Physical Traits. They are generally large and strong, but have a bestial look, and tend to extreme obesity in middle age. Many are subject to chronic tonsilitis [sic]. [strikeout] They are gourmands and drunkards, and frequently sex offenders of perverted, and violent types. [end strikeout]

They endure sickness with a stoic rather apathetic attitude, and I have not yet been called upon to treat one for any disease [strikeout] of [end strikeout] without some gross and obvious physical lesion.
