THE MetropoUtan Life Insurance
Company began publishing
"Health Hints" for its policyholders in
1871 and ever since "has carried on
its efibrts toward better health, j
The Company cooperated with! gov
ernment . officials in a campaign
against a threatened cholera epi
demic in 1892 and thus began its co
operative work with public health
organizations
In further developing its activities in
the field of health, the Metropolitan
organized its Welfare Division in
1909 and, at about the same time, a
nation-wide nursing service was estab
lished for Industrial policyholders.
Subsequent health records demon
strate the value of these services.
During all these years the Company
has worked shoulder to shoulder
with national, state 'and local health
organizations to stamp out prevent
able disease.
New low mortality figures were re
corded in 1934 for practically all of
the diseases against which public
health forces have directed special
preventive efforts notably typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, diphtheria, infant
mortality and maternal mortality.
During this year the good record of
previous years continued to obtain
among Metropolitan policyholders.
