Facts About Giants,

That very few of the giants who
have ever lived have been healthy or
well formed recent researches prove
beyond a doubt. All we know about
Goliath is that he was very tall. but in
the second book Of Kings we reaG
about another giant, who had more
fingers than an ordinary human being,
and. according to modern scientists
this is invariably a token of degen-
eracy. Marcel DOnnal saw at Milan 4"
giant who was so tall that his body
filed two beds at night. but who's,
legs were so weak that he could hard
ly stand upright William Evans. the
