Ladies, Gentlemen, the Irish and other lower races. It is my most sincere and genuine honour to welcome you to the finest chemist in all of London; J.B Flumpwhistle & Sons, purveyors of unguents salves and tinctures to Her Majesty Queen Victoria. Our curatives are unmatched anywhere in the empire, may my mutton chops be dashed from my face and my moustache be struck waxless should I tell a lie.

Perhaps your little one suffers from factory urchin's lung, for only 5 shillings and sixpence I shall provide you with Dr. Chalrymple's Children's Herocaine tonic. The gentle infusion of Heroin and Cocaine is specially formulated to be gentle on even the most malnourished and polio riddled infant, a quick swig and they'll be back at the armaments works building rifles to destroy godless savages in no time.

Maybe you have some manner of perversion, perhaps you have designs on animals, foreigners or, worst of all, other men. Fear not gentle patron, for to the rescue comes Reverend Wankering's disengorgement balm. This miraculous concoction of mercury, lead and the finest and purest radium will render your member both impervious and oblivious to even the most buxom and sultry of Whitechapel's harlots and strumpets.

Speaking of which, are you a lady of the night? Perhaps you are concerned that you may be the next to fall victim to old Jack's grizzly workings. Fear not my dear fallen ladies for the solution lies in Professor Smodt's anti murder perfume. It is a little known fact that the degenerate female slayer has an olfactory system quite unlike our own and this difference may be exploited. The formulation of ox musk, tamarind and powdered black rhino horn will flummox even the most determined womb collector while at the same time leaving honest patrons unperturbed. All yours for just 17 shillings, expensive perhaps, but no price is too high to pay for safety. Should you find yourself without the cash on hand at present simply step into the more discrete settings of my phrenology nook where we can discuss other arrangements.

All these miracles of modern British medical science, and many others can be yours for prices affordable to even the most destitute opium addled wastrel, not that I would allow such people in my establishment of course. So gentle patrons, come one come all, tell me of your ailments so that I may sell to you your salvation.

I'll split some cocaine and malt fizz or me and my nigga cubone

Would you prefer Colombian or Peruvian cocaine? The Peruvian is by all accounts markedly less swarthy than his Colombian counterpart? And with skull measurements more closely resembling the civilised races of the earth to boot. For this reason I charge 6 pence more per quarter ounce for the Peruvian, steep perhaps, but is it not worth paying more knowing that your cocaine passed through whiter hands?

My dear sir, may I offer you my sincere condolences that your wife finds herself at present even more weak and useless than the pathetic norm for her sex. May I suggest Cramblethornes amphetamine salts to give her some vim, along with injections of extract of chimpanzee gland to strengthen her constitution. 13 shillings for the salts, due to the rarity of the raw materials the gland extract will be 3 guineas, a high price I know, but a man of obviously impeccable race and breeding such as your self will surely find himself more than able to afford it.

Oil of the amazonian anaconda injected into the base twice a day should provide the gains you seek. However before suggesting such a drastic measure have you considered the possibility that it may be the woman's fault? They may have what we in the medical profession call vaginal gigantism. If you were to bring your wife or one of your escorts to the shop after business hours I could conduct an examination in the privacy of my phrenology nook.

Sir, if you remember our discussion, you asked me what the cheapest way was to get rid of the boils. I postulated that, at a price of 3 shillings and sixpence, Purvess' amputation substitute would fit that description, a harmless joke on my part. To my dismay you pressed the money into my hand, grabbed an ampule from the display and ran out of the store before I could tell you what it actually does. The product behaved exactly as it is supposed to, if you must blame something for your current predicament, blame your own hastiness. I will be happy to sell you an ampule of Purves' arm substitute at a discounted price of 14 shillings as a show of goodwill.

Otherwise please step into my phrenology nook so I may discern the nature of your affliction. Please pay no mind to the numerous stains on the walls, floor, ceiling and stirruped table, some patients have sneezing fits when they first feel the calipers against their cranium.

