Life Not Easy
It is no easy life, that of an ex-
tremely fat man. DR.. Hundreds
patient, for instance, always had
to pay 40 per cent extra for his
clothes on account of the extra
material required. About the only
things that he could buy at an
ordinary store were handkerchiefs
and neckties. He could not get
into an ordinary bathtub. He was
a good swimmer but his appear
ance in a pool created so much
comment that he had to give up
what was practically his only
pleasure.
"Innumerable broken chairs and
shattered beds marked his spoor as
he ponderously and placidly ambled
through life" He drove his own
car, a low priced coach, whose
drivers seat had been set back ten
inches from it's ordinary position.
He had an enormous appetite.
and it remained consistently enor-
nous. He INDUCED his craving for
candies and ice cream immoder-
ately. His vision and hearing were
normal and his mind very active.
He was particularly good at math-
ematics and at accounting.
His weight at birth is not re-
corded, but | e was known to be
plump, and his family history was
negative except for a paternal
grandmother who weighed 800
pounds. His health all his life was
good except for minor ailments
that might afflict anybody. He
died at the age of 46. suddenly and
accidentally. He needed only the
usual seven or eight hours sleeps
at night. and he was said to be
friendly and fun-loving. shrewd
and competent.
