Life Insurance. AUSTRALIAN MUTUAL PROVI DENT SOCIETY. In tho " Comtnoroial World " for June 15th we ! gavo a summary of tho Dlrectore' Report of this Company, and It wo refer to It again it is mainly In ordor to supplement and perfect a statement then mado, which wo find was short of the mark. Wo gavoit out as eomo'hing approach ing a business phonoinonon, that tho Society 1 throughout Its entire career of thirty-two years had paid its claims out of interest receipts alone. This statement is undoubtedly remarkable enough, but it falls far short of the actual achievements ot tho past year, when, aa wo now learn, the Interest receipts exceeded tho com bined payments for claims, commission, and expenses of management by nearly £10,000. If wo aro not mistaken, this result is entirely unique in Lifo ABSurance history. Certainly nothing, bo far as we havo observed, haa been experienced comparable to It in tho " Old Coun try," and if a parallel fact can bo produced from any other quarter, wo shall be glad to emblazon it in our columns. Thoso aro vory remarkablo results; not ac counted for solely by the faot that thoy pertain to the " oldest mutual life oflloe in Australia," or that tho avorngo interest received by tho Sooioty on ite investments, exceeds 6 per cent. por annum. These factors are of importance in the case, but they would only go a short way if tho Society's business was not vigorously pushed. It is the untiring activity of the Society's executive that doea it: and, as we have often said, activity is tho synonym ot ex penditure. Tho Society is not sparse in its ex penditure. But tho results justify tbo outlay. 1 hat Is tho crowning faot to be borno in mind. Which of our Companies, for example, groat or email, oommisßion or non-commlSßlon-paying, can Bhow a proportion of income laid by during tho yoar of 87 per cent, of tho gross premiums received. Wo know of nono that can do thiß; for, whilo wo havo sovoral Companies whose expenses of inanagoment are lighter than those of tho Australian Mutual, we havo nono, wo behove, that can show a lay-by, after providing for expenses and claims, equal to 87 per cent, of the premium Inoomo. But this is not all, In Great Britain we have a fow companies whoso new assurances amount to a million a-year. Tho number may bj counted on tho lingers who rise to that amount, while wo havo a vory largo proportion, porhap3 equal to 00 per cont. of our Companies, to whom Buch a result is altogether an unhoped for event. But tbe now business of the Australian Mutual Waß (or £2, 181,285, an amount (as is truly stated In the Company's advertisements), "Far ex ceeding that of any other Lifo Assurance Oflico lv tho British Dominions." Tho new annual premium income amounted to £72,850, while the net Increase to the bußincss, af cor allowing for loss of incomer fivmi terminated policies, was re presented by 3822 policies, assuring £1,227,613. This result, It is believed, 1b unparalleled in the hißtory of Lite .assurance, -whether in the Old World or in any othor. Take another fact: tho operations of the year—ousorvo, only tho Society's thlrtv-second year—raised the onnuol Income from £_'J 1,21.3 to £750,709, an increase in twelve months of £09,185, or SJ por cent, of the J previous year's revenue. Aguin tho accumu ated fund was increased during tho year hy the sum of £115,713, equal to 87 per cent, of the pre miums received. Something should also be said in regard toStho liberal, not to say enlightened, business principles of the Society. These constitute a Berleß of advantages secured to policy-holders, which aro of anature, itmayfairly bo presumed, to ellence all objectors, and to removo the scruples which many persons profess to enter tain against a too exacting system of life assur ance. The Society's policies contain no condi tions as to travelling-. Members are allowed to travel all over the world without license or pay mont of oxtra premium. A policy is not for feited through habits of Intemperance contracted after tbe policy ia issued, or through being con victed of felony, or by reason of the assured dying by hands of the iustioe or by suicide, provided in tho latter case, suicide is not com mitted within thirteen months after tho date of assurance. Policies are endorsed with an admission of age when issued, provided a cer tificate of birth Is produced; and if that can not be obtained, tbe beßt evidence of age obtain able is accepted. A polloy, when the age haa been admitted, IS free of all conditions after being five years In force, provided the life assured has resided within the ordinary limits from the date of the policy, and has attained thirty yearß of age. And when ttieße conditions have been complied with, a mutual Provident policy becomes absolutely indisputable and un challengeable, and the life-assured can reside in any part of the world without having to pay any extra premium. And last, but not least, indeed tbe most liberal principle of all, la that the policies of this Society,when they have endured three yoata.aro kept in force after they havo be come overdue by non pay ment of premium until the surrender value of tho policy ij exhausted. And in proof of the fact tbat thla principle operatea, and ia not a more flourish of trum pets, it is announced by tho society that at 31st December, 188u, "the number ot policies on which premiums were In arrear, and whloh were being continued Id force by moanß of this liberal regulation, amounted to 1,801, on which thero had been advanced by tho Bociety for tha payment of nremiums (exclusive ot interest) the sum of of £33.187." We may add, the Society is not a competitor for business with the United Kingdom, but It has its reputation to establish. And Englishmen going to Australia may by the foregoing tokens louru whore they can find an oilice in which to assure of the highest class, and working under the moat liberal principles known to the profession anywhere in the world.

The eminently satisfactory results of this com blnatlon of Bronchial Stimulants, Tissue Re paratives, Nerve and Blood Tonics, added to a Special Cough Calmative with febrifuge action plainly show that at least we have arrived much nearer to iho solution of the question, "Is Con sumption Curable 1" Dr. Milner Fothergtll (Practitioners' Hand Book, page 178):-" What is of much more im portance to us here is the question of what are the circumstancea which affect tubercle; which keep it away, or encourage its advances, or which arrest its progress when established, and stay it ravages. The hopeless pathology of Laenneo and Carswell had nothing but a.gr_ve as the future of those «ho were smitten with tubercle. Now we know that recovery from conditions actually tuberculous, or tending to tuberole, is very common." The wonderful effect of Alokln's Syrup Of Eucalyptus, with Hypophosphatea of Lime and Quinine, in the treatment of Pulmonary and Bronchitlo Complaints, verifies Dr McCall Anderson's statement (page 180, Clinical Lectures—Galloping Consumption): "That such then, are the kind of of oases whioh should le brought under the notice of those who, in these days of scepticism, aro inclined to sneer at the efficacy of drugs." The Syrup ot Eucalyptus, with Hypophos phites of Lime and Quinine, is not a Pre tentious nostrum, but a simple Pharma ceutical preparation, combining valuable agents that are chemically and physiologically compatible, and much recommended by eminent modern physicians as being specifically adapted for the diseases indicated in this notice. Before confidently recommending this.remedy to those afllloted with.Cheat .Complaints, the proprietor has an abundant proof of its. efficacy. Constantly recurring evidence is afforded of the great relief to sufferers, many of whom tender voluntary testimony.
