A Belgian physician, Dr. Demoor, reports via the London Lancet that ordinary people, especially children, fail to detect small weight differences, while the imbecile or half-witted do notice them. In a test with two bottles equal in weight but differing in size, 880 children aged six to fifteen tasted and weighed them. 870 chose one as heavier while ten claimed they balanced. The ten were deemed abnormal or degenerate.
