Bovril was invented by the Scottish entrepreneur John Lawson Johnston, who built a factory in Quebec, Canada, to cope with his enormous windfall from the French ministry of war. He used meat offcuts to make Fluid Beef which he renamed Bovril from the words Bos, the Latin for a cow, and vril, meaning an electric fluid. Bovril took off after Johnston relocated to London in 1884. Production moved to Burton on Trent, the Staffordshire town famous for brewing and handy for yeast, in 1968.

The remains will go next to the University of Wisconsin for an anthropologist and odontologist to inspect. The anthropologist was too erratic a man 122 to inspire confidence, and the Phantom needed someone whom he could trust absolutely. anthropologist as he was, he had suspected this from the start. It has given us glimpses of the workshop of the archaeologist, the anthropologist, and the etymologist. The anthropologist jumped up with the abruptness of a rabbit. No anthropologist, I hope, is denying that Nature-myths and Nature-gods exist.
