"Dear Sir,—l have been a great sufferer from Lumbago—in fact, for the last 61 years I have not been free from it for one minute : and to make things worse, about two years and nine months since Neuralgia oC the Bladder set in which has been dreadfully painful and trouble some. I saw a short time since your advertise ments in reference to Pulvermacher's Galvanic Bands, and the cures affected by them, and being averse to taking medicine for these com plaints, I determined to try one. The result has reen something wonderful, the Neuralgia in the Bladder left me in a week (mostly in the morn ing, I could scarcely crawl out of bed for it), and the Lumbago is very nearly gone (it has been of such long standing that I never expected to get any better), and instead of my life been made miserable by these pains, I feel almost like another man. You are perfectly at liberty to publish this if you think fit, and perhaps it may be the means of some other unfortunate sufferer gaining relief. "1 am, yours truly, "James Slator. i " G.

Pharazyn, M.L.C., (Chairman of the Loc;il Board of the Australian Mutual Provident Society). Vice-Chairman : The Hon. Randall Johnson, M.L.C. (Manag ing Director of the Northern Land and Loan Company). Directors: JiOOB Joskph, Esq., Merchant. A. D£ B. Brandon, Esq., M.H.R., (Local Director of the Australian Mutual **<■£& Proyideut Society). The Hon. Dr. M. S. Grace, M.L.C. B. W. Mills, Esq., Merchant. Walter ,T. Nathan, Esq., Merchant. Solicitors : Messrs. Eraxdon and Sox, Wellington. General Manager: A thoroughly competent and experienced General -\ianager will be appointed. Bankers: To be nereafter appointed by the Directors. Secretary (For Organisation, and subsequently Agent for Canterbury): Mr. Fredk. G. A. Graham. The above Directors are entrusted with the organization of the Company, and have power to frame the Articles of Association, and to Register the same. They will provide for the Board a tenure of office of one year, and the aunual retirement of the usual proportion of their number. The Directors have each subsoribed for ,£IOOO cash interest in the Company, and have under taken its formation as a thoroughly Colonial institution, with head quarters in Wellington. One-half only of the shares will be immedia tely issued, and the Directors, having already apportioned a considerable number elsewhere, in securing a large [amount of support, will be shortly prepared to place an adequate propor tion of the capital in the Province of Auckland with persons whose influence or business is calculated to be valuable to the Company. Having a large amount of support, and being able to otter to the public the guarantee of ample cash capital, the Company will commence business under the most favourable ansptees. The whole of the remaining 100,000 shares being reserved for allotment in successive issues to actual insurers with the Company in propor tion to the insurance premiums paid by them. The Directors find business people perfectly prepared to enter the Association upon such allotments as proportioned to their influence, while calculated to permanently secure their support. The interests of the general body of smaller insurers will also be consulted in the allotment. But an important feature in the proposal is the determination of the Directors to retain one half of the total capital for future allotment to actual insurers upon a definite and equitable basis. Several of the Directors have had experience of the great advantages of mutuality in con nection with the most successful life association existing; and, after long consideration, the Board are satisfied that the present proposal comprehends the roost practical embodiment of that principle applicable to Fire and Marine business. The Directors, therefore, calculate upon the following results, viz.: That the Company will commence business with a large capital in hand, besides undoubted security; that the method of fixing the capital will secure a large amount of business; and that the Company will have tne sympathies of the public as a strong colonial institution, holding open its doers to all insurers upon a mutual principle, and yet backed by large capital, security, and business. The companies hitherto formed have been uniformly successful. The rapid progress of the colony fully warrants the foundation o£ a similar institution in its apital city. The Directors have been iustifled in thinking that the shares would be favourably regarded, and it was in that view, now fully confirmed, that they decided in the interests of insurers in general and consequently of the association. Mr. Graham or another representative of the Directors will shortly be in Auckland. The rates and general terms of business of the Association will be similar to whatever may be current from time to time. For Directors of Colonial Insurance Company FRED. A. GRAHAM, Secretary. TG.
