Insurance. NORWICH UNION LIFE INSURANCE SOCIETY, Empowered by special Acts of Parliament, and by Royal Charter in the reign of Queen Anne, to undertake j all business connected with the Life Assuranco, IS A PURELY MUTUAL.-.OFFTOE. The Norwich Union Life Society has no distinct body of proprietors ; the insurers at largo are the recipients of the savings of the institution : the premiums paid, being in fact only deposits, revert to those who con tribute them. SETTLEMENT POLICIES. To meet, one of the greatest wants of the day the Norwich Union issues Policies in the nature of settle ment, whereby a man in solvent circumstances, pro vided the matter is bond .Me, may secure, without the risk of hankruptcy, a certain and direct pro vision for his family. RESOURCES. Irrespective of the immense annual revenue of this Society, gradually and surely on the increase, it pos sesses a Reserve Fund of £2,300,000 and upwards, available for its requirements. 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 j although apparently higher than some offices, assurers i 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 lias proved to be secure against all chances. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of- three years standing, or loans granted on security op same. f FOREIGN TRAVEL ! Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked i vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. In this office it is anticipated that persons entering at 90 will be relieved from further premiums at 44 40 „ „ ~ 00 60 „ „ „ 00 Medical Fees are paid by the Company, and there are no ohargesfor Stamps, Policies, &o. One-half the first five years' premiums may remain unpaid upon whole Life Policies. T. B.

TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. II hat 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 this patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—nervous ness IS AX UNNATURAL CONDITION OJP THE NERVOUS system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and lo;sof 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 heart beats 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 and undecided, the tates vitiated, the imagination broods iipon 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 nccrtaily strange, but not the less true, that perfectly sane persons in the prime of life, with linn 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. Why is this? What cause has operated to change the cheerful, 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 tile 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.
