Irvin S. Cobb, a large man by his own cheerful admission, takes issue with a doctor who claims fat people are happier, and then works his way over the rest of the body. Four comic essays deal with tummies, teeth, hair, and hands and feet, from vest buttons that will not close to the trials of the dentist’s chair.
