The Pi 
the VITAL statistics of tiik 
United Suites show that, periodical fevers 
and acute and chronic disorders of the stomach 
and bowels, are among the most prominent and 
fatal diseases in this country. Disobedience to 
the laws of health, as regards diet; the use of 
pernicious stimulants; and the wear and tear of 
business excitement, and of “fast life” general¬ 
ly, have much to do with the prevalenceof these 
maladies in our cities; while in the West, and 
especially in the newly opened districts, they 
are chiefly due to inaJaria, unwholesome water, 
and the exposure and privation incident to life 
in new sol Moments. 
Now, it ts a fact that it is as possible to prn- 
t i et the human system against I he*e maladies, 
as to guard life and properly against tho incur¬

The li ii sines* mid financial position ot the Now Turk Eife Insurance Company, at the 
dose of 1888, will excito more than usual Interest in tho general public; aud he especially gratifying to 
Its policy-holders. Last year the operations of this Company were a success unparalleled by any of its 
previous annual achievements. Not only in the general growth of revenue ami assets, but in tho speci¬ 
fications of Its accounts is the exhthlt for 1368 especially noteworthy. Nearly one-lmif of its disburse¬ 
ments were for dividends to policy-holders, yet the further dlvtsiihle surplus at tho close of the year was 
£1,689,282.17, being still greater than the previous annual dividend. The interest account (Including 
premium on gold, Xu.,) shows a great Increase; Income from this source alone was more than adequate 
to pay the losses, and was 57 per cent, gam ns compared with tho corresponding receipt* of ;so‘ 7 . q') le 
gain in new policies was 2,508 above the total of 1807, being an aggregate for the year of 9,1ft, new poli- 
cies—an average of 175 per week. All the details prove thorough work a widening circle of influence — 
higher results to its policy-holders und the engrossing of a larger share of public attention. A great
