History. —E. P., aged 4 months; Italian. The infant's mother and father were alive and well. One sister of the patient, 18 months old, was enjoying good health.

He had been fed on the breast and, with the exception of an occasional vomiting spell, which the mother attributed to "too much milk," the infant had had no grave physical disturbances. The
