INSURANCE MEN TAKING NOTICE Our last Bulletin told how one of th# policy holders of the Prudential Insur knee Company living in Detroit, Mich., Mrs. D* R. Johnstone of 109 Jones street, was bedridden with Bright’s Disease and death was expected when she was put on the Renal Compound. She made a fine recovery and saved the payment of a loss. This resulted in another policy holder of the Prudential Ins. Co. in the same city, who was nearly down and out with Bright's Dis ease, being put on the treatment. At last advices this case, too, was going right. We now have a letter from a Sacra mento man in which he says: “I am in the life insurance business and once in a while the Doctor has to “pass up’’ a prospect. Since I know that your Compound is a wonder, why can *t T put these people on it and fit them for examination. I will say that I may present you with a hill for $6,000.00 for the praise I have given your Com pound.' ’ He is not the first party who ba, ! seen this opportunity. One of the । State officials of Nevada came to see ua and outlined a proposition to estab lish an insurance company to insure the lives of people having Bright 's Disease and Diabetes, charging double the or dinary rates and putting them on this I , treatment. Numbers have been fitted ( | for insurance, although some of them j were actually in extremis. For in- I j stance, in our pamphlet will be found 1 ! the case of Mrs. R. Lester Bell, of An : I ( burn, N. Y. who was in the Aubnrn Hos pital aud was expected to die during the week when put on Fulton’s Renal; Compound. One year from that time ’ she passed for life insurance. The ease of Chas. F. Wacker, the 6th J street merchant of San Franeiseo, also | I comes to mind in this connection. He j did not think he could live but a lew months, and was nearly down and out with diabetes when put on Fnlton ’ i Diabetic Compound. He later passed , for $5,000.00 life insurance. An interesting fact in Wacker’s case was that a bereavement set up a ner voua condition that caused the disease to reappear and he was very much dis eouraged. due to the fact that he ha<l । not been cured. However he went on the Compound again and made the sec- j ond recovery and now looks like an ath lete.
