"^THE BAThTlROOMS Are part of the Establishment, and contain, in addition to the ordinary Hydro¬ pathic appliances, fo^lr Hussian Vapour and two commodious anct well-appointed Turkish Baths. THE COMPRESSED AIR BATH, Which is especially beneficial in Asthma, Weakness of the Vocal Organs, Chronic Catarrh, and other similar alFections. THE SEAWEED OR OZONE BATH, The discovery of which is very recent, is already famous in the cure of liheumatism. Sciatica, cfcc., &c. “Although it was still the winter season, flowers were everywhere in profusion—the primrose, the wallflower, and the crocus being almost at maturity. 1 was not surprised at this when I subsequently turned over some statistics issued by the Eegistrar-General, and saw that the temperature of Llandudno, as calculated for the three years 1870, 71—^72, was considerably higher than that of Brighton, Eastbourne, Osborne, Truro, and other places on the south coast; and that in very cold seasons the difference in favour of the Welsh town is most remarkable. I did not stop to inquire into the cause of this phenoine- non, nor why it comes about that fogs are unknown on the peninsula. It was nothing to me that Llandudno possessed so many wonderful advantages if it were lacking in the one particular I have mentioned, namely, some place where I could enjoy the comforts of a home without having to pay too dearly for the luxury. I had been advised to try the Hydropathic Establishment in Heville Crescent. I did so. This Establishment—of which Dr. Thomas, late of Chester, is the proprietor and medical superintendent—was designed and erected speciaUj' for the purpose to which it is now devoted. The situation commands a grand view of the bay, which stretches for nearly two miles between the two headlands; and, as Dr. Thomas’s, premises form the southern end of the Crescent, sojourners there are in full sight of the magnificent scenery which ranges from Pemnaen- inawr to the point of Ayr, with Snowdon in the rear. The House itself is jidmirably adapted for the purposes to which it is applied. Larger than many of our Liverpool hotels, it contains abundant accommodation, the rooms, corridors, staircases, &c., being spacious and well arranged. It is thoroughly warmed and ventilated throughout—an advantage which invalids must in winter keenly appreciate; and the domestic arrangements are carried out by the housekeeper in such a way as to ensure the comfort of every visitor. The .system and punctuality observed throughout the whole of the domestic arrange¬ ments, and the civility and attention displayed by all the subordinates, really ensure what Dr. Thomas so much desires—the cheerfulness, comfort, and happiness of his .visitors. Now comes a very natural query. What does all this cost I All I can say is that I was satisfied, and with me economy was ncit to be lost sight of. Those who wish to ascertain the exact charges can write to Dr. Thomas for a tariff. They will find it pro rata. If they want private rooms, instead of using the general drawing and dining rooms, they can have them, though not for nothing; but those who cast their lot among the general company, and take their meals at the table d’hote, will find, as I did, that they get first-class hotel living and accommodation at much less than first-class hotel rates.”— Liverpool Mercury, February 26, 1874. IT ADVERTISEMENTS. WHAT OUGHT TO BE SOUGHT FIRST BY INTENDING ASSURERS IS ABSOLUTE SECURITY. rPHE “QUEEN” LIFE ACCUMULATION FUND, at the close of last Quinquennium (31st December, 1873) amounted tt) upwards of 67 per cent, of the entire net premiums received on every policy then in existence, and, after making ample reserves on a 3 per cent, pure premium valuation, showed a clear divisible surplus or profit for the five years of over £30,000. The late eminent Actuary, Mr. SAMUEL BRO'VVN', who checked the valuations, concluded his report as follows ;— “ The precautions which have been taken not to anticipate any of the future profits of the Company, and by using the tables on which the premiums are based at a very low rate of interest, to strengthen its position at all futui c divisions, are sure to lead to the confidence and support of the public. “ It seems to me that such results as those above shown are likely to lead to a great influx of business during the next Quinquennial period.” IN ADDITION TO THE Undeniable Security thus shown, the Subscribed Capital, at the date mentioned.

BOWEN’S ANTISEPTIC TONIC-SALINE Imparts to the system Nature’s great purifier— Ozone —^thereby cleansing the blood from all effete or poisonous matter, preventing fermentation in the stomach and ensuring perfect digestion. BOWEN’S Tonic-Saline is the most efficacious remedy ever discovered for the cure of Indigestion, Bilious and Liver Complaints, Nervousness, Lowness of Spirits, General Debility, Nervous and Bilious Head-ache, Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Scurvy, Scrofula, and Wasting Diseases. Bowen’s Tonic-Saline makes a pleasant and refreshing drink which may be taken habitually with meals with the greatest advantage. It should be observed that the Tonic-Saline does not lower the system like some Natural Mineral Waters, Aerated Waters, Citrate of Magnesia and Seidlitz Powders; but, on the contrary. Bowen’s Tonic-Saline invigorates the Nerves and Muscular System, Purifies and Enriches the Blood, Animates the Spirits and Mental Faculties, and ensures Good Health. Emigrants and travellers abroad should always keep a .supply, as it is the only true preventive of, and cure for. Fevers, Dysentery, Cholera, Diarrhoea, and Sea Sickness. CAUTION . — Although there are several Salines similar to mine in appearance, yet they are entirely different in comjiosition. This being the only Saline that does not lower the system, it will be found an excellent preparation for counteracting the depressing effects ^ of hot weather.

The conditions of the Alliance have been recently revised and placed on a footing eminently favourable to the assured, and the rates of premium ifor policies that do not participate in profits have been materially reduced. Persons are thus enabled to effect assurances with the office free from unnecessary restrictions, and ,at a minimum cost in premium, while the security afforded by the large capital and reserves of the Company is of the highest character. . • n c*. Participating policy-holders receive 80 per cent, of the declared divisable proht from all life assurances. , . • • i Important concessions have been made to tlie assured as regards foreign residence ■and travel. . i r r ^ Under favourable circumstances whole world policies are granted tree ot extra premium. • i i, • i Policies acquire a surrender value after two annual premiums have been paid.
