The rag and bone men would work long hours for a relatively small reward, sometimes as much as 10 hours every day, and would often turn to this way of earning a living after falling on hard times. In some cases, the cancer can weaken a bone, causing it to break (fracture) easily after a minor injury or fall. The reduction in oestrogen in the years following menopause causes rapid bone loss, which can lead to osteoporosis.

However, in recent times, changes in legislation have meant that if you have scrap metal to dispose of, you can no longer take it to your nearest metal dealer and get paid in cash, you must get back by cheque or bank transfer instead to create a paper trail of the transaction.They may be recommended if you cannot take other medicines such as bisphosphonates, or if you have severe osteoporosis. While Old Bones is the first official book of the Nora Kelly series, the first novel to actually feature Kelly as the main protagonist was 1999's Thunderhead.
