German Can Crack
- 49,. Nuts With His Lin

That nature can enable one part Of
the body to carry out the functions Of
another which has been lost Is demon
strated in the case of Otto Friedson,
a native Of Emunden, Germany, who
lost all his teeth at the age Of thirty
one, and presumably could not afford
a set Of false ones, says London An
swers.
His lips are now so strong and hard
that he can crack nuts with them and
can do nearly everything that the or
binary person, can do with his teeth.
He has been examined by many
medical men, who attribute his Won
derful power to hypertrophy of the
muscles Of the lips, which have in
creased enormously in thickness and
firmness.
This man has been an inveterate
pipe smoker all his life, and much
Of the power of his lips is attributed
to holding heavy pipe between
them.
