From the Warminster Herald, Saturday 23rd July 1892:
Extraordinary Cure For A Cough
On Tuesday morning [19th July 1892] an old man named George Creamer was found in one of wards of the Union Workhouse [at Warminster], by the Master, Mr. Barling, with his throat cut. The excuse Creamer gave the Master was that during the night he had been very restless with a bad cough, and that he had only tried to bore a hole through his neck to get at it. The “hole” was “bored” with a piece of tin. Creamer was attended by Mr. F.I. Flower.
