At first no disease is apparently more harmless than dropsy; a little swe.ling of the eyelids, hands, feet, ankles or abdomen, Finally there is Igreat shortness of breath, cough, faint spells, sometimes nausea and vomiting, even bursting of the limbs and a lingering and wretched death if the dropsy is not removed. | Dr. Miles has been known as a lead- ing specialist in these diseases for 30 years. His liberal offer of a $3.75 Treatment free to all sufferers, is cer- tainly worthy of serious considera- tion. You may never have such an opportunity again. The Grand Dropsy Treatment con- sists of four dropsy remedies in one, also Tonic Tablets and Pura-Laxa for |removing the water. This treatment is specially prescribed for each pa- tient and is three times as success- ful as that of most physicians. It usually relieves the first day, and re- moves swelling in siv days in most cases. Delay is dangerous. Send for Remarkable Cures in Your State.

MARVELOUS RECORD The Montana Life stands alone in propottionate gain of insurance in force. North Dakota stands first among general agencies. 8, D. COOK General Agent at Bismarck The annual report of the Montana Life Insurance Company, of Helena, at the close of business December 31, 191 shows a marvelous record of progress and increase in every branch of the Company’s business, especially in view of the fact that the company has actually transacted bus- iness for an approximate period of only six years. Among the items of special inter- est disclosed by the report is the statement that at the close of the ; year insurance in force amounted to $16,014,759, of which $14,500,000 is Montana business, which credits this -institution with approximately as much business in force in its own pay more or get hat must. be j the Gordon hat rr oo ae (_ l l peooaeeentees BISMARCK DAILY TRIBUNE An Exceptional Record The Montana Life Insurance Company, of Helena, reports as follows: During the year 1916, the issued and paidfor new business amounted to $6,103,890.00, of which’ $5,085.500.00 was placed in the State of Montana. On December 31, 1916, at the end of six full years of business activity, the net amount of business in force totaled $16,014,759.00. The total gain in insurance in fore¢,aUKIHg' the year 1916 amounts to $4,535,890.00 a greater proportionate record of gain thananyother Company doing business in this section of the country. The total assets of the Company on December 31, 1916, amounted to $1,519,012.32 an in- crease during the year of $293,190.74.

Another startling feature is the ex- traordinary volume of issued and paid-for new business during the year 1916, amounting to the grand total of $6,103,890.00 of which $5,086,500.00 was placed on the lifes of citizens of Montana. In view of the fact that the most important factor in the progress of a life insurance company is not the business written, but the annual in- crease in business, the record in this instance, giving an increase of $4,- 535,890.00, shows a greater propor- tionate gain than any other institu- tion of like character. The total assets of the company on December 31st, 1910. was $421,000.00, while on December 31, 1916, they had increased to $1,519,012.32.

There is now on deposit with the State Department securities amount- ing to $703,150.00, which equals the full legal reserve liability on all bus- iness in force in compliance with the very rigid and protective statutes of this state governing the operations of domestic life insurance companies. ‘Perhaps the most remarkable feat- ure of the annual statement shows a net surplus of $350,768.73 in excess of all liabilities, which, including the capital stock, establishes a surplus for the protection of policyholders, in excess of the legal reserve, of $600,- 768.73.
