CHAPTER VII
85/108

This child, who was of Russian descent, was said never to perspire.
Cameron describes a child who at birth weighed 14 pounds, at twelve months she weighed 69 pounds, and at seventeen months 98 pounds.

She was not weaned until two years old and she then commenced to walk.

The parents were not remarkably large.

There is an instance of a boy of thirteen and a half who weighed 214 pounds.

Kaestner speaks of a child of four who weighed 82 pounds, and Benzenberg noted a child of the same age who weighed 137.
