Excerpt from Medical Examination for Life Insurance
The companies that deal only with the insurance of life - that is, against death - tend more and more to be amalgamated with one or other of the combined companies. The reason for this is convenience. The introduction of a proposer for one class of risk in such an office often leads to that office securing with a minimum of trouble and expense the other class of proposal. This is not without its effect on the medical selection of lives.
