leaped behind the bed.

Talking of patent medicines-you know
the old prejudice. And the doctors some OF
them are between you and us. They would
like you to think that what's cured Thousands
won't cure you. You'd believe in patent med
lcines if they didn't profess to cure eUerythinS
and so. between the experiments of doctors
and the experiments of patent medicines that
are sold only because there's money in the
stuff" you lose faith in everything.
And, you can't always tell the prescription
that cures by what you read in the papers. So
perhaps, there's no better way to sell RENE
dy, than to tell the truth about it, and take the
risk of its doing just what it processes to do.
That's what the Worlds Dispensary Medical
Association, of Buffalo, N. Y, does with DIR

In SU RANCE.
WHAT THE
WGStGTnhSuralCG Review Says
In its issue of February, 1892.

I'VE had thought we were pretty well ac-
quainted with the WASHINGTON LIFE IN
SURANCE COMPANY of New York. On the
contrary, we are only just now getting on in
innate terms with one of its very best and
strongest features, namely the superior char
acter of its assets. According to our analysis,
over ninety-two per cent. of this company's as
sets are of the best and safest classes known to
the world of finance. Here is how we reach
that conclusion: The best assets life insur-
ance company can have are loans to policy
holders secured by reserves The Washington
has $27S, "a in such loans. Cash in hand
is certainly safe. The Washington has S247,-
70S OF cash money. A company that pays
losses, as this one does, by the first mail or ex-
press after satisfactory proofs are in, has need
for fair amount of ready money. Prudent
ly selected real estate, owned outright, is
safe, and, generally, is q profitable asset. The
Washington has, at cost value, S501 ,S1S.25 of
such real estate. But the bulk of the above
ninety-two per cent. consists of first-lien loans
on real estate. The Washington has S0,541,-
1872. 81 in such loans. The property securing
those loans is valued at nineteen million dol
lars.
I'VE emphatically admire and commend the
Washington LIES financial tactics in pinning
itself right down to United States soil. There
is nothing safer and more profitable in the
long run than American earth. The policy
holder need not worry who knows that the
funds which back up his policy are loaned on
real estate worth double the amount. Though
banks may crash and great bonded corpora
tons may default, the real estate stays-it can
not run away nor be stolen. AS to value,
when the population of this country perma-
nently ceases to increase, then it may be ex-
pected that average real estate values will
cease to advance, but not until then.
In taking the course which we have men,
toned regarding real estate loans, the Wash
ington Life is on the safest side of safety. 1t is
our privilege to remark incidentally that the
Washington is thoroughly fair and straight
forward company. If any policy-hslder is
under any misapprehension concerning his
rights, 1t is either because he does not ask for
information or because he cannot understand
plain and candid English.
