Though doctors are uncertain of the effect, they believe that a blast of the dawn chorus is a good medicine. Clearly NHS cuts are biting deep. I assume Liverpool's medical staff have already combed the Merseyside woods for hemlock, cowbane, henbane, belladonna, yarrow and mandrake. Bismuth and bromide must be near exhaustion. Now the birds of the air are being conscripted. </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2184234,00.html">Big Pharma has had its day</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/story/0,,2184234,00.html">Rhythm stirs our bodies as tonality and melody stirs our brains,</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/A6F905BE-6C60-40FB-BD1A-DD8E69370F06/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
