Napoleon was physically of CB standard, and would have been rejected if he attempted to fight in the Great "War, according to Dr. Thoris, of the French Morphological Society. He says: "At the ago of seventeen, when he became an officer, I would have been compelled to reject Napoleon because he was over thin; at thirty "because he was overfat; and .at' any other age he should have been rejected on the ground of low chest measurement. Ho had a body without lungs, stomach, or muscle."
