His helpless arms out-thrown.

His hair in wanton play.

But tied with ribbon blue
They found package. and it held
A baby's tiny shoe.
Half worn and old button off,

With reverence they wrapped 1t close
And tied the faded string,
And laid 1t on the peaceful breast

Albinism is a very ancient phenom-
enon since Ctesias, who lived 416 B.
c.. described IT as existing in India,
and we have further mention OF the
condition In Pliny. 1t was only at the
end of the seventeenth century. how
ever, that the characteristics of this
congenltal affection were studied an
affection which up to that time had
been considered -erroneously II is true
AS condition of the skin. More
recently Sachs-an albino and at the
same time scientist-showed that
the hair of alblnos contained less iron
than that Of individuals of normal
constitution. Baudrlmont further prov
ed that the iron found in the hair
came exclusively from Elementary
granulations which have their seat in
the deep mucous layers. Thus the con
dtion under discussion is solely
caused by the complete or partial alb
sence of iron in the lower bed Of the
skin.
