Her manners were infantile and her intellectual development was much retarded.

She spoke with difficulty in a deep voice; she had a most voracious appetite.
At a meeting of the Physical Society of Vienna on December 4, 1894, there was shown a girl of five and a half who weighed 250 pounds.

She was just shedding her first teeth; owing to the excess of fat on her short limbs she toddled like an infant.

There was no tendency to obesity in her family.

Up to the eleventh month she was nursed by her mother, and subsequently fed on cabbage, milk, and vegetable soup.
