^ SCDISPUTABLE LIFE POLIC Y COMW ^ S ^ SSSBSSIAS ^ SSSS : ^ At the Seventh Annual General Meeting , held at the X ^* 3 "ft ^ . Jg £££ OTON in the Chair , The following Report was received and unanimously approved : — In submitting their Annual Heporfc to yonr consideration , the Board are enabled again to present a statement showtog a highly satisfactory advance in the business of the *^? h 1 ^ ast Annual Meeting it was seen that the progress of the Company had been greater in that than in any previous year ; and it is gratifying to observe that the new business of 1854 has again exceeded that of the previous vw while the business of the current year exceeds that of IhTcorrespondrag months of 1 S 54 , This large and steadily nroeressiveamount of business has been obtained , uofcwithstenaing the obstacles to the extension . of Life Assurance , arising from the pressure of a war taxation bearing heavily upon the means of all classes of the community . While the wemiums of the new business of 1854 exceed those of 185 S , the expenses have been less . At the . dose of the year embraced in the accounts now presented the revenue of the Company was a little under , Sad now considerably exceeds , 20 , 000 * . per annum . At the last Annual Meetings reduction of 2 »> per cent , was made upon the premiums of all participating policies of five years ' standing , and it is recommended that the same rule of redaction shall be continued , which will embrace all the participating policies on which five annual premiums have been paid prio & to this date . The claims of last year have been greater , as was to have been expected , than in the preceding year , but considerably under what the expectancy upon which the calculations of the Office ¦ are founded would have warranted us to antici-^ Great as the success of this Association has hitherto been , the Directors would again remind the Members that their own interests as well as the general benefit of the community may be greatly promoted by the exercise of tlieir individurfinfluenee .

/ GENUINE COCOA . — -Cocoa has been desig-VUT nated by Physicians of eminence as one of the richest productions of the vegetable kingdom , and , when properly prepared , is justly celebrated for its peculiarly invaluable nutritive properties . So keen , however , has been tho avidity to render this article a lucrative manufacture , and so strenuous the competitive efforts thereby excited , that the most flagrant adulterations have been resorted to , with the sole aim of lowness of price . The evils with which so baneful a system is fraught are strikingly manifest to tho medical profession , who , highly esteeming Cocoa ( in its PtTEE state ) as an article of diet , frequently prescribe and recommend it to invalids as a , remedial agent in promoting health . The results are , however , too often rendered nugatory by the impurity of the article supplied . The magnitude of our legitimate business as Tea Dealers necessarily precludes our devoting a strict and essential supervision to the manufacture of Cocoa ; wo have therefore completed arrangements with the highly respectable firm Of Messrs . HENRY THORN E and CO ., Leeds , whose many years' successful experience in the preparation of this article , and the celebrity they have thereby acquired , together with their uncompromising determination to adhere to the principle they originally adopted , viz ., to manufacture only from tho choicest Nuts , and to rigidly eschew adulteration in any shape whatever , warrant us in recommending their " GENUINE TRINIDAD COCOA" to our numerous Friends , to thd Medical Profession , and to tho Public .

This Society is established on the tried and approved principle of Mutual Assurance . Tho funds are--accumulated for the exclusive benefit of the Policy-holders , under their own immediate superintendence and control . Ihe Profits are divided annually , and applied in reduction of the current Premiums . Policy-holders participate m Profits after payment of five annual Premiums . The Annual General -Meetingof this Society was hold on the 80 th of May , 1855 , when a Report of the business for the last year was presented , exhibiting a statement of most satisfactory progress . It appeared that during the two last years , 1853 and 1854 , between 800 and 900 new Assurances had been effected , producing an increase of Premium income amounting to 14 , 000 £ . per annum . It also appeared that , notwithstanding the extraordinary mortality which prevailed during the last year in consequence of the visitation of the cholera , it had not been found necessary to reduce , in the slightest , the allowance previously awarded to the Policy-holders . The Members present at the Meeting were fully satisfied with the Report , and resolved unanimously that a Seduction of 31 £ per Cent , should be made in tho current year ' s Premium payable by all Policy-holders now entitled to participate in the Profits . Credit is allowed for half the Annual Premiums for the first five years .
