TOTAL ACCUMULATED ANNUAL REVENUE FUNDS IN HAND EXCEEDS OVER £600,000. £1,200,000.
FIRE DEPARTMENT.
The latest returns of Government Duty show the ROYAL, on the authority of Parliamentary Documents, to be at the head of all the Insurance Offices as regards increase of business.
The Receipt of FIRE PREMIUMS has progressed as follows:
1857 £175,049 1861 £292,402 1859 228,314 1863 341,668
While for 1865 they amounted to £414,733.
The ROYAL Insurance Company has invariably been distinguished for its promptitude and liberality in the settlement of Claims.
LIFE DEPARTMENT.
The rapid progress and the position of this Branch will be best shown by the following Statement of the New Life Business effected for the years
Net sum assured on New Policies after deducting Guarantees. 1857 £329,380 1861 £521,101 1859 434,470 1863 752,546
While for 1865 the amount was £888,683.
The most important Element of the high prosperity of the Life Branch has been the exceedingly small amount of the General Expenditure charged against it, arising from the fact that the Fire Branch (while otherwise distinct) has, from its extraordinary magnitude, borne by far the largest proportion of the indispensable charges, such as those for Offices, Directors, Management, staff of Clerks, &c., leaving the Life Branch comparatively unweighted by expense.

SCOTT’S Internal System of DEFENCE AGAINST FIRE.
(1.) THE FIRE WATCH. TAYLOR’S PATENT FIRE-WATCH.
IS a simple apparatus, which will infallibly detect an incipient fire, and give prompt warning in the apartment where the fire is breaking out, and in others, however remote, by ringing a bell or bells—either in the building or outside it. It is simple and safe; introduces no dangerous material; never wears out; and consumes nothing whatever. When once fixed it will last a life-time, if not wilfully or carelessly injured. There is no doubt that ultimately it will be as common at sea as the compass, and on land as the clock.
Price of the portable Instrument complete, with Bell, from 25s. to 50s., according to style and finish.
SCOTT’S TUBULAR FIRE-WATCH, an improvement upon TAYLOR’S can be applied to any dwelling house, warehouse, factory, shop, or ship, by estimate.
* * * * *
(2.) THE EXTINGUISHER. PHILLIP’S PATENT EXTINGUISHER
IS the most effective self-acting Fire-Engine in existence. It will put out any fire that is confined to one apartment instantaneously; and may be used without difficulty, even by a boy or girl. It costs nothing to charge it; is a good garden Engine; an excellent window-cleaner; and in all respects thoroughly sound and reliable.
Price from £3 to £5 each, according to size and finish.
* * * * *
(3.) THE ESCAPE. SCOTT’S FAMILY FIRE ESCAPE
IS capable of being applied to any window from the inside, and will carry a family, in perfect ease and safety, from the highest story, in a few minutes. It is useful also for cleaning windows, and is an excellent lift for getting furniture and other goods into the house.
Price complete, £10.
We have also small Escapes for a man alone, at lower prices. But the Family Fire-Escape is applicable to almost every imaginable case, and may be fully depended upon.
Few fires can become serious on premises where these appliances are used.

THE FIRE DEFENCE COMPANY,
ESTABLISHED TO SUPPLY THE PUBLIC WITH SCOTT’S INTERNAL SYSTEM OF DEFENCE AGAINST FIRE
This System is based on the principle that private endeavour should precede public help, which at once suggests that the Internal ought to be the System proper, the External its supplement. The latter has obviously these inherent defects:—
1—Its appliances are necessarily outside the house in which the fire occurs; 2—They are very often remote from it; 3—They are so cumbrous and complex as to require a staff of strong well-trained men to work them.
Ours, on the contrary—1—Are Internal and always on the spot; 2—the most important of them are self-acting; 3—The whole are so simple and manageable that the most ordinary person may make effective use of them. We therefore supply exactly what is wanting.
How pressing the want is as regards life will be known to all who have not forgotten the many fatal fires of the present year—especially that at Swansea, and the equally awful one in Dublin, which together took away a dozen lives, most of them in their prime.
That property needs more protection than it now has is evident from the fact that the Insurance Companies are increasing their charges.
The last Annual Report of the Royal Insurance Company, as published in the “Daily Telegraph,” says:—
“The fire losses have amounted to £318,946, or nearly 77 per cent. on the premiums received. This is beyond the legitimate percentage, though less than the amount anticipated at one period of the year; and 10 per cent. less than the average ratio of loss recently announced authoritatively as falling upon three other well-known and highly respectable establishments of larger revenue during the year 1865. This combined experience affords, together with the still more disastrous results of some other companies, undeniable evidence that the premium charged upon fire insurance is at present unremunerative. This fact has, however, formed so universal a theme of regretful comment at recent meetings of fire offices, that the Directors content themselves with assuring the Shareholders that they are prepared for a re-arrangement of rates.”
See also the Speech of the Chairman of the Queen Insurance Company, at the last Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders, as given in “Gore’s General Advertiser.”
“Although the business of the Company up to the end of the year had been satisfactory, and had yielded a fair profit, the fire department had been of an unsatisfactory character, their average losses having reached 82½ per cent., which precluded the possibility of dividing anything whatever. He alluded also to the necessity of raising the premium as a general measure. (Sensation.) The Directors had run no risks which they ought not to run, they had gone into no field which their neighbours had not entered into before them, and they had taken every precaution; but fires were so perpetually happening on all sides that he saw no chance of making money.”
We submit that the true remedy for this grave state of things is our Internal System of Defence, which comprises Prevention, Detection, Extinction, and Escape. Very few fires can become formidable where it is established. It reduces the risks of Insurance Companies, to a minimum, by providing honest insurers, with the most effectual safeguard, and lessening as much as possible the chances of fraud. Prices and particulars on application to the undersigned, at the Companys’ offices, 551, Oxford Street, London. W.

