DATE OF BIRTH AND THE STATURE.
Investigations recently made in Europe and the United States are said to have completely established the fact that the time of the year at which children are born has a marked influence on their stature. Boys born in November are generally the shortest, and those who first see the light in July are the tallest. Taking an average, male children who come into the world in the autumn or winter do not ; ; grow so tall as those born at other seasons. As for girls, the tallest are those born in August, and the shortest whose birthdays are in January. Spring and winter are the seasons of short stature for the gentler sex, and autumn is favourable to heights.
