AUSTRALIAN MUTU >L PROVIDENT SOCIETY. Established 1849. FOR MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE, &c, ■without personal liability. Peincipal Ofmce : New Pitt-street, Sydney. THE special advantages offered by this well established Society are— 1. UNDOUBTED SECURITY.—On the 28th Feb., 1869, the ascertained total liability of the Society was £453,000 While the accummulated assets were 602,646 Showing a clear Surplus of ... £149,646 There ia over and above the Assurance Fund, the additional security of a Special Reserve Fund of £50,000. At the above date the Society had in hand equal to 70 per cent, of the entire Assurance Premiums received from members. 2. L RGE BONUSES.— Because being a purely Mutual Office the entire Profits belong to the Assured, anil have not to bp paid away in Dividends to Shareholders. The total Re versionary Bonuses declared by the Society amount to £485.000. Members of the Assurance Branch can ob tain the value of their Bonuses in Cash, or appropriate them to a reduction of future Premiums. Premiums may be paid Half-Yearly or Quarterly. Should a member die during the days of grace whilst the premium is unpaid, the Policy i will still be valid and effectual. PROFITS DIVIDED EVERY FIVE YEARS. LOANS, within the Surrender Value, are granted to Members on the Security of their Policies. SURRENDER VALUES are granted after a Policy has endured Three Years. Conditions for Residence and Voyaging Most Liberal. THE AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVI DENT SOCIETY. Is a purely Mutunl Life Office, Local to Australia and New Zealand, not confined to one Colony, but common to all ; Local to each Colony, but not restricted to any, and operating upon a broader basis, is therefore Safer than an Office confined within narrow limits. Is a T ife Office having a large number of Policy holders in New Zealand, and investing its Revenue from that place in the Public Securities of the Country. The Assets of tho Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64 000. Was established in 1849, and it has suc cessfully passed thi'ough the ordeals to which all new Life Offices are exposed. Having completed the Twenty-first Year of its exis tence, it has achieved a position of Stability aud Affluence unexampled in the history of Life Offices. Its Accumulated and Invested Fund ei oeeds £700,000 Its Income is over ... 200,000 a year. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO ITS MEMBERS. From the magnitude of its resources it is enabled to declare LARGE BONUSES. The sources of profit are increased by the high rate of interest obtained on the Invested Funds, also by the difference between the margin provided for Expenses, and the low rate of expenditure actually incurred by the Society, an advantage incidental to a large Business, Neither of which can Exist in a New Office. The Annual revenue was increased by £32,236 from New Assurances effected in the past year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank witli the First-class Assurance Insti tutions of the United Kingdom. EXAMPLES OF BONUS. The following examples show the total Bonus Additions to the Policies of £1000, under Table A, up to 28th February, 1860 :— hi g 8 £a gciaja C £2 •" o =->21«2 .S-§ .2-§ ■So cs-3 d- %< g-«! *< ~< s, §| || p II * si si si £J 20 £1010 16 4 £395 9 1 £101 11 3 £45 13 6 35 1190 4 6 473 15 7 199 4 7 51 4 1 39 1285 16 6 503 18 9 214 6 3 49 11 11 42 1245 9 0 546 5 8 227 8 2 51 18 1 50 1347 910 626' 7 4 272 18 73 19 1 Forms of Proposal and every information may be obtained on application to MR.

It cures chlorosis, pains in the stomach, difficult digestion, dismenorrhea, antemia, general debility and poorness of the blood, aud agrees especially with the most delicate stomachs. ASTHMA.

Mrs. Winslow, an old and experienced nurse, has devoted herself for more than thirty years exclusively to the cure of children. ;-he has a SOOTHING SYRUP for children teething, which we believe a most invaluable preparation, not only for children teething, but in all cases of dysentery or diai'rhoea. We speak ot what avo know when we say that thie Soothing Syrup acts like a perfect charm in the above cases. We have witnessed the most satisfactory and pleasing results from the use of it upou suffering infants aud children in a great variety of cases. It gives universal satis faction, is perfectly safe to the feeblest infant, and pleasant to the taste. We sincerely believe thab the mother who has a child suffer ing from any of the above complaints, and neglects to provide this medicine for its relief and cure, is depriving the little sufferer of the remedy of all the world best calculated to give it rest and restore it to health. It is said that one-fourtb the children born die under five years of age. As the teething period is the most critical time, every mother should bo prepared to act as nurse and physician ; and no ruoother should be without Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, which is perfectly safe in all cases, and may be had of any medicine dealer.
