INFANT BORN
WITHOUT BRAIN
Medical World is Astounded
at Phenornena-Child Liv-
ed for Forty Hours, Prov
ing Human May Live
Without Brains-No Ex-
PLANTATION.
BY Associated Press.

New York. Aug. 4.-As a refuta-
ton of the axiom that no human be-
ing can live without a brain, the ply
sicians of Bellevue hospital are citing
the case of Marie GaicamO, who died
at that institution last night at the
age of 40 hours. An autopsy revealed
the fact that she had come into the
world practically brainless. The child,
when hours old, was taken to the
hospital by ner father, Leonardo Gal
camo. He said he had brought the
child for treatment because there
was something wrong with its head.
When the child was unwrapped from
yoluminous clothes it was Almost a
startling sight. Its head was almost
| fiat on top, and its eyes stood out
From their sockets. It was, however,
breathing normally and cried as an
ordinary infant. Unlike most infants
I less than a day old. it took nourish-
ment greedily.
1t was thought at the hospital that
the shape of the childs head was
malformation. II was not dreamed
that the infant was wholly without
brain matter.
Last night, however, the child died
while IL was being fed. There was
nothing TO indicate approaching death
and no struggle. Simply the INFANT
ceased TO breathe. An autopsy reveal
ed that beyond a rudimentary cere-
bEum that was scarcely more than an
Indication, the infant had absolutely
no brain.