Second, as I have advised others, often problems of this nature are the woman's fault. Bring any and all women in your acquaintance to my phrenology nook, that they may be properly examined.

In your professional medical opinion, which of the following is the least unacceptably swarthy?
- Italians

- A Pollock educated in Paris
- A Frenchman educated in Warsaw
- A half Greek, half Briton (assume for the sake of argument that a coupling capable of generating such offspring were feasible)

First it should be noted that I di not include the aristocracy in these opinions, noble blood counteracts the beastly nature of the foreigner.

The southern Italian is notoriously swarthy, maybe the most after the various Negroid races, the northern Italian while still a filthy lazy papist is at least white.

The Iberian carries the blood of the Arab, swarthy and untrustworthy to boot. Also papists.

Pollock is a delicious kind of fish, alas at present impossible to educate, although I hear Count Von Kreigsnarine has had some success in his experiments.

A Frenchman educated in Warsaw will be less educated but also reek considerably less of garlic. Not swarthy but still fit only for death unless he is one of the minority of frenchmen who pray to the true protestant god.

Good sir, I require a some manner of curative for my rear end. He's been loafing in the fields for the last several weeks and the fleas have decimated his hide. I fear he might be on his last legs but cannot afford a new beast of burden until next year.

I am no veterinarian Sir, but I do know a great many things about the world. Here are my ideas if you want a second opinion from some cat fondler that is your right as a free born Englishman.

Firstly the problem of the fleas, Quelpenham's radium and sulphuric acid sterilizing solution, if it will kill a hospital ward full of idiot halfwits (and their patients) a few fleas should present no obstacle.

Second the matter of how to bring strength and vigour back to the unfortunate animal. Now you will hear some lily livered pantywaists claim that the donkey is a herbivorous creature that should on no account be allowed to ingest meat. To this I say pish, popycock, fiddle faddle and humbug Sir, if meat is good enough to put muscle on the frame of the God fearing Englishman it is more than good enough for the horse's racially inferior cousin.

I'm sure an amicable arrangement can be reached with my dear friend Captain Rinus Van Luijnmelk of the Belgian Congo trading company for an abundance of animal grade meat, you will be astonished at the generosity of his prices. As for some extra vim, Mr Nandrilholm's performance enhancement mixture (patent pending) injected thrice daily into the testicles should do the trick.

Follow my advice and this sorry beast will be doing thrice the work of one of Mr Brunel's infernal contraptions. The extra profits accrued from its increased efficiency, properly set aside, will be more than enough to buy a new animal when the current one's heart explodes.

Sir! Good sir! I require some sort of elixir or tincture for my goodly wife, to help tame the fire she has for the more swarthy (or dare I say, negroid) type of foreigner, and thus put said energy back into cooking my dinners post-haste.

On a related note, I would also be interested in something for my daughter, to make her less susceptible to the charms of boys. And possibly to have her be attracted to the feminine wiles of... other women. Purely for her own safety and chastity, of course.

Sir, are the numerous signs both outside and within this establishment not enough for you? The one above this very counter for instance? Very well, maybe the written word is not your strong suit, I shall say this extremely slowly in case you are in possession of even more feeble a brain than you have so far demonstrated.

Bring. All. Your. Women. To. This. Establishment. During. The. Hours. Of. Darkness. So. That. I. May. Examine. Them. In. My. Phrenology. Nook.

Also bring some reading material as you will be waiting a goodly period of time, one cannot rush these things. And some manner of assistive walking apparatus for the journey home, a walking cane or possibly an invalid carriage. Phrenology is far more physically taxing than one would at first imagine, especially for the soft and pliable frame of the feebler sex.

