NEW ZEALAND GOVERNMENT LIFE INSURANCE AND ANNUITIES. THE Government having been empowered by special Acts of the Legislature to enter into contracts for Insurances on Lives, and for the grants of Annuities and Endowments, are now prepared to execute any of the usual contracts dependent upon the contingencies of human life.

All transactions, and Powers of Attorney and other documents, are free of Stamp Duty and all taxation. 3. No charge is made beyond the purchase money or premium, paid quarterly, half-yearly, or annually. 4. Fourteen or twenty-one days of grace, according to the intervals of payment, are allowed beyond the due dates; and should the assured die during these periods, the policy will still be valid. 5. Surrender values are granted on the whole or any part of a contract which has endured for five years. 6.

HOLLOWAY’S PILLS.—This cooling Medicine may be used with the happiest effects when the blood is overheated and a tendency to inflammatory action appears in the system ; a course of one Pill a day taken shortly before dinner does away with the indigestion, fulness and flatulency—indications of a week stomach or disordered liver. A few Pills taken at bed-time act as alteratives and aperients; they not only relieve the bowels, but regulate every organ connected with them, overcome all acrid humours, and encourage a free supply of all the secretions essential to our well-being. Holloway’s Pills thoroughly cleanse and perfectly regulate the circulation, and in hot climates and high temperatures, induce that feeling of comfort which is the pleasing accompaniment of a high state of health. 31 WELP TON'S VEGETABLE PURIFYING PILLS.
