Suit by appellant against appellee to recover sick benefits, as proyided in an insurance policy issued by defendant to the plaintiff.

Plaintiff stated his cause of action in two counts.- The first followed substantially the Code form (Code 1907, p. 1196), with such difference in phraseology made necessary by this particular character of policy, and ,it was sufficient. The second count was more in detail, and the policy was made an exhibit thereto, and, a reference to paragraph 17 thereof indicates, in connection with the date of bringing the suit, that the action for recovery was prematurely brought. There were demurrers to each count of the complaint, and, one of the assignments of demurrer takes the point that the complaint shows upon its face the suit was prematurely brought. It thus appearing on the face of the complaint, the point may be taken by demurrer. 31 Cyc. 291. The court sustained the demurrer to the complaint. As to count 1, this was error; but, as to count 2, it does not appear to be questioned by counsel for appellant that this count was subject to the demurrer interposed.

There was a nonsuit, but no bill of exceptions appears. It is not questioned that the two counts sought the same recovery, the latter count stating the cause of action more in detail. This count disclosing the action as prematurely brought, probable injury to plaintiff in sustaining demurrers to the first count is not made to appear. It is error without injury, and reversible error is therefore not shown.

Let the judgment-be affirmed.

Affirmed.