Oh and one more thing. If in a few months after the examination you should be blessed with a child with a prominent quintessentially English forehead, piercing dark grey eyes that seldom blink, subtle yet masculine chin, high cheekbones and thick bountiful eye brows and mutton chops, in short facial features that closely resemble my own, do not be alarmed. This is quite common, for such is my force of personality and mental prowess that women subjected to phrenological examination by myself while in the early stages of pregnancy are so impressed by the experience that their wombs involuntarily form their children to more closely resemble my good self. This is one of the advantages of an examination by J.B. Flumpwhistle and is given to you free, gratis and at no extra cost.

Ah, the good sir Flumpwhistle, I am indeed glad to see your apothecary shop fares well. Perchance you recall me, I was an apprentice with the guild some years ago. I was quite astounded by not only your expertise with tinctures but your adept mastery of phrenology. Do forgive me, I have a habit of rambling a touch, sir. Let me arrive at my point.

You were trying to master a brew that would at once install the vigour of a dozen men while also making the subject more amicable to orders. I am curious if this has made any progress. You see, I have had the most unfortunate circumstance in that I inherited a farm staffed entirely by *shudders* Scotsmen and the odd Russian. They have been insisting on better conditions and though they have been beaten to within an inch of their lives, they do not relent.

I would very much hate for them to actually die from the beatings. Has your potion seen any success or should I simply give them a dose of Hoggenbollz Vim-Peccable mixture of barbituate and cocaine tonic elixir and hope for the best?

Ah yes I remember you Barmfold isn't it? I'm glad to see that time and Almondthorpe's pimple removal paste have been kind to you. What was it the other boys called you? Spotty spoddy oiky arse face, or some such nonsense, ah the wit of youth. Well well well, Barmbrough as I live and breathe.

Thank you for your kind enquiries as to how I am keeping. These days, dear Balkchester, I find that I am better able to help a larger number of people by recognising the fine qualities in the produce of others and applying those fine qualities to the specific problems of my patrons. Alas the life of the merchant chemist keeps me away from the hunt for discoveries of my own.

But enough self indulgence, let us turn to your problem. It seems to me that if you want success in your farming endeavour you should look to the example of The Empire. Why does the Englishman bestride India like a colossus? The caste system my dear fellow, raise the standard of living for one and he will keep his fellows in line for you. Put men from the Borders at the top of the hierarchy as they are nearly English anyway, then Edinburghers, Aberdonians et cetera all the way down to Glaswegians at the bottom, with your few Russians and any Catholics below them to fill the role of the untouchables. This system should run itself perfectly adequately even without any pharmaceutical encouragement, but we can go further still.

There is a new tonic on the market, Worker's Joy by Hablerfold and Smink. It is quite extraordinary, the alertness of amphetamines and cocaine with the amenability of opium and cannabis, but the various mineral ingredients modify the effects. A man enjoying Worker's Joy has neither the slow wittedness of the opium fiend nor the irritability of the cocaine addict, and it is more habit forming that all of these drugs put together. A man will be completely dependent on Worker's Joy after as few as three doses, you will be able to pay your men with nothing more than a little food and some Worker's Joy. They will want to do nothing but work and indulge in the fine elixir you provide them with, if that isn't the "working class utopia" that Marx fellow has been blathering on about then I don't know what is.

So my dear Barmforth, have I been of help?

Unfortunately lately swarms of owls have been arriving with letters addressed to the boy attached to them. They continue to barrage our house at all hours and I cannot get rid of the cursed things. I naturally assumed the boy was behind it and beat him within an inch of his life to discover who he was working with to disrupt the household but he insists he knows nothing and is usually too feeble minded to lie effectively.

Is there some natural repellant we can use to keep these accursed nocturnal birds away from our domicile? It is becoming difficult to live with.

I strongly disagree, and insist you stop this attack on J. B. Flumpwhistle's character. I admit I had my doubts, but assured myself this educated man could save my farm, and how!

I followed his instructions to a tee, first applying Quelpenham's radium and sulphuric acid sterilizing solution to my rear end, and not only did it eliminate the fleas, but also it gave the beast's skin a crimson luster that causes all the other farmers weep in jealousy.

