The snbIic Want ouantit,.

In mixing a medicine or filling a pre-
seription the great bulk OF the fluid
used is ure water. Customers fire.
ouentlv overlook this, and some of the
remarks about cheap and dear medi
cines are quite amusing. All drugs in Il
concentrated form are expensive, while
almost any drug may be so diluted as
70 make il appear very cheap. This Is
especially the ease with homeopathic
remedies. Mother tinctures are more
than 1000 times as strong a. some OF
the dilutions commonly purchased, but
few buyers note the fact. Several pat
ent medicine makers fell into the error
of overlooking this peculiar trait in hu.
man nature.
They put up their cure-alls in highly
concentrated form for the convenience
of customers and ordered the addition
of more water ia the directions for use.
The sale fell 10 zero at once, while those
who had sense enough o give large bot

esorl1s OF FIRE INSURANCE.

OoiDg Business on Ten TO Twelve h0h
Cent. and Making No Money.
W. have It on the authority OF a
Hartford EXPERT that there is today not
a single fire insurance company N the
country earning any money out OF us
business. This is rather an astonishing
assertion. but the assertion is made that
II Is based on facts. IL it were not for
the surplus, consisting of invested funds,
there is not a company in America that
could probably pay its stockholders q
dollar today.
Ten years ago it was considered per
fectIy legitimate to make a pront OF
from 25 to 80 per cent. on the whole
business. Today the most successful
companies are doing business on 10 70
~ per cent, and taking into account
the contingencies none is making money.
Since 1873, 206 insurance companies
have failed, gone out of business, or 10
insured their risks in other companies
To be sure, some Of these were honor
able retirements from a business In
which they saw no money, and the sew
eral companies paid back handsomely;
but many were bad failures. MOI were
they petty corporations either.
The fact of the matter is, the day for
large profits in the insurance business
has gone by. Competition Is 10 great
that existing companies must content
themselves with a very small margin OF
profit. The present state of affairs IS
that the profits being made are not
large enough. considering the contin-
rencies of the business, 20 add 10 the
surplus. In 1890 every company doing
business on the Pacific coast lost money
through the five unprecedented contia-
grations that occurred there.
Hartford has a vital interest in the
outlook. Manifestly these great losses
cannot be prevented, and apparently
the contingency can be met only 10y
-utting down expenses. IL Is a fact
worth noting that the difference in the
expense account Of some of our big
l Hartford companies and certain OF
their New York rivals amounts 10
very handsome sum yearly.
of course all this competition innure'
