BRAIN SMALLER THAN CHILD’S

Late Dr. Musser Shown to Have Developed Along One Lino _ Only, Philadelphia.—Experts at the Wister Institute of Anatomy have just completed the examination of the brain of Dr. John H. Musser, a noted diagnostician who died recently. They found that Dr. Musser’s brain weighed less than that of a well-developed child. It was 20 ounces lighter than the brain of Daniel Webster and 24 ounces lighter than that of James Fisk, the New York gambler who was murdered a few years ago. Scientists say Dr. Musser developed along one line, not broadening out in all lines, and therefore not fully developing all parts of the brain.