Convincing the animal to eat flesh was no easy task but after starving a few days he greedily gobbled it up and a few of my chickens. With that I new he was ready to return to his work in the fields.

Lastly, I injected Mr Nandrilholm's performance enhancement in the creature's testicles. I've never seen the ol'boy with so much spirit before. I could barely keep the beast still long enough to attach the plow. As soon as it was secured the beast bolted from the stable and plowed the field, (and a bit of the neighbor's house,) in record time.

Watching the life return to my rear end, got me thinking... if I could somehow get him to take on the appearance of a horse, I might make a killing at the derby. Perhaps you might have something Mr. Flumpwhistle?

It does this old man's heart good to hear such fine praise sir.

Alas I cannot be a party to the abomination you propose, an rear end running the derby? It is a beast of burden sir, that is its lot in life and to allow it to mix with its social betters would be unseemly in the eyes of The Lord, most unseemly. That God has rendered barren the abominable offspring of the horse and the rear end should tell you all you need to know. Would sir allow a Negro to become an olympian, or allow a Jew to practice theoretical physics? Perhaps sir wishes for a world where England plays a test match against an Indian cricket team at Lord's. For god's sake man, it's bad enough that we let the those convicts from the antipodes play.

I fervently hope that I have helped Sir see the error of his ways.

Oh indeed, sir, indeed. I had not considered the idea of a caste, but once again you prove yourself a learned scholar and all around gentleman. I shall try both this caste system and a few bottles of Worker's Joy.

Having said that, I must admit it was not Almondthorpe which assisted in the clearing of my face. I tried it for some time and have concluded the man is a charlatan, a cur, an absolute disgrace to Queen and country! No, I took a small trip many years ago on a merchant vessel, and you may find this unbelievable, but the ocean water did amazing work for my complexion.

In fact, my estate is not too far from the sea and I have taken to gathering litres of sea water every so often. Naturally, I refine it with a bit of amphetamine solution - I confess this is a proprietary secret and I cannot share it with anyone - to add a bit of spruce. Why, I allowed the neighbor girl to apply some to her face and she was positively glowing!

Unfortunately, this newfound confidence revealed she was indeed sullied before the Lord as she was caught in the hay with a Frenchman that very night. I have revoked her privileges unless she agrees to submit to a rigorous mental examination, and until she does so, her family is also barred from my establishment.

A Frenchman!

Ah, I always thought that Almondthorpe seemed a rum fellow, Blithers told me that he doesn't even beat his wife, it stands to reason that such slipshod slumliness would extend to his work.

But my dear Bofflebrush, your neighbour girl, a Frenchman... It beggars belief.

Perhaps I may be of assistance in examining this wanton hussy? Perhaps you could bring her to the metropolis where we could take turns examining her in my phrenology nook or maybe, dare I say it, indulge in a joint examination.

Or if the city air disagrees with her I could always leave Pillsbury in charge for a few days and journey forth to the no doubt charming Bimbleforth estate. I trust you have some manner of nook or oubliette where we can conduct a thorough examination. Is there any good shooting to be had in your little corner of the empire?

What say you Blavelshavel? Might I be allowed to assist you?

Johny-on-the-Spot posted:

It's all well that you won't be able to assist me with my derby aspirations, as it appear my rear end has gotten loose and is making messes all over town.

I only require your most potent hair tonic so that I can seek cover as a wolf-man in a circus sideshow.

You need not take any measures so drastic as to go on the run. Firstly, if your rear end is in the rampage phase a pulmonary detonation is imminent.

As to your neigbours, have you ever heard of Dibblethrid's foot marvel? It is a harmless topical corn relief lotion, harmless when applied to the skin that is. When ingested it causes the most harrowing seizures, waking nightmares of the most profound vividness and intensity. Simply pour a gallon into the local water supply and your neighbours will dismiss your crimson hell donkey as a figment of their besieged conciousness, once they regain their faculties of course.

