Pembry, lecturer on physiology at Guy's hospital in a discussion before the Royal Sanitary Institute. This {he bases on a careful study of the | fighting capacity of tall and short races and also of the tall men and short men of the same race. The difference in height between a +short man and a tall man, said Dr. Pembrey, is due chiefly to the length of leg. At the same time height | depends upon the corrélated activity | | of certain glands which produce in- ternal secretions. The essential or- gang in the head and trunk are often better developed in the shott than in the tall man, the wei ht of brain be- ing relatively greater In the short man and the reaction time not long. Tall men of full proportions are heavy and slow, and there are strong physiological reasons for the greater activity of the small man, who does not suffer from the mechanical dis- advantages of height and weight. 80 Therefore, the small man has a great- | # | er capacity for work and more endur- ance and is better able to resist dis ease. Although giving the verdict to the | short man, the doctor warned his I hearers of the danger of rushing to} | extremes.
