SHE WAS EXAMINED, ANYHOW.
A Big Life Insurance Company Did
1t and 1t Cost Nothing at All.

"A Big Life Insurance Company Did
1t and 1t Cost Nothing at All.
The New York Medical Record tells of
an ingenious way by which a rich woman
OF that city managed TO have medical
examination of her case free of expense.
Recently she became alarmed about her
health and feared that she had Bright's
disease. From the ordinary professional
ro,nt OF view there wasinothing to do but
to be examined by her family physician,
and then, if she had real trouble, to put
herself under his carei
But this wasn't the woman's view, for a
thorough physical examination would be
expensive. She didn't want to die for
lack of treatment If she was really Ill;
and, on the other hand, il she did not need
treatment, there was no use in wasting
money on an examination. Examination at
dispensary would be free, of course, but
then it might not be thorough enough. She
might trust the dispensary doctor to treat
her If she had Bright's disease, but she
would hot trust diagnosis.
SO this resourceful lady of frugal mind
bettought herself of another scheme. She
made application for life insurance in large
amount, so large, indeed, that the rules of
the company called for an examination by
two physicians before accepting her as
risk. The two examiners, both experienced
and competent men, called at her house by
appointment and subjected her to most
painstaking examination. Not long after
she received notice from the company that
she had been accepted. and replied that
she had changed her mind aud would not
be insured at present.
