RA.TES OF PREMIUM Are framed as low as are consistent with the due safety of the Society, and its Actuary is calculated to be one of the most competent authorities in England, the Court of Chancery having recently had to avail themselves of his experience in these matters ; and although apparently higher than some offices, assurers should not loose sight of the fact that they receive it back, either in bonuses or in addition to sums assured, and in electing to insure in this Society they also avail themselves of the experience and safety of a concern that time has proved to be secure against all chances.

Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. What \s Nervousness ?— Various answers might bt given to this question, according to the constitutor and knowledge of the individual. Strong health] persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard aevousness as more or less an "imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be rea when the patient is either dying or dead. The bes answer to the question, probably, is this— nervous NESS IS AN UNNATURAL CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS SYSTEM. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesl: and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in tht earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak ness. The sufferers are'found in both sexes; the} often have, the bloom of health upon their cheek they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence t( them has no charms, for they feel that they cannoi ■enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy othei people about the merest trifles ; if they encountei some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid and alarmed: the heart beats violently ; the hanc shakes when writing, and the whole frame at time: experiences a complete tremiilousuess. ' The intelleei also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, thi judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious anc undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination brood; upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either verj low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life becoaii burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. | A Strange Spectacle.—lt is certainly strange, but no' 1 the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the primt of life, with linn step and healthy countenance, niaj occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessini all the advantages of education, religion.'ample means and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of tin nervousness above described; unhappy themselves I they render other people unhappy. Why is this What cause has operated to change the cheertul. active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, tlr,o\vsy, listless, suspicious and gloomy misanthrope ? Many cases, or one caust only, may operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure nercousneatt by means of ordinal} tonics have so frequently' proved fruitless that tht leading physicians now for the most part recommend hygenic means, such as exercise in the open air, regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction change of air and scene, as in travelling. If all these fail, as they often <10, what is to be done ? The. 'An&wai will be found by carefully perusing the following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. id. Nervous Debility : Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work must he accompanied by tlie amount in New Zealand or otliei stamps, also a properly directed envelope.
