Mother's marks or Naevi.These birth marks are associated in the popular mind with numerous curious fables. Every deformity of a new-born child, whether it consists merely in a discoloration of the skin or in more serious departure from the natural condition, is explained by supposing that the mother during her pregnancy had witnessed some scene or beheld some object, the sight of which had impressed itself upon her memory and upon the body of her unborn child. These wine marks, so called, are attributed to such causes ; in one instance the mother asserts that she had, a fe\£ months previous to the birth of the child, seen an individual with blood on his face, exactly in the location in which the discoloration subsequently appeared on the face of her child. It is needless to say that there is no foundation whatsoever for such explanation of these deformities. These fables are merely evidences of the curious fancies which have always been invented to explain the unknown. In consequence of the superstitious ideas associated with the origin of these mother's marks, there has prevailed a belief that these deformities should not be corrected lest some harm should happen to the individual. This, too, is a mistaken idea, as has been often demonstrated by the removal of such marks. There is no objection on this score to removing mother's marks ; but there is often considerable difficulty in the execution of this plan. Various procedures have been devised and carried out by surgeons for the relief of this condition, but until recently, all of them have required some interference by means of the knife or of caustic. It is, however, now possible to remove many of these mother's marks without injury to the patient, but such measures can be successfully carried out only with the apparatus and skill of the surgeon.
