IMPORTED SKELETONS
BRITISH CANNOT BE BOUGHT
There is one tiling you cannot buy u.s a British.made article. Skeletons! Perhaps you may wonder, who would want to buy such a thing. Every medical student requires one for the purpose -of study, and there is a brisk demand for them —so brisk that most students can afford to buy only half a! skeleton, a right-hand or left-hand side. All came from foreign countries, and the reason for this is that- their laws are not quite so strict as those of Great Britain. When a man dies lie must be buried, and once ho is under ground hq has to stay there! Several firms in London and other university towns import skeletons, and they do big business. The average price of half a skeleton is £5 or so, but a whole one costs more than twice as much.
