A stud...y of the figures in detail, however, reveals some puzzling discrepancies. All of the persons whose deaths are included in the above-tabulated mortality presumably had passed the customary medical exami- nation and had been accepted as good life insurance risks. If the only material difference between the two classes was the fact that one class did not, and the other class did, use alcohol, might it not naturally be expected that the difference between the death-rates of the two classes would be a fairly constant differ- * This total as printed in the Proceedings of the Association differs by 90 from the sum of the figures in the column, indicating a probable typographical error in the column, as the ratio of actual to expected claims, 70.
