This section of The Quack Doctor is for newspaper ads and pictures I stumble on while researching the main blog. They are the bits and bobs that don’t fit the medical theme, but are interesting anyway!
There’s a second gallery page here.

Man Eaten by Cats
Picture 12 of 17
Illustrated Police News 11 Jan 1890 A HORRIBLE discovery was made at Carlisle last week. A man named Thomas Birkett, who lived by himself, had not been seen for some days, and his room was entered by the police. His dead body was found, the flesh of the face, the nose and ears having been completely devoured by cats, of which he kept several. Three of the creatures jumped out of the room when the window was opened.

This is a fascinating site, Caroline. There is one small danger here, I could spend hours if I don’t watch it. Excellent, well done but don’t forget my offer.

I returned to it in 2002, having left United Nations Association, the situation in the middle East and the UN secretary General who had hoped to go back for a second visit, had been prevented by the Americans. Why he could not have turned around and told them to mind their own business, I shall never know except I think he was caught by the short and curlies for the fact that the main UN building is on US soil. Frankly it should go back to Geneva where it originally started, having taken over the League of Nations
