I'd like to add my thanks to John Patrick for his fascinating posts. None of my lot have turned up yet, but you never know. This one caught my eye as my mother was a nurse at Woolaston House (now St Woollas Hospital) - Western Mail Tuesday June 1st 1926. Violet BUCK, 35, of Mill-parade, Newport, lies in the Woolston House Infirmary, Newport, in a serious condition, as the result of taking salts of lemon. I didn't know what salts of lemon were so looked it up - sounds harmless, like lemon flavoured Epsom salts, but apparently is nothing to do with lemons but oxalic acid, a corrosive substance readily available at the chemist in those days and used for cleaning ink stains. Definitely not to be ingested and usually fatal. However I can't find a death for her in Newport for that year so I guess she survived. Joss
