''««. s4«m& w Worth looking into/ BODY snatching is hardly a calling which a proud father would wish his son to follow, yet, were it not for those rascals who, In years gone by, habitually and stealthily desecrated graves of the dead, exhumed corpses, and sold them to medical students for use in surgical studies, few of us to-day could have the pleasure of showing each other “ our operations.” At the initial stage of the practice £5 per corpse was the average value, depending on the freshness, age, and general condition, but eventually the demand exceeded the supply and prices soared accordingly, until even the canny Scotch students were paying exorbitant figures, particularly for special subjects. If the practice had been legal we have no doubtrthat the Price Tribunal would have had a busy time. As it was, however, the whole nefarious business was conducted on the “ black market ” and no questions asked. There seems to be some confusion and consternation In the Operating Theatre. Has a modem bodysnatcher been at work? If not, why did the patient leave right in the middle of the operation? Perhaps his subconscious mind caused him to remember a forgotten golf appointment, or did he, through the vortex of anaesthesia, hear the peals of peace bells and elect to attend the celebrations, even though his operation was only half finished? We don’t like half-finished work Taylor’s never have and never will! Every effort possible is made by Taylor’s to give COMPLETE satisfaction to customers entrusting them with Dry Cleaning or Garment Dyeing work. By the way, we wonder if you know this Taylor’s Dry Cleaning and Pressing prices have not been Increased since 19551 four years before the War started not a bad achievement WORTH LOOKING INTO."
