Excerpt from Medical Handbook of Life Assurance for the Use of Medical and Other Officers of Companies In issuing our Fourth Edition, we have to offer our thanks for the warm reception which this work has received not only from the Medical Profession but from the lay officials of Life Insurance Companies. We believe that in many instances a greater uniformity of rating second-class lives has been attained, and at all events by formulating certain proposals for this end, the attention of Medical Advisers of Companies has been especially directed to the subject. Quite recently an Association of Medical Officers of Companies has been formed for the purpose of an interchange of knowledge and of obtaining a greater precision in advising. Advances have been made in the treatment for insurance purposes of proposers who have suffered from temporary Albuminuria or Glycosuria, and particularly where Mitral Disease has been so long tolerated as to offer rational grounds for receiving, with an addition to the premium, cases which were formerly declined. The great increase of Life Assurance in the Colonies, and especially in South Africa, Canada, Australia, and India, had almost tempted us to write some special paragraphs on the climatic conditions and diseases of those countries, but the subject is too large for our purpose, and could not with propriety be included in this work.
