A Wonderful Case.

A most wonderful ca?e, of which medical science has no record, has been reported. It is (writes the New York correspondent of the Age) • that of an individual who is alleg d to be slowly turning from man to monkey. The man in question is John Molausky, a Polish Jew, 41 years old. He was well and sound until six years ago, when he began to * suffer from headache, which ateadily increased in frequency and Be verity, and in about a year he began to observe his features were ohanging. His jaws became mis shapen so that his teeth gave him much trouble. His voice changed so that his friends could not recognise it, and his stomach began to reject the food which he took. His eyes grew farther apart, the bridge of hia nose widened, his forehead became lower, the no3triU wera drawn baok, and the hair in his beard and on his head became coarser and stronger.. His lips grew thioker, his jaw protruded, and as it did so the lips became broader and the mouth wider. His eyebrows became heavier, the cheek bones more prominent, and the hand 3 and feet enlarged until the former are now fuljy twice the size of ac ordinary person. The fingers arc more than twice as large as the} should be. Altogether the case is one of the most remarkable knowc to medical science.
