Heredity seems to have little to do with his abnormal | size, since both his parents, his brothers and sisters, even his im- ! mediate ancestors, fail to show any trace of being oversized. Wad- : low's growth is due to an enlarged pituitary gland which started to 1 function shortly after birth and resulted in his being six feet tall ’ and weighing 178 pounds when nine years old!
