Hobbits seem to very "sturdy" indeed. Frodo did not succumb to the Morgul blade, (even though he came close) such a wound could have felled stronger men than him. Even when Merry went outside in Bree to get some fresh air and felt "something horrible creeping near" which of course was a black rider. Knowing that the riders were persuing them what did he do? He FOLLOWED the rider! How many "representative" members of any other race would do such a thing? Even Aragorn was amazed at Merry's fortitude and qiuck recovery from the Black Breath. Hobbits seem very stout in mind and health.
