Is a purely Mutual 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.

The Assets of tho Society comprise New Zealand Debentures to the value of £64 000. t, Was established in 1849, and it has suc cessfully passed through 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 ex 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 ,v.y-,.y. I/ARQ . E 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, Neitheb of which can Exist in a New •' Office. The Annual revenue was increased by £82,236 from New Assurances effected in the past year, a rate of progress which entitles it to rank with the First-class Assurance Insti tutions of the United' Kingdom. ■ii '.*'•■' EXAMPLES OF BONUS.

It is the best and most rational of all reme dies against consumption. Under its influence the cough abates, the night sweats cease, and the patient rapidly recovers health. It gives the same results in cases of coughs, catarrhs, hooping-coughs, and influenza. In comparing this syi up with the other sold under the some name, it will be easy to recognise the superiority of this preparation. Therefore, to avoid any substitution, please to require on the bottle the signature Grimault and Co. NERVOUB HEAD-ACHE AND NEURAL GIA. GUARANA.

It is the best remedy against the first stage of consumption, and it is the most powerful depurative known. DR. LERA'S SOLUBLE PHOSPHATE OF IRON. Clear as spring water and tasteless ; has the advantage over all ferruginous preparations of containing Iron and Phosphorus, which are the elements of blood. It cures chlorosis, pains in the stomach, difficult digestion, dismenorrhea, anaemia, general debility and poorness of the blood, and agrees especially with the most delicate stomachs. ASTHMA. Gbimault and Co.'s Indian Cigabettes of Cannabis Indica.—Recent experiments in France, England, and Germany have proved that these cigarettes are a sovereign remedy for the above distressing affections, especially when belladona, stramonium, and opium have failed to give relief. RIGAUD & CO.'S PERFUMERY. 45, RUE DE RICHELIEU, PARIS, Patronised by the French Court, and exten sively used in all fashionable circles.

Mrs. Winslow, an old and experienced nurse, has devoted herself for more than thirty years exclusively to the cure of children. She 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 diarrhoea. We speak of what we know when we say that thie Soothing Syrup act 3 like a perfect charm in the above cases. We have witnessed the most satisfactory and pleasing results from the use of it upon suffering infants and 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 that 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-fourth the children born die under five years of age. As the teething period is the most critical time, every mother should be prepared to act as nurse and physician; and no moother should be without Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup, which is perfectly safe in all cases, and may be had of any medicine dealer. "BBOWN'S BRONCHIAL TROCHES" Cure Cough, Cold, Hoarseness and Influenza; Irritation or Soreness of the Throat; relieve the hacking cough in Consumption, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, Asthma, Catarrh ; clear and strengthen the voice of Singers ; indispensable to Public Speakers.
