Homeopathic Life Insurance.

There is so great difference in doctors, in their theory and practice aad their success, that it seems the most natural thing in the world (though we do not know thaflt ever has been done except in one or two instances) for Life Companies to graduate their charges for Insurance according to the skill and intelligence of the party’s family physician. This idea is being carried out with remarkable success by the Homoeopathic Mutual Life Insurance Company of New York. Its last statement, pub; lished on Jan. 1,1875, shows that during the last seven years it has insured 5,173 persons who employed Homoeopathic practice, of whom thirty-eight—three-fourths of 1 per cent.—have died in that period, while out of 1,635 persons insured who did not employ Homoeopathic physicians fifty—dr over 3 per eent.—have died This would seem almost incredible were it not backed up by other reliable statistics which the company has collected from other sources, and which it has also published and largely distributed. But the “ Homoeopathic Mutual” clinches its belief by its practice, and boldly offers to insure jts adherents at rates from 10to 12 percent, less than-the regular terms. It evidently means business; and, according to its statement, appears tube among the soundest and most vigorous of the younger companies. Parties desiring further infer■nation or to act as agents can obtain all statistics by addressing the Company, 231 Broadway, New York. It is not so much what a man earns as what he saves that makes him independent. In many lines of business the margin of profit Is so small that only the most judicious management and strictest economy can keep the concern afloat. Hence it is that so many apparently flourishing establishments go under at the very first symptom of financial shakiness. ..
