NEW BLOCK-SPRING TRUSS, FOR THE RADICAL CURE OF HERNIA.
PATENT FEB. S.1847
The advantage of the BLOCK SPRING TRUSS are found in the self-adjusting prin- ciple given the block, by which a more uniform pressure, a more secure retention, and comparative ease to the wearer, are gained. The Springs are unsurpassed for ELASTICITY, and warranted not to rust.
This Truss has been recommended by the medical profession generally. It has been in- troduced into a number of Hospitals and similar institutions, and pronounced unequalled.

PECULIARITIES.
The advantages held out by " The Equitable," will be found most favourable to the assured, and such as are afforded by no other Life Insurance Company in the United States.
The premiums are lower, and the conditions in the policy are less onerous to the assured, than in other offices. The travelling leave is most extensive and liberal.
The age of the assured is admitted on the policy, which can only be vitiated by fraud. The Company are satisfied if the party assuring the life of another had, at the time of affecting the assurance, a bona fide interest in the life.
The policy is assignable without the consent of the Company.
If the party assured die in a duel, by his own hand, or under sentence of the law, such death will not invalidate the policy, except so far as it was the property of the deceased at the time of his decease.
By the Half-credit rates of Premiums, a creditor may assure the life of his debtor without paying more than is actually necessary to cover the risk.
Persons insured for life can, at the commencement, borrow half the amount of an- nual premium, and claim the same privilege for five successive years without security or deferred note.
Married women and female children can insure the life of either a husband or pa- rent free from the ehrime of croditoru.
The Company not being " Mutual," the affairs of the assured are transacted with- out the interference of the numerous persons who, in Mutual offices, have a right to search the books.
Rates for Insuring $100 on a single Life.
