of considerable interest iu respect to drunkards It was decided to what extent the habit of intemperance may void 1 policy of insurance In this case the person insured died In about eight months after taking the policy and it that at the time of collecting insu rance and from that lime till he died he was addicted to habitual intemperance and from this his death resulted The Court divided the drinking classes into three classes those who drink some times and upon occasions as it were more by accident than other wise but in so exceptional a man ner that no one can say they have any habit or regard to such uses those who acquire a constant appe tite for intoxicating liquors and a regular habit of using them so the system is kept under alcoholic and those who while remaining sober for a month three or six months or even a year at a time and refuse to take any drink then go on a debauch for a greater or less period These two latter classes were held to come within prohibition of this policy which stipulated that if the insured should die by reason of ance from the use of intoxicating liquors the policy should be void and of uo effect iu the reference the insured ordinarily an efficient business man belongs to the class whose constitutionally nervous appetite for alcoholic stimulants amounts to a disease and whose excess no earthly con sideration or persuasion can arrest until prostration and sickness compel cessation The Court there fore entered a judgment for the company reversing the decision of the Court below price it would bring al a fair sale vol wear ot all
