Louisiana Equitable Life Insurance Conn

pany.
In another column in this mornings edition
will be found the result of the annual election for
directors of this admirable home institution, and
ALSO the result Of the election OF the President,
Vice President and other officers OF the company.
A glance at the names of the gentlemen in
whose hands the business OF the company Is en-
trusted will be sufficient to inspire confidence on
She part OF all our people, and we congratulate
the policy holders upon having their interests
guarded by those who are 30 eminenty able to
protect them.
In this connection we desire to call the atten-
ton or our readers and the public generally to
the unusual and excellent safeguards thrown
around insurers by the law passed At the late ses
son OF our Legislatures law which became
necessary from the shameful and enormous
frauds perpetrated by several large life insurance
companies ut the North, and which. while u en-
sures the policy holder agaiost official mali as
ance and raseality, does 40 injury to the COM
papies themselves On the contrary, serving as .
safeguard 10 good companies and bearing hardly
on the bad.
By the law all life insurance companies are re-
uuired to report 81 the state Audi or the issuance
OF every policy and all the important facts con-
nected Herewith, aud also to make annually q
report OF such policies as have ceased to be in
force together with the amount OF reserve re-
quired on the others, which amount must be
Kept on deposit with the Auditor.
II will be seen ut glance that this makes OF
life Insurance. mich more safe investment for
the insurer, and gives guarantee for the fulhll-
ment of the contract entered into by the com :
pany which cannot but be satisfactory. Tho
Louisiana Equitable, therefore, 10 as safe and re-
liable company as there liz in the country and
deserves the patronage OF our people.

One Of the institutions In this city

times is the
CASTER HOUSE.
We visited that celebrated hotel,
to-day, and although this is a general
time Of rest the house is full.
Among other patients to whom we
were introduced was a young lady,
now nearly well, who stated to us
that she had not walked for nearly
eight years until she visited DR.. q.
She walks now almost as well as any
person. A gentleman brought to the
house, he informed us himself, in the
last stages of consumption, was one
of the gayest Of the gay, the last per-
son you would take for an invalid,
and rapidly improving.
THE DOCTORS BONE YARD
is q regular curiosity shop, contain
ing clutches, canes, machinery Of oil
sorts for the purpose Of relieving
pain and enabling the wearers to
travel, supports, pads, and nearly
everything you could think Of to
help a man along through tho world
after nature had given up the job.
These relics, the Doctor says, the
former owners had no further use
for and left the infirmary, in almost
every instance, able to take are of
themselves without any mechanical
and frequently entirely
sound and well. At an early day
we shall take occasion to visit the es-
tablishment again and will give u
best impressions of the institution.
A visit will well pay any person.