As for game, well, just last week I trapped no less than three rabbits and my cousin Wharfimble shot two pheasants! We see deer frequently as well and I have made fine smoked meats from them in the past.

I suspect the bastard may be a secret Papist. Is there some form of chemical test that will verify my suspicions?

Alas, the catholic has such a gift for duplicity that no chemical test yet devised can discern him from the righteous protestant. I hesitate to suggest this, as their kind is the lowest of the low, but you might consider hiring a private detective to follow this Mr Cunterblast. Whatever you do, do not hire that Bounder Holmes, the man is a fiend, a nancy, a foul and venal worm of the worst kind.

Of course a second thought occurs to me. This could all be, as things often are, the fault of a woman. Perhaps Mr Cunterblast found your wife's cooking unpalatable, maybe the meat in particular was so inedible that he was forced to commit subterfuge to preserve social decorum. Maybe invite him over again some time during the week, have your wife prepare the same meal, if he hides the meat again you will know that he is innocent, and that your wife is a terrible cook. If this is the case bring her to this Emporium after I close so that I might examine her for the source of her spitefulness in providing you with such an inadequate repast.

Uncle at Nintendo posted:

Master Flumpwhistle, I must inquire about something. How did you come to meet Sir Geoffrey Molleston? This is of utmost importance.

Ah, dear Sir Geoffrey, we met at St. Buggering's school in Hertfordshire. Our friendship was forged on the cricket fields, he was the finest batsman on the team, I the best bowler. We were inseparable, I remember at that time Arbuthnall's Cigarettes came with cards depicting members of the Royal Family, we used to trade them with one another to try and complete our collections, although he only really seemed to be interested in the royal children, even then he was an eccentric.

I remember one time, when we were prefects in the 5th form, I was about to throw one of the younger boys off the roof for expressing sympathy for the Irish (the glorious potato famine was in full swing at that time), Sir Geoffrey found me and used passages from scripture to convince me to let him take the boy to the storage room so as to convince him of the error of his ways. He always did have a way with words.

He was also, even at such a young age, a budding philanthropist. He used to take the younger boys for long walks, deep in the woods, often naked so as better to commune with nature. I regret to say I was too busy sneaking off the grounds to canoodle with the village girls to join him. He would always take one boy under his wing, giving him presents, massaging him when he got a cramp, he would even let the young lad sleep in his bed with him so he wouldn't be so scared at night. When he felt that he had taught the boy all he could he would move on to another one. I would estimate that somewhere between thirty and fifty fine British men owe their positions in no small part to the mentorship they received from Sir Geoffrey while at St. Buggering's.

We remained together after leaving school, we studied at Perv's college, Oxford together. He studied divinity, I studied Chemistry, in his spare time he ministered to children of the lower classes, I spent all my spare time impregnating my first wife and conducting phrenological examinations on local fallen women. After graduating we lost touch, he became a missionary, I joined the army to take revenge on the savages for the death of my beloved brother Obediah. Our paths crossed again in Rhodesia, he was endeavouring to bring the native children to Jesus, myself and Pillsbury were introducing their relatives to Jesus, or St. Peter at the very least.

We met again years later in London at Doctor Hardcocke's impound for nincompoops, lunatics and frigid women. I was committing my fourth wife, he had brought a batch of 13 year olds who had reached the age where they could no longer attend his school for lackwit children. Although we had a professional relationship for several years prior to this meeting, I was one of the main drug suppliers for his school, due to our schedules business had never been conducted in person. We rekindled our relationship that day and have remained inseparable ever since.

