NOW tork L.fe Insurance Compasny.
An old merchant whose business ex
periences and observations extend over
a period exceeding half a century, is
authprity for the assertion that"money
made by speculation is nearly invari
ably lost in the same way, and that all
groat and lasting commercial successs
have been achieved by steady adher
ence to legitimate methods and six per
eat. interest." The general policy of
tihe New York Life Insurance Company
would seem to have been fashioned
after some such ultra-conservative but
prosaie model, for this ancient corpora
tion claims to hold rigidly to accepted
methods and beaten paths. One happy
r:esult of this careful policy is observed
in its exemption from vicissitudes. The
entire accumulations were, in 1873,
twenty-four millions, and the surplus
less than three and a half millions of
dollars; these figures are at the end of
seven years, the worst ever known in
the history of life insurance, respec
tively thirty-nine millions and seven
millions, and ever since that date the
receipts for interest alone have exceed
ed the amount of death claims. There
were issued during the past year liye
thousand five hundred and twenty-four
polties, insuring something more than
seventeen millions of dollars. This
number and amount could, no doubt,
have been exceeded had the company
been willing to incur additional ex
poense. 'l'lTe object seems to have been
to keep the amunt at risk up to the
usual mark at $127,500,000, and enable
the company to hold its own until a
better asiurane of a general business
revival encouraged a Iu tier expansion,
for t,his company's specialty is safety
not display.
,S'ubstilttt, for Ualomel.-Su liphate of
manganese is now heing introdlneed as
a subatitt, for mercury in the varlot s
billions troubles. In Jaundice, hepa
tie dropsy and hypochondriasis it is
stated to have produleed most remarka
ble results, and in hemorriloids and in
congestion of the lances and bronchitis
it is proved no less eilleaciotrs. Antae
m'e patients, who cau;o: tal e any of the
preparations of iron, are enat>la d to take
iron with two to live grains of sulphate
of' manganese. It is found preferable
to uliarinistor the manganese in ten
gratins to a scruple dhose in a glass of
water, adding a little citrate of mtag
nesta to c.uuse effervescence. By three
uioses large bilioust dejections are pro
ducetd. lialfta drachin is said to be the
uitmost dose ever necesary, ton grains
brini usually quite suficient.
