Burton described the claimant's condition in South America. A Dublin barber recognised a scar on the back of the claimant's head, and medical men described scars on his body.

For homoeopatha and invalida we could not recommend a more agreeable or valuable beverage." Sold in packets only by all Grocers, of whom aiao may be had Taylor Brothers' Original Homceopathic Cocoa and Soluble Chocolate. Steam Mills — Brick Lane, London.
