A letter in a recent edition of the "Veterinary Record" by R.G. Allpress tells of some surprising objects retrieved from dead animals. according to Allpress, who works in an equine clinic, in 1888 a horse was found with a persistant respiratory problem was found on the knackers floor (then as now, a valuable teaching area (for vets that is :-) )), to have a toad at the bottom of its trachea. The toad was apparently alive, and had changed its colour to blend in with its new environment. Was this Allpress wonders, the origin of the expression "a frog in the throat"? * SLMR 2.1a * Coral Sea Views, Wulguru, Townsville. -- uucp: uunet!m2xenix!puddle!3!640!706!John.Feltham Internet: John.Feltham@f706.n640.z3.fidonet.org