CAUTION.
IF you have had the misfortune to loose a Tooth, or several Teeth, and wish to replace them economically, do not be led away by the false prices, and specious advertisements which are daily to be met with, in almost every newspaper, or other advertising medium. Recollect! that a very great deal of difference exists between “CHEAPNESS” and “LOWNESS OF PRICE.” “Artificial Teeth,” like various other things, may be obtained low in price, and yet be by no means cheap to the wearer, because, in nine cases out of every ten, they are generally badly constructed, and, if this is the case, “Artificial Teeth” on such a principle, must necessarily become EXPENSIVE articles however LOW the price of the same may be.
MESSRS. LEE, the old established Dentists, of Bayswater and Notting Hill, are led to make these remarks from the fact that rarely does a week pass, but they are consulted by patients who have in this manner (through some specious advertisement) not only paid a considerable price for a worthless piece of mechanism, but the mouth itself has been seriously and sometimes irremediably injured, by the imperfect adjustment and deleterious compositions that have been used.
All this might have been avoided if a respectable Dentist had been consulted in the first instance; and, possibly, half the expense saved by the patient.
MESSRS. LEE, in offering the benefit of their experience in all cases of Dental defect or deficiency, do so without apology, because it is with satisfaction to themselves that they, with certainty, can allude to the happy results attendant on their own exclusive system of Dentistry. Their long practical experience, in a large and daily increasing practice, enables them with confidence to guarantee to all who may consult them “A THOROUGH RESTORATION OF THE LOST TEETH, by replacing new ones fully equal (in all respects) and frequently FAR SUPERIOR, in durability and beauty, than the originals.”
MESSRS. LEE wish it to be thoroughly understood that there are so many adventitious circumstances always affecting the cost of properly constructed “Artificial Teeth,” that it becomes a matter of impossibility to make any particular rule subservient to every case, but they trust that the following scale of charges will enable any one wishing to consult them to form a general idea of the cost where no complication is present.
SINGLE TEETH 5/-, 7/6, 10/6, 15/-, AND 21/- EACH. PARTIAL PIECES 2, 4, 5, 7, 8, AND 10 GUINEAS. SETS OF TEETH 4, 5, 7, 8, 10, 12, 15, AND 20 Guineas.

MUSTARD POULTICES ENTIRELY SUPERSEDED by the use of COOPER’S
SINAPINE [Picture: Cooper’s Sinapine MUSTARD tissue trade mark] TISSUE, PAPER. TRADE MARK REGISTERED.
The new Mustard Poultice, recommended by the Faculty.
A most efficacious and convenient substitute for Mustard Poultice, possessing many advantages both in simplicity of application and in economy of time. In efforts are immediate, and equally distributed wherever the tissue may be applied; it can be removed without the least inconvenience either to the patient or the nurse.
EQUALLY SUITABLE FOR INFANTS AS WELL AS ADULTS.
DIRECTIONS FOR USE.
Well wet the part affected with lukewarm water, and apply as much Tissue as may be required, covering it with spongio-piline, or flannel, made wet with hot water. For Children, it should remain on from two to five minutes; for Adults, from five to fifteen minutes.
The Tissue is easily removed by moistening it with lukewarm water.
MEDICAL TESTIMONIALS.
Extract from the “SOCIAL SCIENCE REVIEW,” edited by BENJAMIN W. RICHARDSON, Esq. M.A., M.D., F.R.C.P., Senior Physician to the Royal Infirmary for Diseases of the Chest.
“Cooper’s Sinapine Tissue, Mustard Paper.—This is a thin paper charged with mustard, and forming a substitute for a mustard poultice. We have tried the Tissue practically, and find it answers all the objects of the mustard poultice, with the advantages of being cleanly and easy in application, and always ready. It is a great improvement.”
* * * * *
From EDWARD ELLIS, Esq., M.D. Physician to the Samaritan Free Hospital; late Physician to the North London Hospital for Consumption.
118, WARWICK STREET, BELGRAVIA, S. W., January 8th, 1866.
“SIR.—Since I became acquainted with your Sinapine Tissue, I have always recommended it in place of the ordinary Mustard Poultice, than which, in many cases, nothing can be more inconvenient of application; whereas the Tissue is light, cleanly, certain, and uniform in its action, and very easy to apply. The rapidity with which it produces the necessary effect a also a valuable quality. Altogether it is, in my opinion, a very useful invention.”
To Mr. A. COOPER.
EDWARD ELLIS, M.D.
* * * * *
From GEORGE DOWN, Esq., M.D., M.R.I.
To Mr. ALBERT COOPER,
KENSINGTON, February 20th, 1865.
I have for some time advised the use of your Sinapine Tissue in lieu of Mustard Poultices, and have amply observed its effect. It has given great satisfaction, and certainly possesses many advantages, namely, readiness of application, cleanliness, lightness, and a uniform diffusion of stimulation. Where there may be necessity to retain heat upon the part, a piece of spongio-piline, moistened with hot water and applied over the Tissue, answers admirably.
GEORGE DOWN, M.D. M.R.I.

