FREE BLEEDERS,
A Curious Tendency That Manifssts
Itself in Otherwise Apparently
Healthy Versions.

Among the members of some families
there exists curious tendency to
bleed profusely from the slightest in
jury. An insignificant cut on the finger,
or even pin scratch, will sometimes
bleed so obstinately as to almost en-
| danger life, and many subjects of this
strange condition do actually bleed to
death from trivial wounds, which in
healthy person would not cause five
| minutes of discomfort.
In addition to the Importance Of
haemophilia, as the affection is called,
as a menace to life it affords most in
teresting study in heredity. The dis
ease runs in families and is transmitted
from one generation to another accord
ing to curiously complex law.
1t affects the male members of the
family almost exclusively. The chill
dren of man who is "bleeder" often
show no tendency in themselves to the
loss of blood from slight wounds, and
his sons children are likewise free from
the trouble; but the male children of
the daughters are again bleeders. Thus
the males of the. family in every sec
ond generation suffer, yet the tendency
is transmitted in the female line.
This looks like a malignant effort
on the part Of nature to preserve the
tendency from extinction; for were it
transmitted only through the male line,
the boys and men only being bleeders,
the families would soon die out and
the disease with them. AS it is, the
tendency persists through many gen
erations, one family being known in
which it has been evident for more than
two centuries.
Except for anaemia due to repeated
hemorrhages, bleeders usually show no
signs of i'll health. They do not often
reach adult life, but when they do they
gradually outgrow the disposition.
Boys who suffer from this condition
are almost always covered with black
and blue spots, the slightest tap on the
skin often resulting in new discolora-
ton. A wound is not always necessary
to bring on the bleeding, and profuse
and even fatal hemorrhage, perhaps in
the form of nose-bleed, may start sud-
denly without apparent cause.
The treatment of an attack of hem
orrhage in a bleeder is the same as that
for any other person, but it must be
more energetic. The boys in bleeder
family should of course always be I'M
der physicians care. Fortunately the
number of such families, in this coun-
try, at least is small.-Youth's Com
