TO WITHDRAW FROM VERMONT.

Largo Insurance Company to Cane u It's
Policies-An Immense Fire Loss for 80
The German American Insurance com
pany of New YORK, the sixth largest Amer
lean fire company, have Decided to with
draw from Vermont January |, 1872, oni
have ordered their eE-rt; t. cancoi all their
outstanding pollcie, IL this state at that
date. The fire loss OF 1S9l in this
country has been something appalling, over
Sl20, 900, 0O0 and parties holding stock III
most OF the companies will look in vain for
their January dividend, while the capital of
many other companies has become impair
ed and they have been freed to reinsure
their outstanding risks and retire from
business, thus reducing the aggregate
amount of insurance capital in this country
by large sum. Unless some method is
devised whereby the immt nse fire waste of
1891 can be prevented in the future de-
cided advance III rates may be expected.
Interview with GEN. r. :. Peck About its
Withdrawal from Vermont.
FREE Press reporter called upon Cen.
T. S. Peck who has represented the Ger
man American company in burlington for
many years and in whose office the COM
pany has made most excellent showing,
in fact by far the best showing of any of
its agencies i'll the state TO ma out Tue eN-
act situation in regard to its withdrawal
| from the State, of which mention was made
in this paper on Saturday last. 1t seems
that the article in question has been misun-
dsrstood by some OF the policy holders in
| this city, who thought they were to be left
without insurance. This is not SO, for al
though the company will withdraw from
the State on account of the severe losses
sustained, the policies will bs perfectly safe
in case of loss, as they will he carried in
other companies.
Gen. Peck states that there are many
other companies doing business in Vermont
whose policies are equally as good. a:
those mentioned in our issue of Saturday
and although the losses 10y fire have beer
severe, not only in Vermont, but all ovel
the country, there is enough perfectly re
liable fire insurance capital remaining to d'
all the business that Is required in TIN
State, aud there is no use in trying L
frighten the people.
The policy holders of the German Amerl
can need give themselves no uneasines
whatever in regard to the withdrawal o
this company for their interests in tn
future as in the past will be thoroughly pro
tected at Gen. Peck's agency.

SUGGESTIONS ON lAGRlPPE.
A Few Timely Hints From tho Medical
Profession.


Profession.
One of the leading physicians Of the city
who has treated an immense number Of
cases Of ''the popular mnlady" said ysster-
day to a reporter: "The present epidemic
OF grip has assumed extensive proportions
not only In this vicinity but also in the
south and east. 1t Is noticeable that most
persons who had 1t one or two years ago are
exempt from attacks this year, although
there few exceptions to this rule. In
some respects the disease is unlike the pre-
vious epidemlcs more particularly in the
fact that they do not seem disposed to de-
velope pneumonia; but the organs Of dges-
ton suffer most, with accompanying bron-
chial coughs which are quite distressing but
not dangerous. Most of those attacked are
taken suddenly with intense headache and
pains radiating to different parts of the
body. The temperature rises very rapidly
and there is u feeling of great prostration.
The acute distressing symptoms subsde
within 48 hours, leaving the patient very
much exhausted with loss Of appetite and
general arrangement OF digestion. A no.
tlceable feature Of the present epidemic, un
like the previous ones, is the inability OF
most OF the persons attacked to take quinine
or very much of alcoholic stimulant. Two
years ago the profession accepted the treat
ment of quinipe and stimulsnt, and felt
| that they had adopted the proper course,
but now it seems that this line Of treatment
is not to be borne by the patient, but that
relief follows confinement to the bed,
| liquid and nutritious diet with small doses
| of phenactine or acetanilide. The influence
of the disease upon the action of the heart
| is much il not more noticeable than in the
previous epidemic, and everyone should be
cautioned, however light the attack may
be, from doing physical labor. The NOR
tality in the present epidemic seems to be
very much less than heretofore, and from
present indications we are not to have 10
widespread an invasion of it. As the dis
ease, no doubt, depends upon atmospheric
causes, it is difficult Of course for anyone to
guard against attack, but personal atten-
ton to hygiene and avoidance Of excessive
physical labor and irregular eating will
affect much in warding off the disease.
1t is wise for anyone showing symptoms
of cold in the lungs or head to consider it
of enough importance to give up attention
to business and consult some medical au-
thority.
