Slippery Elm Bark, (Red Elm) Used for centuries, is a highly nutritious food product. Benefits babies who are unable to digest milk products. Easily digested, it is one of the few foods that will stay in a cancerous or ulcerated stomach when nothing else does.  Beneficial for those recovering from illness and have wasting diseases.

Original Thermos flask
.  This flask is number 3076.  Engl. patent No. 4421 dated 22.2.04. German manufacture.  This original Thermos is oval in shape, 9½'' high, 4'' wide and 3'' deep. It still has the original pigskin jacket, presumably to help insulation. The glass liner was probably made in Germany, leading glass blowers/makers at that time.

A Lakeland kitchen. As the evening sun filters through the window, Dad, in the rocking chair, discusses the days work.  Notice the leather gaiters and hobnail boots.
Hams and a flitch of bacon hang from the ceiling meat hooks.



Beethams Chemists, Cheltenham. 1890 advert.
