AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVIDENT SOCIETY. Established 1849. FOR MUTUAL LIFE ASSURANCE, &c, •without peesonal liability. Pbincipal Office : New Pitt-steeet, 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 accutnmulated assets were 602,646 Showing a clear Surplus of ... £149,646 There is 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. 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. 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 Cask, 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 ■ ■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 AUSTEALIAN MUTUAL PROVI DENT SOCIETY. 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. Is a Life 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 through the ordeals to which all ne"W Life Offices are exposed. Having completed the Twenty-first Year of its exis tence, it has achieved a position of Stability aud Aflluence unexampled in tho 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 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, NeITHEE 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.

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 giyes the same results in cases of coughs, catarrhs, hooping-coughs, and influenza. In comparing this syrup with the other sold under the same 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. NEEVOUB HEAD-ACHE AND NEURAL GIA. GUAEANA.

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, anajmia, general debility and poorness of the blood, and agrees especially with the most delicate stomachs. ASTHMA. Geimauit and Co.'s Indian Cigaeettes of CannabiS Indica. —Eecent experiments in France, England, aasl Germany have proved that these cigarettes are a sovereign remedy for the aiove distressing affections, especially when belladona, stramonium, and opium have , failed to give relief.

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 SYEUP for children teething, which we believe a most invaluable preparation, not only for children teething, but in all cases of dysentery or diarrhcea. We speak of what we 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 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 Bhould 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 BROJNCHIAL TEOCHES" Cure Cough, Cold, Hoarseness and Influenza j Irritation or Soreness of the Throat; relieve the hacking cough in Consumption, Bronchitis, Hooping Cough, Asthma, Catarrh ; clear and strengthen the voice of Singers j indispensable &S S/ablic Speakers.
