The Equitable Life Assurance Society of
the United States, has taken three important
steps in advance of other companies, thus
guaranteeing its pohcy-holders against loss
and annoyance
/. It's policy contract is simple and con-
else, containing only such reasonable condi-
tons as are necessary for the protection of
policy-holders.
2. After three years the policy becomes
INCoNTEsTABLE.
3. All such incontestable policies are pay
able, without rebate of interest, Immediately
upon the receipt, at the Society's Office in
New York, of satisfactory proofs of death,
with valid and satisfactory discharge from
the parties in interest, and without requiring
any delay, even for sixty or ninety days, as
has been the custom heretofore, and is still
usual with other companies.
While many companies report large sums
for resisted death claims, the Equitable
closes its books at the end of the year with
out single contested claim.
All standard forms of Life, Endowment
and Annuity Policies are issued by the
Equitable, including Tontine Savings Fund
Policies, which show larger returns than any
other form of insurance.
Eouitable's new business of 1881, the
largest of any company in the world.
The only other company whose business
has approached that of the Equitable during
recent years, wrote Eleven Million and half
LESS than the Equitable in 1881.
Equitables business for last eleven years
represented by total amount of new assur-
ance written the largest of any company in
the world.
Liberal surrender values. Annual divi-
dends. Moderate premium rates. All cash.
Purely mutual.
Before insuring, examine the Tontine Saw
ings Fund Form of Policy introduced by the
Equitable.
Full explanations of this form of insurance;
examples showing the large dividends and
surrender values paid and strong letters
from policy-holders endorsing the plan, may
be obtained at any of the Society's Offices
throughout the world.

he was, rather, carried to the Doctors office,
for he was totally helpless. and bore the weight
OF 80 years besides. He had suffered long from
Retention OF Urine, and had all the symptoms
OF an aggravated case OF calculus formations
in the bladder. The usual instrumental ex-
animation revealed the presence in the bladder
OF urinary calculus OF uncommon size. DR..
Kennedy frankly told Mr.. Westfall that, ow-
ing to his age and debility, an operation was
out OF the question, but that he could, by the
prescription Of "Kennedy's Favorite Remedy,

The outcome OF this was that the patient en-

a fair sample of the kind of work Thomas
w. Ferry has done all over the State. He
has assumed the character of State boss as

Conkling and Cameron have been rebuked

The Journal is not by any means alone in

II is not an absolute necessity, however, that
