Insurance- OEVICH 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 tiie bisk 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 £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 granted on security op same* FOREIGN TRAVEL Permitted to all parts of the globe in properly decked 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 50 „ „ „ 66 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 NOKWICH UNION FIBE 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. Kent can be insured for 12 months. BANK CREDIT. Has been established in the Colony, and losses will be paid here promptly, liberally, and IN CASH, or at home, at the option of the assured.

EXOLLO WAY'S PILLS To Purify the Blood. —These Pills have been placed by the common consent of mankind at the head of all remedies for removing obnoxious poisons from the blood, and cleansing all the tissues of the body They have saved thousands year after year from falling a sacrifice to the effects of dyspepsia, dysentery, diarrhoea, constipation, liver complaints, &c., a fact attested^ by myriads of witnesses. Excessive weakness and debility, the warnings of decreasing organic energy and vital decay, are restored and reanimated with vigour and healthful action in every organ throughout the system, by the restorative and exhilirating influence of this medicine. Female Complaints. —All disorders of the sex, and diseases in every crisis perilous to the life and health, of woman, youthful or aged, married or single, may be radically and quickly cured without risk or trouble by a few doses of these Pills, taken according to the printed directions. Indigestion with Langour and Want of Energy. — When taking these Pills rub Holloway's celebrated Ointment over the pit of the stomach, and over th regions of the liver, on the right side under the rib and you will at once experience a change for the bette in your digestion, spirits, appetite, strength, an energy. The improvement, though it may 1j gradual will be thorough and lasting. Dropsy. —The efficacy of Holloway's Pills in dropsy is extraordinary. They act with- such peculiar effect upon the system, that the fluids arising from this direful disease are imperceptibly,carried off and pre vented from any further accumulation. The sufferer iegainsa buoyancy of spirits, and rejoices in a com pletely renovated constitution ; but it is indispensably necessary that the Ointment should be most effectuall rubbed into the complaining parts. Stomach, Liver, Kidneys, and Bowels. —Those who suffer from bile and liver complaints should try the effects of this valuable remedy, a few doses of which will make the sufferer feel elastic and vigorous, re moving all impurities, giving a healthy action to the liver; if bilious attacks be allowed to continue, serious casualities may arise, and the sufferer be consigned to a bed of sickness. In all disorders of the kidneys the Ointment should be well rubbed into the back once or twice a day : and the Pills, acting in unison, will cure any complaint arising from these organs. Puffy, — Shortness of Breath with Weakness. —Very bad symptoms, which if not corrected, may tend to " ome serious disorders of the heart, or other vital organs. Eat moderately of solids, take six Pills nightly for some little time; take plenty of £resh air with moderate exercise, and the human machinery will be quickly restored to health and vigour. Tr>this but for three days only, and the result will be marvellous. Complaints incident, do Children.-^-AW complaints of . children may soon be cured if care be taken to puriN^JA their blood, correct the action of the liver, and cleajj.. the stomach and bowels': a few closes of these famoujrr\ Pills will immediately have the desired effect, par ticularly if parents be careful in not allowing them to eat of things which they know would be injurious to themselves. Holloway's Pills are the best remedy known in the world for the following diseases: — Ague Female Irregu- I King's Evil Asthma larities 'Sore Throats Bilious Com- Fevers of all kinds Stone and Gravel plaints Fits Secondary Syinp- Blotches on the Gout toms Skin Headache Tic Douloureux Bowel Com- Indigestion Tumours plaints Inflammation Ulcer Colics Jaundice Venereal Affec- Constipation of Liver Complaints tions the Bowels Lumbago Worms of all Consumption Piles kinds Debility Rheumatism Weakness, from Dropsy Retention of whatever cause, Dysentery Urine &c, &c.
