POLICY HAD EXPIRED.

William Sullivan, confectioner,
had been carrying an accident insur-
ance policy, which allowed him about
$25 per week in ease of accident, for
a long time, but took a notion about
two weeks ago TO give 1t up and did
so. During the time he carried the
insurance nothing happened, but this
week he was putting a can of cream
down in the ice in an ice box and the
ice being quite silod he was compel
led to use considerable pressure to
get the can in and in doing so one of
his fingers caught between the ice
and the can and was badly mashed.
DR.. ~Treganowan dressed the finger
and said it was a bad wound and if
Mr.. Sullivan was still holding the
policy he could have drawn the
money for a while as the nail of the
finger will come off and he is liable
to suffer with it for some time. 1t
has been so painful that he had not
been able to sleep at night part of the
time. Hold on to your accident
policies.
