CIRCULAR TO AGRICULTURISTS.


THE PHILADELPHIA EXCREMENTUM, COMPANY


Are now engaged in the manufacture of Fertilizers, which for their qualities for enriching the soil and producing the most luxuriant growth of vegetation are unrivalled; and taken in connection with its price to farmers, never has been equalled by several hundred per centum.


-


This Company now offer for sale two Fertilizers, known as "EXCREMENTUM" and "PLEN-URIC." The former is the pure night- soil or human fæcis, deodorized and so treated and put up in tight barrels, that it may be transported to any part of the country; at the same time its original rich fertilizing qualities are much im- proved. The latter is composed of urine and night-soil, with such other ingredients as to allow of its being put up in cheap barrels, in a condition to be used without further preparation.


The "EXCREMENTUM" is warranted a pure article, and should be mixed with muck, marl, soil, or any suitable absorbing material, in sufficient quantity to make it easy of application.


One barrel of "EXCREMENTUM," or "PLEN-URIC," will produce as great an effect the first year of its application on any soil, as three times their cost in any other fertilizer; and the enriching qualities of the "Excrementum" and "Plen-Uric" will remain visible for years beyond the time at which other fertilizers would have lost all their value.


All Agriculturists who would secure to themselves the greatest results from their lands, labor, and money, will at once see the importance of obtaining a supply of the above valuable Fertilizers.

LIFE INSURANCE


BY THE


CONNECTICUT Mutual Life Insurance Co, HARTFORD, CONN.


ACCUMULATED CAPITAL over $3,500,000.


Reasons why a preference should be given to the Connecticut Mutual Life Insurance Company.


It is PURELY MUTUAL, and the Policy Holders get all the surplus over the exact cost of Insurance. There are no Stockholders to take any of the profits which rightfully belong to those who pay their premiums to the Company. There has been over One and a half' Millions of Dollars of surplus premiums refunded to the Policy Holders in this Company during the fourteen years of its existence.


It is PROMPT IN THE PAYMENT OF LOSSES Two hundred and fifty two thou- sand nine hundred and nineteen dollars, and fifty eight cents have been paid for losses by death during the last year, and over two millions, and two hundred and seventy-six thousand dollars since the organization of the Company, and in no instanee has payment been delayed, on the part of the Company, beyond the time it was due.


----


DIVIDENDS are declared ANNUALLY, and credited to all Life Policy holders, pro rata to the premiums they pay.


DIVIDENDS are paid during the lifetime of the insured, thus aiding them in settling future premiums-in cash to those who pay their premiums in cash, or applied to cancel the notes of those who pay their premiums partly by note. Nearly Two hundred thou- sand dollars have been thus refunded to the members during the past year.


It ACCOMODATES the insured in the settlement of their premiums, on Life Poli- cies when it amounts to $50.00 or more, by taking a note for one-half of the amount, bearing interest at six per cent. per annum ; which interest is to be paid annually in cash.


It is ECONOMICAL in the management of its business. During the last year its expenses have been less than seven and a third per cent. of its receipts, and for several years they have not exceeded an average of seven and a half per cent. and ARE LESS THAN ANY OTHER COMPANY.


It offers as SECURITY a large accumulated fund derived entirely from the premiums paid by members, since the commencement of its operations, in December, 1846-now amounting to more than three and a half millions of dollars, securely invested.


NO LIABILITY of the Insured, beyond their annual premium.
