THIS COMPANY, organized in 1846, on a system entirely Mutual, furnishes Insurance in all the various forms, and to meet all the various contingencies for which Life Insurance is desired, at the actual cost to the policy holder. There is no Stock or Guaranty Fund to absorb the profits, but all the surplus is annually allocated to the policy holders, in proportion to the amount of the pre- mium they pay, and may be appropriated to the payment of renewal premiums, after the first four years.
Some of the Important Reasons why this Company should be Preferred.
It offers abundant SECURITY, in a large accumulated Fund, derived from Premiums, amount- ing to over Seven Millions of Dollars.
Its ECONOMY in the management of business permits large dividends to policy holders, which have averaged 50 per cent. per annum.
Its DIVIDENDS are ANNUAL, and are paid during the life of the assured, in cash to those who pay their premiums in cash, or applied in canceling the notes of those who pay their premium partly by note. Over $293,300 have been thus refunded to policy holders during the past year.
It is prompt in PAYMENT OF LOSSES.
It ACCOMMODATES the insured in the settlement of their premiums on Life policies, by receiving a note for one-half, when the premium amounts to $50 or more,-thus furnishing insurance for double the amount, for nearly the same cash payments, as is required in an "ALL CASH COMPANY."
Much has been recently written and extensively circulated by a prominent Life Insurance Com- pany, condemning the credit or half-note system, as practiced by this and some other prosperous Companies. The illustrations accompanying those attacks explanatory of the system, exhibit either an inexcusable ignorance of the plan, or a wanton effort to mislead and prejudice those who seek insurance upon the most equitable and economical plan. The explanations thus published to illus- trate the half-note system do not, it is believed, apply to any Company in the country, certainly not in the least degree to the CONNECTICUT MUTUAL, in which there cannot be an accumulation of premium notes beyond four half premiums; as the dividends apply to cancel those notes after the first four payments. Parties are not, however, required to give a premium note to this Com- pany ; but, if preferred, may pay all cash, in which case, their dividends are applied to a reduction of the premium.
The Directors have ordered the dividend of 1861 to be paid during the current year, as the renewals become due and are paid-by reduction of the premium of those who have paid all cash, or canceling the notes of those who have given notes for one-half.
Applications for Insurances received, and Pamphlets, and every information in regard to the business, furnished on application, by mail or otherwise, to

No. 226 Walnut Street, Second Floor.
Independent of the above sums, the " ROYAL" Life and Endowment Fund amounts to over
In Gold, $2,000,000.
This Fund is, in proportion to the risks it represents, as large as the funds of the best mutual and other life insurance establishments, yet the Company offers as additional security to life insurers its entire capital and assets.
THE ROYAL LIFE OFFICE insures on the lowest terms compatible with absolute security. Its premiums are not higher than those of mutual and other companies.
THE ROYAL LIFE exposes the insured to none of the dangers inherent in the mutual system.
The Dividends of the "ROYAL," hitherto amounting to 2 per cent. per annum on the sum insured, are the highest ever continuously paid by any reliable mutual company, while the advantages offered by the " ROYAL" are tantamount to non-forfeiture of life policies.
Policies can be surrendered to the Company at their equitable value, or new policies granted in lieu thereof, without further payment of premiums.
Further information may be had by personal application, or by letters, directed to the

DR. D. JAYNE'S FAMILY MEDICINES
Are prepared with great care expressly for family use, and are so admirably calculated to preserve the health and remove disease, that no family should ever be without them.
THEY CONSIST OF
JAYNE'S EXPECTORANT, for Coughs, Consumption, Asthma, Bronchitis and other Pulmonary Affections.
JAYNE'S TONIC VERMIFUGE, for Worms, Dyspepsia, Piles, General Debility, &c. JAYNE'S SPECIFIC FOR THE TAPE WORM, It never fails.
JAYNE'S CARMINATIVE BALSAM, for Bowels and Summer Complaints, Colics, Cramps, Cholera, &c.
JAYNE'S ALTERATIVE, for Scrofula, Goitre, Cancers, Diseases of the Skin and Bones.
JAYNE'S AGUE MIXTURE, for the cure of Fever and Ague.
JAYNE'S LINIMENT, or COUNTER IRRITANT, for Sprains, Bruises.
JAYNE'S SANATIVE PILLS, for all Bilious Complaints and Diseases of the Liver ; a valuable Alterative and Purgative Medicine.
JAYNE'S HAIR TONIC, for the Preservation, Beauty, Growth, and Restoration of the Hair.
JAYNE'S LIQUID HAIR DYE, also, AMERICAN HAIR DYE, (in powder,) each of which will change the Hair from any other color to a beautiful Black.
These Medicines have now been before the public for thirty years, and during this long period the demand for them has been constantly increasing, and their reputa- tion gradually spreading, until their great curative powers have become known and thoroughly appreciated in all quarters of the world. While, however, the Proprietor is fully persuaded that they will give very GENERAL, if not UNIVERSAL satisfaction, it is not intended that they are "CURE ALLS," nor that they are, in all cases and under all circumstances, absolutely infallible. Yet he can truly say, after thirty-six years' experience, in an extensive and diversified practice, and with a full knowledge of the medical qualities and effects of the component parts of each of the above-named articles, that there is no combination of medicines which have been so generally suc- cessful as these, in removing the various diseases for which they are severally recom- mended.
It should be borne in mind, too, that the popularity of these "Family Medicines" is not confined to the illiterate and credulous, but innumerable persons of intelligence and character, occupying the most prominent stations in society,-too honest to impose upon others, and too sagacious to be imposed upon themselves,-not only use, but speak of them in the highest terms of praise, for the uniformity of their success in subduing diseases.
THESE MEDICINES ARE PREPARED ONLY BY
DR. D. JAYNE & SON,
No. 242 Chestnut St., Philadelphia, And may be had of Agents throughout the country.