In the years I've been using your cocainated-heroin rectal suppositories (and haschisch-infused lubricant), my life has changed for the better in more ways than I can count , but that won't stop me from trying: my Gypsy-Knee has cleared up almost completely, my Negro's-Slouch is significantly improved, and best of all I've stopped falling asleep during church and have stopped reading newspapers sympathetic towards trade unionists entirely. However, I find that if the dosage is not semi-regularly increased, the benefits begin to wane, which brings me to my current conundrum: my rectum is of insufficient size for the dozens upon dozens of suppositories I must use daily, regardless of how many tubes of lubricant I use. There must exist exercises to increase the organ's volume, devices to forcibly expand it, or even a surgery that would accomplish either of these goals. Additionally, a Fellow from The Royal Society I met playing snooker suggested that suppositories might be developed with a greater concentration of their active constituents. I assumed this gentleman to be a typical Royal Society oocephalus, his bald, bespectacled head constantly floating amongst the clouds of possibility, ignoring the solid ground of actuality. Still, I felt it best to broach all possibilities. I am interested in whatever you feel would be the best solution to my problem.

Sincerely,
Nathaniel Ignatius Graham Martin, Esq, Etc.

A more concentrated suppository, oh my my what a hoot, these so called academics really are the most frightful dullards. The solution lies not in a higher concentration but in a larger suppository, Felchingham's Super-Jumbo-Enormo Suppositories, or "the rugger balls" to use Pillsbury's rather amusing colloquialism. Of course sir could not be expected to accommodate such a monolithic item without help, and such help comes in the form of Viscount Goatsley's rectal enloosenment balm, a stout pair of Felchingham's patented anal separation calipers and Professor Popperton's intestinal dilation smelling salts. Three suppositories taken five times a day should be sufficient for at least the next couple of years until Sir finds he needs to up the dosage.

i fancy spending my 3 day weekend in a pleasant haze

If Sir fancies a novelty might I suggest Barksdale's smokable cocaine, it's a riotously enjoyable new spin on the more conventional intravenous cocaine, and not the least bit habit forming!

Alum, alum, alum, I need a refill on Alum.

Clemshore! Alum!

If Sir would please follow my capable assistant. I let him deal with anything to do with alum, he's completely fascinated by the stuff for some reason, and it does so brighten the place so see that dull witted grin of his.

My daughter reads novels. How can I fix this problem?

Before taking drastic measures Sir should take steps to reassure himself that she is not simply looking at the pictures or using novels as makeshift fans on hot days, Sir might also consider that the Bible may resemble one of the larger novels when viewed from a distance.

If she is dabbling in literature Sir should take the following steps, first give her Reverend Wankering's Counter-Lesbianism syrup three times a day, if she indulges in one activity reserved for men she may well be interested in others. Second, during her monthly unpleasantness Sir should provide her with Maxiflap's disenlightenment sanitary napkins, they contain a powerful personality modifier that is absorbed through the skin, she will be doing embroidery and looking for a husband in no time. Third and by far the most important, bring her to this very establishment during the hours of darkness so that I may examine her thoroughly in my phrenology nook.

Mr. Flumpwhistle do you have anything for this insatiable craving for spirits?

Crandlesham's brandy substitute, it contains methanol, a chemically similar but non addictive alternative to alcoholic beverages, start by drinking it in the same quantities as you usually indulge in, and then slowly reduce the dose. You should have completely weaned yourself off of the demon drink within about 6 months.

Spirits as in The Devil's Drink, or spirits as in the supernatural? Because I need something for the latter - specifically the ghosts of the dead chimney sweeps rattling in the walls of my domicile.

Sir the only spirit I believe in is the holy spirit. The chimney sweeps you speak of are still alive and are by now completely beyond saving, have a man climb on to your roof and flush out your chimneys from above with Greamley's Corrodolmax, it's more commonly used as an industrial drain de-clogging agent but should serve you quite well for this particular eventuality. You should put down some corrosion proofed canvas around your fireplaces in preparation for the violently acidic ichor that will spew forth.

Thank you, J. B. Flumpwhistle.

