A Central American newspaper reports a Sao Paulo man well over 100 who is growing young again. He has new teeth and darkening hair, remains active in business as a horse trader, rides long distances daily, and has been married three times before becoming a wealthy widower. The tale notes a past tumor cured by being cored by an ox.
A New York Sun report notes tall women raise men’s height perception as heels and hats grow. Shoemaker and Broadway merchants blame tall girls for fashioning taller footwear and higher hats, boosting short men’s height illusion.
