PECULIAR DISEASE IN ENGLAND BIG MAN SHRINKING TO NOTHING AND SMALL MAN GETTING VERY BIG DOCTORS PUZZLED AT THE STRANGE PHENOMENON! LONDON, July 8. Two very peculiar cases are reported by the medical papers which are the exact antithesis of each other. In Birmingham is a man who is gradually diminishing Sn .size and in Manchester is another man who is slowly getting bigger. Sixteen years ago Albert Milla of Birmingham, was nearly six feet tall, weighing 190 pounds, and a big, sturdy. robust man, an engraver by trade. To day be is shrunken to less than four feet and every bit of him except the head is gradully getting to infantile size. He sleeps in a baby's cot, is totally blind, but has all hi other faculties. His affliction is known a osteomalacias. It is a very rare, and a diease hitherto scarcely ever known outside one district in Northern Italy and one on the Rhine in Germany. The bones turn to chalk, and fracture at the slightest touch, and the flesh becomes as. wax, and shrinks. If Mr. Mills lives for another 16 years he will have wasted away to a mere doll He is now 48 years old. In the Royal Infirmary in Manchester is John Davis, 42 years old. He has a disease known as acrohmegaly .also a rare one but known in the United States at BellevueHospital. New York. The man hateen growing to absurd proportions, even' bis eyes growing larg er. He is so, big now that he cannot walk, anifTA is SnTy'fi matter of months before he will die.