In addition to my novel-reading daughter, my eldest son is sickly and weak and not at all becoming the proud lineage of his forebears. I have had several frank discussions with my wife about this but there seems to be naught to do. He speaks that he dreams of becoming a poet and marrying one of those... travellers... that make camp outside the town and sell gewgaws and knick-knacks. Do you have anything to enhance his virile masculinity? Preferably something that could be administered in secret so that he does not notice the changes until they have begun to take hold?

A steady diet of beef and porridge is a good start, and upon this firm basis we shall build our colossus. Amphetamines, extract of chimpanzee gland and lashings of cocaine. And for the love of god take the boy hunting! Have him shoot to maim, the kill itself has to be made bare handed, he needs to stare into the eyes as the life is extinguished. If that lad can learn the heady thrill of exterminating one of god's creatures you'll make a man of him in no time.

As for this dalliance with the gypsy girl, an afternoon with one of Whitechapel's buxom strumpets should make him forget all about it.

Dear Old Timey Chemist,

I have a sinus infection and my whole face is swollen up like some kind of mutant. I'm basically mining semi-solid spikes of mucous/blood from my nose every few hours. I went and saw a fancy pants "doctor" and he gave me some pills. I'm pretty sure he just sold me some chalky snake-oil shenanigans. I took it upon myself to drown my body in alcohol just to be sure all the bad humors were purged anyway.



But I just don't feel safe yet and I'm 100% sure there's still a gently caress load of ghosts in my blood, brain, and heart. Please help any advice would be appreciated!!!

-A Haunted hosed Up Booger-Body

There are no shenanigans in snake oil sir, although you should not administer it to your sinuses unless you wish your nose to grow as thick, rigid and veiny as a longshoreman's forearm. If sir will excuse this old man his little jokes, ho ho.

For sinus complaints I always prescribe Bloffam's Parafinated radium and bromine oil, passed back and forth from nostril to nostril via the sinuses using Doctor Smallbottom's patented two syringe technique.

As for these "ghosts" in your blood, brain and heart, while there is no such thing as ghosts I fear you may have some kind of blood enfeeblement, it just so happens that I have just taken delivery of a brand new Professor Gulpuent blood filtration device, which you may have the use of for just nineteen guineas. Your blood is passed from your right jugular vein, through the immaculate lead pipework to the revolutionary asbestos filter where it is thoroughly scrubbed of all pollutants and impurities, before being returned to the body through the left femural artery. We shall have you good as new in no time Sir, Huzzah for the wonders of British science!

My good Mr Flumpwhistle, I am in desperate need of your services. Some recent experiments in the chemical and even alchemical sciences have borne fruit and I have brought Life to what was once dead. Unfortunately I had to make the Creature overly large due to inadequate tools, and it appears that human flesh retains a ghastly colour even after Reinvigoration.

I was hoping to make a somewhat broader use of your disengorgement balm than you usually prescribe, and I wanted to inquire if you might have any unguents of a more purely cosmetic nature.

You shall have no help from me sir, we do not gladly suffer abominations before The Lord in this establishment.

Mr Flumpwhistle, Mr Flumpwhistle!

You mention sons, but I have here documentation indicating the birth of a Regina Flumpwhistle

Are the rumours true?

Mr Flumpwhistle

Of course I have daughters you lumpen oaf. The Lord afflicts us with daughters in order to build strength of character.

I don't mention them because they are all either married or in Dr. Hardcocke's impound, in either case they are no longer any concern of mine.

A few of the younger ones are currently attending Miss Busybodice's Academy for excellence in the fields of embroidery and dress wearing. For an extra fee they very kindly keep the girls during the holidays, an exemplary arrangement for all concerned.

Also the date on this document reads 1737, and the father's name reads J.P. Flumpfwessel, dear oh dear the record keepers were certainly prone to spelling mistakes in those days weren't they. This is my Great Aunt's birth certificate you pox addled ignoramus.
