The devil speaks through hearts left yearning. He can’t tell lies but sings wicked euphonies. Below the hills, there lies a chasm Holding valleys of phantasms.

Have ya'll heard this Folk of the Air song that I wrote? I managed to gently persuade by friend @victoriacarbol to sing the Balekin part to my Cardan in my third Toxic Families in Faerie song. DOESN'T SHE SOUND AMAZING? Anyway, you can watch this lyric video or stream this bad boy on the Bookish Songs Collective's Folk of the Air album Under the Hill.

At our last monthly open house of the semester, we pulled a few items with poetry for National Poetry Month. In our copy of Ballads En Termes de la Ley, we stumbled upon a poem about the 1892 Carlill v. Carbolic Smoke Ball Company case, which many students recognized from their 1L contracts class.

A notable case in terms of contracts within advertisements, Carlill v. Carbolic involved the company's advertisement stating that buyers who found the product didn't work after using it as instructed could claim £100 (the equivalent of $20,186 USD today). When Louisa Carlill contracted influenza after using the smoke ball three times daily for nearly two months, she went to claim her reward. Carbolic claimed it wasn't a serious contract, but the court held that there was a fully binding contract.

"Mrs. Carlill has sniffed the Carbolic

Smoke Ball--nasty thing--thrice a day;

Fits of neuralgia, the gout and the colic,

To such pains would be simply child's play.

And yet, after all's said and done,

Influenza has held her in thrall"

WHY is Belle’s hair down in the 1850s IN AN OPERATING THEATRE though

#tie your hair up! #PLEASE #incidentally I saw a post saying that belle is a bad nurse #which of COURSE she is that’s the POINT #she’s brilliant arrogant and hierarchical with no bedside manner at all #or as it’s also known “a born surgeon” #we have to let women become surgeons #not just because equality #otherwise women like belle will try to be nurses and it will all be absolutely dreadful #but you know what good surgeons do belle? you know what they do? THEY TIE THEIR HAIR UP #especially in the 1850s! when all women’s hair is up all the time! #tbf I’m not sure if this is the 1850s #ether’s still the Yankee dodge but lister’s published his experiments with carbolic acid???? #a confusing timeline #I love this show! it’s perfectly tailored to my interests! but when is it SET

Caustic Candy: Florence McVean — A Victim Once Again?

Okay, I need to put a caveat/trigger warning ahead of this post: Acid attacks are a serious problem, and in no way shape or form am I discounting, disbelieving, or brushing aside the victims of these horribly violent attacks. In this post, I will discuss two singularly rare incidences which DO NOT reflect the vast and overwhelming majority of victims. In point of fact, these two cases are…

Once Stanley awoke from his surgery, he realised one of his kidneys was missing. Now, I have no idea how he’d go about *knowing* that his kidney was missing- could he feel it? No, that’d be strange.

Stanley got up from the operating table, mourning the loss of his favourite kidney.

Stanley went over to the metal table on wheels.

7/6

Oh- would you look at that- how did *he* get here? Well, I suppose there’s no complaining about an extract Figlurineley. Remember: you’re not getting any sort of validation or praise from collecting them all.

He walked out of the operating theatre, and walked through the door on his left.

On your left, Stanley.

The left one, Stanley.

Are you still recovering from the grossly disproportioned anaesthetic I administered through the office vents? Come on Stanley. Hold your hands out for me. The hand that makes an ‘L’ is the left. Go for that side.

Oh, for god’s sakes- Stanley! The left! Last I checked, kidneys didn’t affect mental capacity! Come on now, let’s give it one last go, and let’s not mess it up, eh?

"TOOK POISON IN K. & P. STATION," Kingston Daily Standard. August 19, 1913. Page 1. ---- Mrs. Frank Redden Swallowed a Quantity of Carbolic Acid. ---- SHE IS STILL ALIVE ---- After Taking the Poison the Woman Asked Station Agent to Phone Husband's Cab Stand. ---- In an attempt to end her life this morning about ten o'clock, Mrs. Frank Redden, the wife of a well-known hack driver of this city, walked into the ladies' waiting room at the C.P.R. station and taking a bottle of carbolic acid from her purse apparently drank the contents. After doing this she walked into the office of the station agent, Mr. J. Flett, and said to him, "I have just taken a drink of carbolic acid, will you please telephone to No. 600 and tell them there." This is the cab stand on Clarence street with which her husband is connected.

The station agent 'phoned for the police and Constables Mullinger and Armstrong answered the call. They at once sent for Corbett's ambulance and a doctor. When Dr. Fee arrived he examined the woman and had her removed to the General Hospital in the ambulance. Her lips and mouth were badly burned by the acid but it is not known whether she swallowed very much of the contents of the bottle, although when it was picked up it was found to be empty.

She is still alive, but it is not yet known whether she will recover. The doctors, however, have good hopes.

After she was removed to the hospital two notes that she had written were picked up in the waiting room. One read, "Frank, come to the K. & P. station, I have taken poison," and the other, addressed to a near relative, said she had been driven to it.

Her husband was sent for and arrived at the station a short time after the constables got there.
