This is a very dangerous disease,
particularly to children under five
years of age, but when no paragoric,

from the disease when this remedy is

AMERICANS SEEK
FREAK INSURANCE
PAY FIVE MILLION DOLLARS
TO LLOYDS EACH YEAR.
UNIQUE POLICIES.

Lloyds, of London, takes S5,OOO,OOO
annually out of the United States by
writing freak insurance. Most OF its
policies are written through CORE
spondents stationed in New York city.
Pianists' fingers, dancers legs, sing
ers' voices, astronomers eyes and
even the lives of animals in vaudeville
are included in risks taken out by the
big English insurance firm.
A remarkable feature is that seldom
do the underwriters lose on these
queer policies, so close do their agents
keep tab on conditions.
Fighters Hands Insuranced.
One correspondent in the United
States has insured a prize fighters
hand for $4,000. The conditions stip-
ulated are unusual The pugilist has
to weigh in every day and card index
his weight, which is fixed in the pol
icy Twice a month he has to report
to a certain doctor for physical ex-
animation, and he can accept no dates
for fstic encounters until they have
been approved by cable. In behalf OF
the beneficiary it is arranged that the
underwriters pay in United States cur
rency should his hands be injured
There is a man out in Kansas who
owns an orchard of 1000 apples trees,
each capable of yielding from five to
eight bushels. Lloyds have taken him
on" for a crop valuation of $35,0O0 at
an eight per cent rate against frost.
Future Price of Cotton.
Application has been made by a
North Carolina planter for a policy OF
100000 that the price of cotton this
year would not fall below 20 cents.
London considered this price too high,
but for ten per cent is willing to write
the policy that it will not fall below
II cents.
Few theatregoers know that Mitzi
Hjaos, the coincidence, carried $751;
900 Lloyds policy that guaranteed her
eccentric dance. The entire Russian
ballet on a memorable visit to Ameri-
ca was insured for $750000 at a cost
of about $500. All sorts of hazards
were enumerated in the policy from
death and sickness to losses in trans
portation and possible injury to spec
tatorS.
The reason that Lloyds has a mo-
nopoly upon his freak business is be-
cause in England crown charter can
be obtained to cover every class of in
surance In the United States the only
nation wide insurance is the bonding
and surety business under quarterly
supervision.
