We are glad to know, however, that a
different feeling now pervades the conf
munity, not only here, but throughout the
entire country. Already deep feeling has
taken hold of the medical profession, and
they are everywhere through the medical
Journals and newspapers, urging upon the
authorities, and the people, the necessity of
the speedy adoption Of thorough and effi-
cient sanitary measures, in view of the ex-
pected visitation of the Epidemic
And the people In many places are re-
spending to these warnings. Meetings
have already been held In many of the
cities and towns throughout the land, and
a determination manifested, as far as posi-
BILE, to adopt means to rob the disease of its
horrors and to lessen the number of its
victims.

BROOKLYN LIFE INSURANCE Co.--Atten-
ton Is directed to the card of Messrs. John
& Boyer, General Agents for the Brook
lyn Life Insurance Company. This com
pany ranks high among the life corpora
tions of the day. A New York cotempo-
rary says
1t is rising company of remarkable
energy and yigor, and although but in the
second year ofits establishment, its progress
is distinguished by the most uncheuuered
success. Its issue Of policies within a given
time has been greater In number than many
OF the older companies and 1t now enjoys
all the advantages of the increasing dispo-
sition of the people OF the States to enter
upon life insurance. disposition which,
by its unceasing activity, IL has largely
contributed to promote.
The principles upon which the company
Is based are of the most liberal character,
and the tables of mortality In use are
those most indulgent to the insurant, and
founded upon calculation of increased
longevity. The company has also adopted
the non-forfciting clause, by which the I
cruel system of cancelling policy for /
after many years of pay I
ment Is rejected, SO that now, ii after three |
years insurance an insurant Is unable to |
Sohtihuc tllt pdynneuL vi MS premiums, /
his policy is exchanged for one lnsurlng |
his life for the full amount that he may
have contributed in premiums. upon which /
no further payment Is demanded.
These generous maxims have not been
unacknowledged. 1t has led to great in
crease in life insurance, and has been one
of the great features OF success of this
which need but persevere In its
present liberal course to become greater
with every year of its age.
We will not dismiss this subject without
stating that in its division of profits last
year the company declared dividend of
forty per cent. to its policy holders. and
retained profits ample enough 20 have made
lt fifty per cent This Is not only the
strongest evidence of the substantial char
lcter of the company, but of the cautious
yet vigorous manner in which its affairs
are conducted.
The agents, Messrs. john d Boyer, are
both gentlemen of excellent business ca
Dacity and are well known for their energy
md promptness. Their Office Is Room No.
