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. A bed in the hospital
improvised out of six ordinary beds, is
required id' accommodate hfra.

on the plans and specifications of the
new building and that officer approved
the same as being within the munciipal
requirements; but he could not reach
all members of the eity committee on
fire and waten and this phase of the
situation will be attended to at the
next session of the common council.
The plans and specifications recently
adopted by the Messrs. Fisher, show
the following conditions in and about
the new structure:
There will be six exit from the gal
lery floor of the house, embracing 19
feet of open stairway. The ground floor
exit will cover 241 feet of width-;
space; the main doorway being 10 feet
pipes, hose-reels, electrlo alarms of the
latest and best patterns; and the venti
lation of the building will be adapted to
the control and absorption of fire along
the stage, so aa to keep the auditorium
free from smoke and flames. Nothing
will be left undone to make it one of the
prettiest, safest and most comfortable
houses of the kind on the coast; and
when it is thrown open to the Astoria
public on or about the first of October
next it will be a monument to the gen
erous enterprise of its owners and pro
jectoss, Messrs. X. C. and F. A. Fisher
of this city.
