BONHAM 1 HE SUCCESS OF THIS COMPANY IS UNPRECEDENTED in the history of Life Insurance, as the following grade of success will show : Policies Issued 28th March, 1867, ONE. Sept. 1, 1869, 8,000 <' Dec. 1,1871, 15,250 Ifs Plaa of Insurance is Mutual, Being the ONLY PLAN to get Insurance at its net cost. It has de clared and paid to its Policy-Holders THREE ANNUAL DIVIDENDS, ranging from IO to 40 Per Cent., which will compare favorably with other good Companies. It fully provides for the non-forfeiture of its Policies, and has the following feature : " Should the policy-holder, by any mishap or revolution, be sepa rated from the home office, and thereby be prevented from paying their premiums, they have the right to reinstate their Policies within one year after the intervening cause is removed, and are entitled to thc same rights ti - to non-forfeiture as though the hindering cause had neve)' existed, at the option of \ the insured,*' so that no contingency can take from her policy-holders theil just rights. The late war taught many in the South the penalty of heine separated from the home office by having their payment? forfeited. It issues Policies payable in Gold or Currency, and offers every advan tage consistent with the safety of the Company. It has been in ACTIVE operation but four years, and yet its business and income exceed many Companies much older. Its ratio of expenses to income in 1870, as the following comparison shows, was only 18.83 per cent., being less than ONE-HALF the expense of other Companies of like age and ex perience. tt Ratio of expenses to income in 1870 of the following Companies, organized in 1867, hence, are the same age as the PIEDMONT AND ARLINGTON: Excelsior, N.

As an evidence of its strength, we make the following comparison with other good Companies ; Companies that are acknowledged to be good, and recommended to the public as being sound, safe and reliable, by all Insurance Commissions: ..Ein.- $112 00*to each ?100 itowes, or surplusof 12 pr cent, Berkshire, 107 00 do do do 7 .lo Brooklyn, 115 00 do do do 15 do Continental (N.

As Section 15 of our Charter provides that Policies issued for the benefit of wives and families, ancestors, descendants, creditors, or dependents, shall not be liable for the debts or contracts of the assured. ITS INVESTMENTS ABE ALWAYS SECDBE, As Section 18 provides that " all permanent investments of funds shall be on mortgages-on Real Estate, unincumbercd, worth double the amount loaned." Its investments are made where the money is obtained. Thus it combines all the advantages of a home Company, and the increased security of its large business and large assets. BSTlt has passed the rigid inspection of the Insurance Departments of New York, Kentucky, Missouri and California, and has outside vouching of these Insurance adepts which no other Sonthern Company has. It has now therefore as high vouching as any Northern or Western Company. ?^~It has progress to vouch for its popularity, small expenses for its economy, small losses for its caution, and every vouching any Company has for its solid solvency. Why should South Carolinians send money to those Northern Companies whose State law positively forbids lending one dollar in the State, when this Company has chartered authority and has invested in their midst ?

It is purely a home Company, chartered by the State of Georgia with a large Capital-$500,000. Organized but a little more than two years ago, it has already issued near 3,000 Policies, insuring about $8,000,000, and paid in Losses $100,000 ! Its Reserve is ample, having about $200 of Assets to $100 of Liabilities, and its business is economically managed. Desiring to be properly represented throughout the State of South Caro lina, it would give me pleasure to commission many active gentlemen and ladies as both Local and Traveling Agents for the Company. A, reasonable portion of time demoted to its interests, I am satisfied would repay you. To illustrate : Many Premiums will average about $150 on each Policy. The Commissions (20 per cent.) will be $30.

