Epidemic

A Dictionary of Law
See Disease; Health. When, in a policy of insurance, it does not appear that the word "epidemics" was understood by the parties in any other than its popular sense, evidence is not admissible to change that meaning. The insurer may stipulate for exemption from liability for any disease that may by possibility prevail to an extent which could be called epidemic.
