The "Five-Shilling Man" as visualised by G. E. Studdy
The following, according to Dr. Thomas Lawson, are all the ingredients of the body of an average man of 10 stone: - Ten gallons of water; enough fat for seven bars of soap; carbon for 9,000 lead pencils; phosphorus for 2,200 match heads; magnesium for one dose of salts; iron for one medium-sized nail; lime enough to whitewash a chicken coop; and enough sulphur to rid a dog of fleas. And that lot can be bought for five shillings!
