The court below sustained the motion, and in this we can see no error.\nThe plaintiff alleged in his complaint: \u201cThat on or about......December, 1932, while the contract or policy of insurance was still in force, the existing contract between the plaintiff and defendant, and while all premiums then due by the plaintiff to the defendant had been paid, the plaintiff became totally and permanently disabled, having been and still being prevented from performing any work or from conducting any business for compensation or profit.\u201d This was denied by defendant.\nAfter reading carefully the evidence on the part of plaintiff, we do not think, taking it in the light most favorable to plaintiff, that- it sustained the allegations of his complaint.

The policy defined total and permanent disability as follows: \u201cFor the purposes of this policy contract, disability shall be deemed to be total when it is of such nature that the insured is prevented thereby from engaging in any occupation or performing any work for compensation or profit, and such total disability shall be deemed to be permanent when it is present and shall have continued uninterruptedly for a period of at least three months; but the entire and irrecoverable loss of the sight of both eyes, or the severance of both hands at or above the wrist, or both feet at or above the ankle, or of one entire hand and one entire foot will of itself be considered as total and permanent disability, without reference to the duration of the disability.\u201d\nJ. Faison Thomson for plaintiff.\nLangston, Allen & Taylor for defendant."
