Bonus from my home mortician kit!

The seller contacted me saying, they got it mid way through the auction the embalming certificate of the guy who owned the case!  His name is Earl, and was certified on september, 10, 1935  in Texas!! So Awesome!!

Charles Camsell Indian Hospital Key!

The hospital was an "Experimental Hospital" run by Canada's Indian Affairs and the United Church was known as the "Indian Hospital". Stigma surrounds the hospital as it is alleged that the aboriginal population was treated poorly, abused, and murdered. It is also alleged that south of the building near what used to be the staff garden is a mass grave of aboriginal children, though when officials questioned about this it is denied and stated that most of the people that died in this hospital were buried near a residential school in St. Albert north of Edmonton. These rumours and others regarding hauntings of the hospital are based more in urban legend than fact.

The hospital was closed and abandoned in 1996. The building and grounds as of 2009 sit empty!

Antique Home Morticians Portable Embalming Kit!

 All the embalmer's tools of the trade are here in one kit, just like they used out on a site after leaving the funeral home to work with the 'Dearly Departed'.  This kit is quite a nostalgic wonder in it's own right.  I could feel the ambiance when I went through it to take the photos.  Lots of trocars, draining tubes with valves, hoses, tools like scalpels & hemostats, needles of all kinds, vintage makeup tools and compounds, one tool looks to be an authentic ivory file, hoses, blood or fluid jars with tops, old cosmetics and sterilizing bottles. One side is the embalming side of the kit, the other is the make up kit side. 


Here are the photos!!

BDC Gin Pills For The Kidneys!

Found this at the local Antique mall!  ( very hard to come by, from my research)

they were a famous remedy for kidney trouble in the 19th century in Canada. And as a bonus, they turned your urine green (probably due to methylene blue, which was often found in medicines of this era).

Add From the Hamilton Spectator (Hamilton, Ontario), 1926
