"Rice Charleton (1710–1789) was an English physician, medical researcher, and Fellow of the Royal Society. Rice Charleton, portrait by Thomas Gainsborough Life Charleton was educated at the University of Oxford, where he took the degrees of M.A., M.B., and M.D. He settled in practice at Bath, Somerset, was elected physician to the Bath General Hospital 2 June 1757, and then lived in Alfred Street. He belonged to the Royal College of Physicians. Charleton wrote on the chemistry of mineral waters, and was elected Fellow of the Royal Society on 3 November 1747. He then retired from the Society, in 1754. He resigned his post at the hospital 1 May 1781, and died in 1789. Works In 1750 Charleton published A Chemical Analysis of Bath Waters. The book describes a series of experiments to determine the mineral constituents of the thermal springs at Bath. The chemical system of Hermann Boerhaave was followed. He published a second tract An Inquiry into the Efficacy of Bath Waters in Palsies, and reprinted it in 1774, with his first publication and Tract the Third, containing Cases of Patients admitted into the Hospital at Bath under the care of the late Mr. Oliver, with some additional Cases and Notes. The volume is dedicated to Thomas Osborne, 4th Duke of Leeds, who was one of Charleton's patients. It contains case histories, and argues that part of the reputation of the Bath waters as a cure for palsy was due to the large number of cases of paralysis from lead poisoning who arrived with useless limbs; and were cured by abstinence from cider having lead in solution, and by frequent bathing.

"The Tuomy Hills Service Station is a commercial building located 2460 Washtenaw Avenue in Ann Arbor, Michigan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2000. History Cornelius ("Bill") and Kathryn Tuomy were siblings from a family with deep roots in the Ann Arbor area. The pair were in the real estate business, and were responsible for the development of the Tuomy Hills area of Ann Arbor. In 1928, when Stadium Boulevards was first constructed, the Tuomys decided that the area where Stadium crossed Washtenaw needed a gas station. They hired Ann Arbor architects Lynn Fry and Paul Kasurin to design this service station, though other sources list the architect as Frank Carson (winner of the 1925 Prix de Rome). The Standard Oil Company leased the station, and exhibited a replica it at the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. When Bill Tuomy died in 1966, Standard Oil bought the station, and ran it until 1988 when it was boarded up. In 1999, the station was refurbished for use as a University Bank ATM branch. In 2005, Bearclaw Coffee Co. moved into the station, and remains there as of 2020. Description The Tuomy Hills Service Station is a single story commercial building, constructed in a style variously described as reflecting an Irish gatehouse or English gatekeeper's cottage. The walls consists of eight inches of brick faced with eight inches of stone. The station sits on a heavy concrete pad, and is roofed with slate. The structure has two porte-cochères, each supported with hand-hewn oak pillars.
