Drummond M.acpheraon, Esq Agencies— Nelson-Messrs Morrison; Sclandera and Co This Company has been established as a purely New Zealand institution, with all its funds retained and invested in tho colony. It has a very large and in fluential body of shareholders distributed throughout the entire colony, who are themselves insurers to a very considerable amount, and consequently can influ ence a large business, thus adding to the security of the insured and tho stability of the Company, tbe chief features of which are a liberal management, prompt payments, rates moderate, and personal re sponsibility of a largo body of shareholders. Fire Insurance business commenced in Auckland and all the branches and agencies, on MONDAY, 2nd September, 1872, and the Marine business in the colony as early as possible ; and in Australia and Croat Britain as soon as arrangements can be made. NORWICH UNION LIEE INSURANCE SOCIETY, Empowered by special Acts of Parliament, and by Royal Charter in the reign of Queen Anne, to undertake all business connected with the Life Assurance, IS A PURELY MUTUAL OFFTCE. The Norwich Union Life Society has no distinct body of proprietors ; the insurers at large are the recipients of the savings of the institution : the premiums paid, being in fact only deposits, revert to thoso 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 fide, may secure, without the risk of bankruptcy, 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 .C2,:;00,000 and upwards, available for its requirements. RATES OK 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. LOANS. Surrender values are given for Policies of three years standing, or loans (iranted on security of same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of tlie globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS.

TO SUFFERERS. Nervousness: Its Nature and Cure. ! 11 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 the patient is either dying or dead. The best answer to the question, probably, is this—nervous ness is an unnatural condition of the nervous system. Sonuetinies 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 I 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 andf 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.— lt isjncertaily 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 cheerful, j 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 i 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 ah,' 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 clone ? The Answer will be found by carefully perusing the following AVork :— Ninth Edition, Post Free, Is. 4d. Nervous Debility: Its Cause and Cure. With Plain Directions for Perfect Restoration to Health.
