Can anybody make out the signature of the doctor who signed this document please? I've stared at it so long I've gone boggle eyed! You get to a point where it is never going to become clear. I can make out everything else apart from his signature and qualifications after it.
Many thanks

Yes it is Mahon!!!!!!!!!! Thanks so much! He's there in Bedfordshire George A D Mahon, general practitioner MRCS.
I can see it now!
How is it you can stare at it endlessly and get nowhere till somebody tells you and then it becomes obvious?
Thanks so much! I can stop squinting at the page now!

I thought it was Atherton at first but he always crosses the letter T and if it was Atherton, the second T isn't crossed. Its Mahon I think. Bedfordshire fits perfectly as he was writing about somebody admitted to the Woburn Workhouse.
