 and "never sick," died of pneumonia at 47 years, and had the appmxn 

 formula 180/66.5 inches; build 2.9 (41). His mother, who died at 48 >• 

 of "abscess on the back" after years of ailing, was of slender build. Bay, 2.0 

 (28). Thus, probably on account of the tubercular tendency, the Fat! 

 build is slender like his mother.

 in youth, but in middle life suffered from "obesity, rheumatism, and vari< 

 veins," was genial and a ready and humorous talker; at 61 years her

 pneumonia in middle life and suffered much from "delicate lungs," died of a 

 pulmonary abscess at 37 years; her formula, 194/63 inches; build 3.5 (49). 

 Thus the Mother's build is just like her mother's. Of the 5 children who 

 grew up :

 rheumatism, at 34 years has the formula 162/66 inches; build 2.6 (87);

 the fleshier side of the house; but variability between indices 40 and 33 is 

 marked (R : Har-15).