Extract from Dr. SPENCER THOMSON’S “DICTIONARY OF MEDICINE.”
“Sinapine Tissue, or Mustard Paper.—In this article we have a most convenient, elegant, and efficient addition to our means of treatment. The Mustard Paper, made by Mr. Cooper, of Abingdon Terrace, Kensington, and introduced by him to the notice of Profession, acts very quickly and energetically, in the same way as a Mustard Poultice, without the disagreeables attendant upon that clammy and uncomfortable application, and it seems to leave less marks afterwards. From its energetic action, the time of application is necessarily the shorter than when the old form of Mustard Poultice is used.”

Patent Self-Protecting WATCH PENDANT,
BY GEO. SNOWBALL, 18, SPRING STREET, PADDINGTON, W.
* * * * *
THE intention of the Inventor is to give to the owners of valuable watches the security and confidence hitherto not enjoyed; as it is unhappily too well-known that the wearer of so useful an article as a watch is always in danger of having it wrenched from him. In many instances, gentlemen have discontinued to display their watch guards for fear of losing the watch attached to it, therefore being under the necessity of putting away a useful and elegant part of dress.
Watches made with the above improvement are keyless; the Watch being wound and the hands set to the time, and the Watch itself protected by this novel invention. The pendant being a universal joint, cannot be wrenched off.
The Self-protecting Pendant can be fixed to any Watch for a small cost.
The invention has been highly approved of by a number of scientific gentlemen.
A MAGISTRATE’S OPINION.
“The invention is an excellent one—the best of the kind that I have seen, as it prevents pick-pockets from wrenching the watch from the guard; and I consider it of great value in its tendency to lessen crime: the ease with which a watch can be wrenched from the guard by the bow, is the cause of Watch stealing being practised to so great an extent.”

SCOTT’S Internal System of DEFENCE AGAINST FIRE.
(1.) THE FIRE WATCH. TAYLOR’S PATENT FIRE-WATCH
Is a simple apparatus, which will infallibly detect an incipient fire, and give prompt warning in the apartment where the fire is breaking out, and in others, however remote, by ringing a bell or bells—either in the budding or outside it. It is simple and safe; introduces no dangerous material; never wears out; and consumes nothing whatever. When once fixed it will last a life-time, if not wilfully or carelessly injured. There is no doubt that ultimately it will be as common at sea as the compass, and on land as the clock.
Price of the portable Instrument complete, with Bell, from 25s. to 50s., according to style and finish.
SCOTT’S TUBULAR FIRE-WATCH, an improvement upon Taylor’s can be applied to any dwelling house, warehouse, factory, shop, or ship, by estimate.
* * * * *
(2.) THE EXTINGUISHER. PHILLIP’S PATENT EXTINGUISHER
Is the most effective self-acting Fire-Engine in existence. It will put out any fire that is confined to one apartment instantaneously; and may be used without difficulty, even by a boy or girl. It costs nothing to charge it; is a good garden Engine; an excellent window-cleaner; and in all respects thoroughly sound and reliable.
Price from £3 to £5 each, according to size and finish.
* * * * *
(3) THE ESCAPE. SCOTT’S FAMILY FIRE ESCAPE
Is capable of being applied to any window from the inside, and will carry a family, in perfect ease and safety, from the highest story, in a few minutes. It is useful also for cleaning windows, and is an excellent lift for getting furniture and other goods into the house.
Price complete, £10.
We have also small Escapes for a man alone, at lower prices. But the Family Fire-Escape is applicable to almost every imaginable case, and may be fully depended upon.
Few fires can become serious on premises where these appliances are used.
