Lettering
Biggest man in the world. Mr. E. Naucke, ...
Lettering continues: "born on the 2nd of May, 1855, near Wismar, was of normal proportions up to the age of fifteen, from which period he acquired the tremendous muscular powers of which many of his fellow students can certainly testify. At twenty he weighed 212 lb., and now, in the prime of life, he weighs 410 lb. He is not fat, but is made up of sheer muscle and flesh."
