OTHER MIDGETS AND DWARFS

Princess Pauline - The smallest human being who ever lived was Pauline Muster,a litter midget girl from Holland who was exhibited as "Princess Pauline".The fragile creature, who weighed a mere 9 pounds at her heaviest, was 12 inches long when she was born at Ossendrecht on February 26, 1876. She never grew beyond 23-1/2 inches tall and her vital statistics were 47-48-43 ... centimeters! Her exact dimensions were recorded despite the fact that as ever, her pee show bosses advertised her as being only 19 inches tall. Sadly, she became an alcoholic and, with a weakened heart and also suffering from pneumonia and meningitis, she died at the age of 19 in New York on March 1, 1895.

Jack Fyfe, 75, was paralyzed by a stroke at his home in Sydney, Australia, in December 1991. He was kept alive for nine days by Trixie, his pet sheepdog, who kept soaking a towel in her drinking bowl and draping it over her owner's face so that he could suck it. Trixie remained at the foot of the bed the whole time, except to wet the towel whenever Mr. Fyfe called "water". Whe the bowl was dry, Trixie took water from the lavatory. Mr. Fyfe's daughter eventually found him when he failed to turn up for a family dinner. By then, he had loast four stone in weight.
