Observing that the rash was confined to those parts of the baby which would normally touch its mother's hair, he had a sudden hunch. A test on a clear patch of the baby's skin proved he was right: the child was allergic to the hair lacquer its mother used to keep her hair sleekly stiff. Within a week after the mother began to let hair lacquer alone, the baby...
