Like most hereditary constitutional anomalies, its transmis- sion consists in a tendency only, and it may also be included amongst those affections which occur at corresponding, periods of life. Thus it may occur during infancy, or not until the fortieth year or thereabouts, and later. It has not yet been determined whether sex has any influence on the hereditariness of this affection, or whether the male or female parent has most to do with the transmission of the tendency, It is more than pro...bable, however, that the predisposition more frequently descends from and to the same sex viz. , from father to son, and from mother to daughter. Immermann, in discussing the peculiarities of constitution upon which the inherited corpulence can depend, enumerates the following viz. , hereditary differences in the rapidity of blood formation, dependent upon the new growth of red corpuscles ; hereditary differences in the trophic and plastic energy of the other tissues of the body ; and hereditary differences in the quantity, function, and proliferating capa- city of the fat-carrying connective tissue and its vascular apparatus.
