108/108 Figure 175 represents the well-known Ohio "living skeleton," J.W.Coffey, who has been exhibited all over the Continent. His good health and appetite were proverbial among his acquaintances. As a prominent example of this class the exhibitionist, Rosa Lee Plemons at the age of eighteen weighed only 27 pounds. Figure 177 shows another case of extraordinary atrophic condition of all the tissues of the body associated with nondevelopment. These persons are always sickly and exhibit all the symptoms of progressive muscular atrophy, and cannot therefore be classed with the true examples of thinness, in which the health is but slightly affected or possibly perfect health is enjoyed.. |
