Insurance- N~~OEWICH UNION LIFE 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 OFFICE. 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 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 fide, may secure, without the risk op 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 £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 hould 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 c4lianted ox secusiist of same" FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly deoked vessels, and in time of peace. PARTICIPATION OF PROFITS. In this office it is anticipated} that persons entering at 20 will be relieved rom further premiums at 44 40 „ ~ 60 60 „ „ „ 68 Medical ees are paid by the Company, and there are no charges for Stamps, Policies, &c. One-half the first five years' premiums may remain unpaid upon whole Life Policies. T. B. KENDERDINE, Esq., M.D., Medical Referee. Intending assurers are recommended to call upon the undersigned for prospectus and further particulars NOEWICH UNION FIEE INSURANCE SOCIETY. The SECURITY afforded by this long-established Society is unquestionable, its rates exceedingly mode rate, and its regulations liberal. INSURANCES for 7 years charged as 6.

Yoctngman Dunedin THE CUES IS AT HAND. HOLLOWAY'S OINTMENT Scorbutic Eruptions, as Sore Heads and Scrofulous Swellings.— lf this powerful Ointment be well rubbed" into the parts affected all skin disease will be speedily overcome. It acts not b)r repression, but repulsion. It eaters the system as salt enters meat, and operates not locally only, but constitutionally purifying the whole" system, neutralizing all depraved humours, and effecting a radical and complete cure. The Pills should be taken as an auxiliary to the Ointment, a3 they are so prepared as to act in unison with it, facilitating and confirming the conquest of the disease. Dipthcria, Ulcerated Sore Throat and Qiiinsey.—lhe above complaints have for twenty years been treated with Holloway's Ointment and Pills with perfect success. The cures have been so remarkable, speedy, and numerous, that these often fatal diseases are more easily cured by these medicines than even the common sore tnroat, if taken in time. The Kidneys, Stone and Gravel.- — In these complaints the Ointment almost acts like a charm, pro viding it is very effectually rubbed over the regions of the kidneys, which it will penetrate and give almost immediate relief, while the Pills should be taken according to the printed directions, when the most extraordinary cures may be effected by this means. Bad Legs, Bad Breasts, Scrofulous Sores, and Glandular Swellings. —ln such cases the Ointment operates surely and with a rapidity that resembles magic. It should be rubbed into the parts affected after they have been fomented with luke warm water. The purifying and curative powers of this marvellous unguent have never failed. An old sore, wound, or ulcer always yields to its influence, and in cases of bad breasts, or milk fevers, its action is wonderful. Glandular swellings may soon be reduced by following the printed directions. The Action of the Heart—Dropsy. — The last named disease is commonly preceded by irregular action of the heart, and difficult respiration ; which symptoms are always severe, and ever go from bad to worse unless proper means of cure are resorted to. In Holloway's unrivalled Ointment and Pills the dropsical patient will ever find succour ; the present relief derived from the use of these remedies is marvellously quick and perseverance in the steady application of this famous Ointment invariably results in a cure. They act with such energy on the circulation and absorbent system that the dropsical fluid vanishes, and the sufferer finds all the oppressive symptoms daily decline till natural health- returns.
