E. d. Roberts, of London. is re-
sponsible for the story Of this
physical freak. The man cannot
feel pain, cold or heat; has no
sense of taste or smell, does not
know what fatigue means and is
apparently without emotions,
affections or dislikes. He was
discovered at a hospital at AL

treated for mumps. 81 myself

taper against his naked arm and
then unconcernedly pick off the

says. BLOWS on the head with
a poker and plunging his fingers

he didn't even realize anything
was happening. His body is COW

wounds he has inflicted upon
himself either for bets or to as

that, the fans will be peeved and the
