J 7+j- i V Years ago a Child, monftrous by its 
Size, and a Strength which its Age could not natu- 
rally afford. It was born at Rouan , and is a Prodigy 
of Virility, of Three Years and Two Months of Age, 
perhaps One Month older, and is now in the Hofpital 
a t Rouan. It has a very large Neck, the Bread: very 
broad, and the Belly bigger than in its natural State. 
The upper Part of the Thighs is a little thickifh, the 
reft is conformable to its Age. He has Hair only 
about the Privy Parts ; the Penis is Three Inches 
long when there is no Eredion, but of Six when 
there is any. They have found him to have Emif- 
fions. The Fad is very true, and M. Le Cat , F. R. S. 
a Surgeon at Roiian } has fully traced it out. — -
