken off , it would be then even impossible to subdue the disease . In this desperate state 1 determined' to give your Pills and Ointment a trial , and , after two months' perseverance in their use , the tumour gradually began to disappear , and the discharge from all the ulcers perceptibly demeaned , and at the expiration of eight months they were perfectly healed , mid the boy thoroughly restored to the blessings of health , . to th « astonishment of a large circle of acquaintances , who could testify to tho truth of this miraculous case . Threo yearn have now elapsed without any recurrence to the malady , and the boy is now as healthy as heart can wisli . Under these circumstances I consider that 1 should be truly ungrateful were I not to make youacquainted with this wonderful cure , effected by your medicines , after every other means had failed .
