The Mound City Mutual Life Insurance
Company being a Home Institution, it should
be preferred by citizens of the South for ma
nv reasons. We will. however, enumerate
only two or three.
|. The money invested in it is retained at
home, where it assists in promoting Western
and Southern trade and commerce, in build
inc ND towns and cities. in developing our
rich mineral and agricultural resources, in
building our great lines of railroad, and in
~cnltivating our boundless prairies. For these
reasons Southern and Western men should
insure in it.
2. As its funds are all invested where high
rates of interest prevail, it can grant insurance
cheaper and pay better dividends than any
Eastern Company. For this reason all per-
sons desiring to make a certain and safe pro-
vision for their families, should insure in 1t.
3. Its Local Board Of Louisiana Directors
being composed of men Of high standing in
the Community. is a sufficient guarantee that
widows and orphans will be protected in their
rights, when policies issued by this. Company
mature by reason Of death or otherwise. This
feature is peculiar to this compBny, Ono other
institution beyond the limits of the State hav-
ing a local board,) and is, therefore,, worthy
of the highest consideration.
All kinds of Policies are issued by this COM
pany. All policies non-forfeiting.
This company makes no charge for policy,
fee or stamps,
The Louisiana Branch Office is at No. SO
Carondelet street, New Orleans.

TREATMENT OF SATISFACTORILY.
Whitehill recommends as the most c
cessful plan, the application Of cold to
the head and chest, friction of the ex-
tremeties, and the internal administration
of ~stimulants, such as brandy and am
.monia. Place the patient in the recum-
bent position in the shade, where there
il a free circulation Of fresh ar, and
at the tam time disencumber him Of
everything that could in any way in
terfere with either circulation or respi-
ration. DIR. hutchinson recommends
hypodermic injection Of one-fourth grain
sulf. morph, followed by frictions with
ice. The effect Of the morphia is prompt
and salutary. Sometimes it is necessa-
~ to continue the treatment with bran
dy either by mouth or as enema.
