sured may e\\her jmrticipate in the profits to the extent o/'two-thirds, which is the same with
what is generally divided by Mutual Assurance Societies, and at the same time are secured
against aU responsibility by the large capital of the Corporation, or may pay a less Premium
for securing a specific sum without periodical additions 3. Premiums may be made payable
either in a Single payment, or by Annual, Ilalf-ycarhj, or Quarterly Payments 4. Where
Policies effected by parties on their own lives, are assigned to others for onerous causes, the
holders are assured against the risk of the original assured dying by suicide or duelling 5.
