When thirty-six years of age, she was no longer able to accompany her husband, and took her place at the door of a church, to beg her bread. Her height was five feet one inch, and her circumference five feet two inches. Her head, which was small in proportion to her size, was almost lost between two enormous shoulders, giving her an appearance of immobility. A furrow, several inches deep, was the only boundary between the head and chest. Her breasts were enormous. Looking at her from behind, the shoulders were elevated by fat, and formed two huge protuberances. The arms stood out from the body, in consequence of cushions of fat in the armpits. On observing the plaster cast of this person, the right side will be seen to be much more developed than the left, owing to her habit of lying on that side, and the fat gravitating towards it. For several years she was able to walk from her dwelling to the station at the church door, about a mile; but finally she was compelled to stay at home. She suffered, while walking, from loss of breath, and had violent palpitations of the heart. She was unable to lie down, from a sense of impending suffocation, and was obliged to retain an upright position night and day, seated in an arm-chair. Under these circumstances, nature soon gave out. She fell sick, and was taken to the hospital, where she died. About twenty years ago there was a German in Paris, named Frederick Arrhens. He was then twenty years of age, and weighed four hundred and fifty pounds. In circumference he measured five feet five inches, which corresponded exactly with his stature. He was poor, and had lived chiefly on vegetable and milk diet.
