Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Medical Examinations for Life Insurance
Artists. Painters and Sculptors rank among the best risks, particularly when the former sketch from nature, and the latter merely model. Portrait paint ers, and sculptors who cut marble themselves, are not as good risks. Photographers and Daguerreotypists rank second class.
Artisans and mechanics. Painters using lead and oil are undesirable risks, yet need not be wholly rejected. Workers in phosphorus and quicksilver stand upon the same level. Stone cutters and millers, and similar occupations, where insoluble or irritant particles find constant access to the pulmonary surface.