Iv THE CAUSE AND CUBE OF CONSUMPTION. -The primary causo of Consumption fe derange ment of the digestive organs. This derangement produces deficient nutrition and assimilation. By ?assimilation I mean that process by which the nu triment of the food ls converted Into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons wita digestion thus Impaired, having the slightest pre disposition to pulmonary disease, or if they ti tte cold, will bo very liable to have Consumption of the Lunga in some of Its forms ; and I hold that, lt will bc Impossible to cure any case of ConsampE on without first restoring a good digestion and healthy assimilation. The very first thing to be done ii to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all dlseaied mucus and slime, which ls clogging these organs so that they cannot perform their fonctions, and thea rouse op and restore the liver to a healthy actko. For this purpose the surest and best remedy Is Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the dead and morl id slime'that ls causing distase and decay in the whole system. They will clear out the Hverof all diseased bile that has accumulated there, and rouse it up to a new and healthy action, by which natara!' ai id healthy bile ls secreted. The stomach, bowels, and liver are thus desasid by th? use of Schenck*s Mandrake Pills; hot there remains in the stomach an excess of add, ti? organ Is torpid and the appetite, poor. In the bev els the lac teals ore weak, and requiring strength and support It is In a condition like this that Sch en ck 's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the mest valuable remedy ever discovered. It ls alkaline, and Its use will neutralise all excess of add, mat ing the stomach sweet and fresh; it will give per manent tone to this important organ, and crea ie a good, bear+y appetite, and prepare the system for the first process of a good digestion, and ultimately moke good, healthy, living blood. After this preparatory treatment, what remains to core most cases of Consumption is the free and persevering use of Scbenck's Pulmonlc Syrup. The Pulmonlc Syrup nourishes the system, puri fies the blood, and is readily absorbed into the circulation, and thence distributed to the diseased lungs. There lt ripens all morbid matters, whether In the form of abscess ea or tubercles, and then assists Nature to expel all the diseased matter, In the form of free expectoration, when once -,t ripeas. . It Is then, by the great healing and purifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonlc Syrup, that all ulcers and cavities are healed up sonna, and my patient is cured. . _ The essential thing to be 'done in curing Con sumption ls to get up a good appetite and a good di Kei cavity matter cannot ripen, so long as the system ls below par. What ls necessary to cure ls a new order of thtngs,-agood appetite?agoodnnfirWou.the body to grow ia flesh and get fat ; then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown off in large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the crae and only plan to core Con sum p tion, and If a person is very bad, If the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone. If there ls enough vitality left m the other to heal up, the? ls hope. I have seen many persons cored with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This ls what Schcnct'F Medicines wUl do to cure Consumption. They will clean oat the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, got np a good digestion, and sive Nature the assistance she needs to dear the system of all the disease that ls la the langs, whatever the form may be. It ls Important that while using Schenck's Medi cines, care should be exercised:not to take cold; keep in-doors ta cold and damp weather: avoid night air. and take out-door exercise only In a genial and warm sunshine. I wish lt distinctly understood that when I recom mend a patient tobe careful In regard to taking cold, while using my Medldnes, I do so for a special reason. A mao who has bot partUUy r eco rared from the effects of a bad cold is nur more liable to a relapse than ono who has been entirely cured ; and lt ls precisely the same in regajxi to Consump tion. 8o long as the lungs are not perfectly healed, Jost so long ls there imminent danger of a full re turn of the disease. Hence lt Is that I so strenu ously caution pulmonary patienta against exposing - themselves to an atmosphere that la not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' longs are a mass of sores, which the lean change of atm ce- . phere will Inflame The grand secret of my suc cess with ray Medldnes consists la my aMllty to subdue Inflammation Instead of provoking lt, aa mary of the faculty do. An Inflamed long cannot, with safe ty to the patient, be exposed to the biting Katta or winter or the chilling winds of Spring ir Autumn. It should be carefully shielded from all irritating Influences. The utmost caution should be observed in this particular, as without it ' a core nader almost any circumstances la aa Impos sibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritions diet, and all the Medldnes continued ontil the body bas restored to lt the natural Quantity of flesh and strength. I was myself coted by this treatment of the worst kind of Consomption, and havo Uved to get fat and . hearty these many years, with one lung mostly w, gone. I have cured thoatanda a ince, and very many have been curd by this treatment whom I have never seen. About the El nt of October I expect to take posses sion of my new banding, at the Northeast Corn er of Sixth and Arch Streets, where I shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require lt. Full directions accompany all my Remedies, so that a person in any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict observance of the sam?. 1. H. SCHENCK, M. D. Philadelphia. JOHN F.
