    First year of marriage.—Both parents syph- ilitic. Second year.—A girl born, no special symptoms. Fourth year.—A girl which died at birth. Fifth year.—A miscarriage at three months. Seventh year.—A girl born which suffered severely (see below). Ninth year.—A girl which died at birth. Eleventh year.—A girl which died at birth. Fourteenth year.—Mother the subject of paraly- sis in left side. Sixteenth year.—Girl born in seventh year; under my care for disease of bone and affection of the eyes. Teeth typical of inherited taint. This narrative proves long persistence of taint and liability to transmit to offspring. Commentary 223 gives the history of a family as follows:— Mrs W., married nineteen years, aged forty- three. First child died at eleven months of “ bronchitis and water on the brain,” “ not a healthy infant,” “ bad thrush.” Second child a miscarriage at four months. Third child had snuffles and thrush very badly indeed, when fifteen years old had bad eyes.
