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 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 granted on security oe same. FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS.

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 uevousness 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 tha question, probably, is tins—nervous- ~ NESS IS AN UNNATURAL CONDITION OF THE NERVOUS . _y system. Sometimes this unnatural state is accompa nied with considerable bodily weakness, loss of flesh and loss of strengtli; but in most cases there is m 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 then- cheek ; they are surrounded by kind friends, yet existence to - : i 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 Tieats violently; the hand shakes when writing, and tlie 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 brood 3 upon unpleasant topics, the spirits are either very low or very excited, tlie ordinary duties of life become I burdensome, society is shunned and business ne glected. : " • A Strange Spectacle.— lt is certainly 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, j they render other people unhappy. Why is this? ~ What cause lias 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 hvgenic means, such as exercise in the open air, ■' regular habits, sea bathing, the cold bath friction;- • change of air and scene, as in travelling. 11 aU these j fail, as they often do, what is to be done ? - ,'. Tlie Answer wiU 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 be accompanied by the amount in New Zealand or other stamps, also a properly directed envelope.
