At the above dnte the Society had in hand equal to 70 per cent, of the. entire Assurance Premiums received from members. 2. LARGE BONUSES.—Because being a purely Mutual Office the entire Profits belong to the Assured, and have not to be paid away in Dividends to Shareholders.

Is a purely Mutual Life Office, Local to Australia and New Zealand, not confined to ono 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 I ife Office having a large number of Policy holders in New Zealand, and investing its Revenue from that place in the Publio 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 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 ceeds ... ... £700,000 Its Income is over ... 200,000 a year. THE PROFITS BELONG EXCLUSIVELY TO lIS 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, Neitheb 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 with the First-class Assurance Insti tutions of the United Kingdom.

WINSLOW'S SOOTHING SYRUP. Mrs. Winslow, an old and experienced nurse, has devoted herself for more than thirty years exclusively to the cure of children, i-he has a SOOIHING 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 ol what we know when we say that thio Soothing Syrup acts like a perfect charm in tho 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 casc3. 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 abovo 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.
