The bust measurement of Annette Kel-

and is substance of many marvellous
functions, among which is that of con-
trolling the tone of the tissues in the
body. If the supply of pituitrin is COM
pletely shut off there Immediately follows
a peculiar lethargy, unsteadiness of gait,
loss of appetite, emaciation and, in few
days, death.
If, in infancy, there is an insufficiency
OF this vital fluid, there is marked cessa-
ton in the growth of the child, and we
have dwarf. Pathologists have shown
that in several true human dwarfs the pit
uitary gland was inadequate.
On the other hand, this gland has the
peculiar power of acting as a stimulant
to the growth of bone and supporting tis-
sues. If, consequently, there is an excess
of pituitrin in infancy there results a
great elongation of the bones, which feed
ravenously on the fluid, and we have a
giant.
If the overaction of the gland begins
after adolescence, when the bones have
set and can grow no longer, there follows
peculiar diffuse enlargement of the in

of the pituitary gland They find that no
other gland of internal secretion can
adequately substitute for it, and without
the gland and its fluid, life ceases,
An interesting fact was revealed when
it was found that this gland apparentiS
has much to do with regulating the tenn
perature of the body. Experiments by
the scientists have shown that when there
is diminution of the pituitrin the tenn
perature of the body is lowered. Now,
some people are so constituted that they
can't "stand the cold" When Mrnter
comes they are quite miserable and like
to hug the stove or radiator, and out of
doors wear the heaviest coats they can
find In view of the effect that pituitrin
has on the temperature of the body, there
is reason to believe that these cold-blooded
persons are sub-pituitary, or lacking in
adequate or normal supply of the fluid
which seeps from the pituitary gland.
If part of the pituitary is removed there
follows d condition similar to that noted
in an animal that is alternating. There is
lowered blood pressure, lowered tempera-
ture and an increased insensitivity to pain.
This condition can be relieved by an in
lection Of an extract of the pituitary.
There are, also, people with hyperpitui-
tarism who exhibit the highest mental
powers. In shch cases overgrowth is not
so marked, the individual being lean and
mentally acute.
Another function of the pituitary is to
increase other bodily activity. This was
shown in experiments made on some hens,
pituitary being added to their food, there
by increasing their contribution Of eggs
by thirty per cent. The experiments were
tried at the time of year when eggs di-
minish. On an ordinary diet $50 hens
laid 20 eggs, but on the pituitary diet
their output rose to $50 eggs, a marked
increase.
But experiments have shown that the
most spectacular of its effects is that on
the stature of the individual.
Thus it is, at this late date, that science
has seemed to have solved the mystery Of

the giant and the dwarf, why a man
should occasionally grow to a height of
eight feet or more while another should
have to be content with the diminutive
stature of three. From a tiny bit of tis-
sue, which during years of medical re-
search remained unnoticed and neglected,
comes the potent fluid which could make
one man almost to the size of two. or, as
in the case of Ila McClung, one baby
equal almost the size of three.
Medical history is very interesting in its
accounts of children of ultra-mature de-
velopment. NOver-developed boys, as
rule, are of pretty, well-formed giant stat
me, while girls run to obesity. One of the
best known cases is the Tompkins child,
who at the age of thirteen months tipped
the scales at seventy-five pounds. So it
can be seen that the McClung baby is Civ
ing the Tompkins youngster a run for her
money. If the Louisiana lass can put on
weight the next four months as fast as she
has been lately she will beat out her noted
rival.
The citation of other historic cases fur
ther proves what physical marvel Baby
McClung is. The scientist, Cameron, de-
scribes a child, who, at birth weighed four
teen pounds, and at twelve months
weighed sixty-nine pounds. But this
youngster had big start on the McCl,.ng
baby, who, as has been stated, weighed
only six pounds at birth. The Cameron
baby increased its weight five times the
first year, while the McClung baby in less
than that period increased its weight eight
times.
Nor does the latter suffer in comparison
with other infant prodigies. Philip Ho-
measured, when three years old, three
feet four inches and weighed fftv-one
pounds. Of other modern cases on re-
cord, one at the age of three weighed
The Washington herald., 1922-11-19

fifty pounds and measured three feet and
six inches. Another at fifteen months
measured three feet and seven inches and
tipped the beam at sixty-four pounds. In
another remarkable case Of prematurity
the boys voice changed at twelve months
and at three years he weighed ffty-one
pounds and was three feet four inches
tall
Or. Dubois, of Paris. mentions an in
stance Of rapid growth in a boy of eleven,
who grew six inches in fifteen DAYS.
In all these cases the parents are re-
ported as having been of normal size as
the parents of the McClung marvel are.

At last reports Baby McClung was still

is n-tter of conjecture. She may con-
ti1ue to develop until she reaches the mag
nitude of circus ladies who have been
known to strain the scales with a weight
Of 900 pounds. On the other hand, the
adipose condition may be held up by the
reduction Of the activities of the above
described pituitary gland, voluntarily or
by medical treatment. Otherwise, she'll
be big girl when she gets her growth.

picture on this page.
At birth she gave no promise of physi-

only other child, a boy of about four
years, has developed in the way that rcgu-
lar boys are wont to do.

simply broke loose and set out to try to
break records. She developed so fast that
you could almost see her grow, and life

after another. And as for making a
record for herself, there are few cases in
medical annals where a child has reached
any such proportions as this young but
enormous Louisiana lass
