HAS any ex-Army medico mislaid a couple of sets of brains?
A member of the staff of Burns, Philp’s Rabaul branch was slightly shaken re cently when stocktaking in the store. On opening an unlabelled tin, taken from a shelf, he found it to contain two sets of human brains. The grisly contents were at once taken to the local police depart ment, who sought medical opinion.
It is presumed that an Army medical officer had skilfully removed them, pre served them, and packed them ready to take away with him, either as a prize of war or for future study.
Burns, Philp purchased a large quantity of army stock during the change over from Army to civil control in the Ter ritory.
But the gruesome discovery opens up some interesting speculation.—K.
