RATES 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 otliees, 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.

TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. What is Nervousness?— Various answers might be given to this question, according to the constitution and knowledge of the individual. Strong healthy persons, whether medically educated or not, generally regard nevousness as more or less an " imaginary complaint;" it is sometimes only believed to be real when the patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—NERVOUS NESS IS AX UNNATURAL CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strength ; but in most cases there is in the earlier stages of the disorder no outward sign of weak- # ness. The sufferers are found in both sexes; they often have the bloom of health upon their cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to them has no charms, for they feel that they cannot enjoy it. Without intending it, they annoy other people about the merest trifles ; if they encounter some person unexpectedly they feel confused, afraid, and alarmed: the heartbeats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and the whole frame at times experiences a complete tremulousness. The intellect also is sometimes clouded, the memory fails, the judgment becomes indistinct, the will capricious an I undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, the ordinary duties of life become burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. A Strange Spectacle.— -It is ncertaily strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with firm step and healthy countenance, may occasionally be met with, who, in spite of possessing all the advantages of education, religion, ample means, and kind friends, nevertheless are victims of the nervousness above described; unhappy themselves, they render other people unhappy. AVhy is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerlul, active, obliging, unsuspecting, and uncomplaining youth into the unhappy, drowsy, listless, suspicious, and gloomy misanthrope ? Many cases, or one cause only, may operate to produce this sad state : the cause may be either mental or physical, or both combined. Attempts to cure nervousness by means of ordinary tonics have so frequently proved fruitless that the 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 do, what is to be done ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the following Work :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility: Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health. Applications for a copy of the above work mustoe accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other tamps, also a properly directed envelope.
