~ OK some time 1t has been looking as though cousins
in the royal houses of Europe would have to stop
marrying one another. lnermarriage has simply
ruined the family health.
The Spanish royal house has been the sickest
on the list. Ex-king Alfonso worried along for years
before the revolution upset his apple acknowledging
what he would do for an heir. His two older sons were
victims of haemophilia. the inherited blood disease that
clinss to old and weakened families. One daughter, Prin-
cess Beatrice. was said to be a victim. also. The two
younger sons were naturally backward because Of their
blood.
But now. just when Alfonso's crown has been removed.
there Is hope that a cure tor the disease may have been
discovered in the medical laboratory of the departments of
medicine and o~rthopedcs at the University of Illinois Col
lege Of Medicine.
Haemophiia is the inability Of the blood to clot. The
slightest scratch or wound results in excessive bleeding.
which may cause death. If a haemophiliac's nose starts
to bleed there is absolutely no hope. The drawing of a
tooth is almost impossible.
The disease is hereditary. Women transmit It to their
sons. although they themselves and their daughters seldom
have il. Until the recent discovery. it has been incurable.
When women marry blood relatives. as the royalty have
usually done. the chances of the disease being transmitted
are greatly increased. And when there is impoverished
blood on the masculine side Of the household the disease
is multiplied still more.
WHEN it was announced not long ago that Princess
w Beatrice and Princess Christine. daughters of former
King Alfonso. may marry their cousins, Princes
Alvaro and Alonzo OF Orleans Bourbon. the question arose
as to what chance their children will have of escaping
haemophilia. The answer was-almost no chance.
just as tneT moucI, queen NiNtOiId, COMES o q lin
which transmits the disease. e~ugenists agree, the two prin-
cesses will probably do the same. More so. because they
are marrying their own FIRST cousins.
But now thin blood can be thickened. Royal cousins
can marry. The cause and cure Of the disease that has
bafled medical men for generations has been determined.
The blood contains certain bodies called pIatelets. which
are necessary for the clotting of the blood. These piateets
conglomerate around a puncure and form a barrier that
checks the flow Of blood. Or rather. that is the proceed
ure in a normal individual. In a haemophiiac this doesn't
happen. The platelets won't break up and come 10 the aid.
And the reason that they wont. It has been discovered.
is because the men who have this disease lack femaleness.
There are certain ovarian substances that they do not have
which must be supplied before they can be normal. .
To be healthy a man must possess a certain amount OF

and King Alfonso recently took his eldest
daughter. Princess Beatrice. to London
for the sole purpose Of undergoing treat

European method.

disease back to their great grandmother. Queen Victoria
of England.
Queen Victoria was strong and healthy and energetic,
both mentally and physically. She lived to be 81 years
old. Nose bleed. teeth extractions. excitement didn't bother
her at all. But she married her first cousin. and there the
trouble started.
Queen Victoria was the daughter Of the late Duke Of
Kent and Princess Victoria Marie Louise. youngest daugh-
ter of the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. a branch of the Batten-
berg family. Princess Victoria Marie Louise had been
married once before.
The man that Queen Victoria married was her first
cousin, Albert Of Saxe-Coburg. Since it was the Bauen-
berg blood that the queen and her husband shared in COM
mon. haemophilia, which resulted from their union, IS some
times called the Battenberg curse.

tora, made matters worse. She married Henry OF
Battenberg. also in the family. And their daughter.

Victoria Eugene, or Princess Ena. as she used to be
called. was Just Is at the time. She was strong and
healthy and all the Spanish people rejOiced. Princess Ena
knew very well that she was being chosen mainly because
Spain wanted a queen who was physically 6t.
Alfonso lineage didn't have much life left in its worm
out blood. 1t went back to the ancient Bourbons Of France
and Spain and tied itself up with the Hapsburgs. There
had been plenty Of ~proAigacy and physical deseneracy
along the line. The Hapsburg lip, which the Spanish

than it should of salt, or more than it should, finds that the
platelets are opposing it. This resistance has to be over
come. When ovarian extracts are supplied 1t is. The
blood coagulates in normal time. Wounds stop bleeding.
Two brothers were chosen as hst patients for the ex-
pertinent at the University of Illinois. They were high
grade specimens.
The younger boy. 10 years old. was observed for 10
months before his treatment started. The college wanted
to make sure that it was dealing with a genuine bleeder.
No one had any doubt of it at the end OF that time.
Several times the boy was admitted to the hospital when
he was bleeding dangerously. Blood transfusons were
given. Even then il took more than an hour for the blood
to elot. 1t was quite plain that such bleeding spells would
soon kill the child.
CTARTING on May 5. 1880. he was given ovarian
extract daily until Jan. I. 1881. No symptoms Of
h~aemophiia had appeared when he was last examined.
He is as normal as though he had never had the disease.

king, then only II, had inherited, showed
how much inter-breeding there had been.
If enough new blood had entered the
family. the lip would have disappeared.
The whole Of Spain agreed that it was
a mighty good thing Alfonso was going
to have a healthy young English girl for
a bride. His family blood was worn out.

drawn by eight white horses whose silded
harnesses sparkled saily. Wine flowed
from the public fountains. The 800
pound wedding cake was generously
passed around.
And after that everyone waited eager

Prince of Asturias. the Crown Prince
Alfonso. was born. the Battenberg curse
appeared.
