INTRODUCTION IN THE year 1942, Albright, Burnett, Smith, and Parson1first reported three cases of pseudohypoparathyroidism which they termed Seabright Bantam syndrome because of the end-organ apparently being refractory to endocrine stimulation. This is a relatively rare condition. There are about 16 cases reported in the literature.* This report is Case 17 and is the youngest on record. The syndrome is characterized by (1) hypocalcemia, (2) hyperphosphatemia, (3) manifestations of tetany, and (4) calcium deposits in the basal ganglia and subcutaneous tissue.14In this condition, biopsy shows normal parathyroid tissue and the patients fail to respond to parathyroid extract. Clinically, the patient demonstrates a moon-shaped face, strabismus, short neck, brachydactylia due to early fusion of the metacarpals, obesity, and short stature. Respiratory symptoms, tetany, or other central nervous system manifestations may be present. Mental retardation is a common problem. The differential diagnosis must include Mongolism and cretinism.

INTRODUCTION Ulcerative colitis is not rare in children. Bargen and Kennedy1recently reviewed 139 patients observed during a period of 10 years. Smaller groups of cases have been described by others* During the 18 years 1936 to 1954, eighty instances of ulcerative colitis in children have been observed at the University of Chicago. The purpose of this report is to describe four selected patients, illustrating important diagnostic and therapeutic aspects of this complex illness. Case1.—N. M., a 14-year-old white girl student, first experienced mild diarrhea while vacationing in Florida in January, 1953. On returning to Chicago, her bowel movements became numerous and bloody. Although Endamoeba histolytica never was identified, she was treated elsewhere with emetine and later oxytetracycline (Terramycin). After initial improvement, the symptoms recurred, but responded to bed rest and a bland diet. Roentgen examination elsewhere, in November, 1953, indicated minimal changes in the right colon and

THE ROLE of strychnine in homicide and suicide is well established in the annals of legal medicine and toxicology. Occasionally strychnine is featured as the agent in accidental poisonings, the most tragic being those cases involving fatalities in children due to their ingestion of some candy-coated proprietary drug or medicine containing the poison. This communication is an account of such a case. REPORT OF CASE A 15-month-old white boy had been playing in his parents' bedroom. The parents noticed that the infant looked ill, and he cried out as if in pain. These symptoms were followed by jerking movements and appearance of a blue coloration of the skin. The baby was rushed to the nearest medical facility, and while en route it was necessary for the father to administer artificial respiration on two separate occasions. As the child had been seen playing with "camphor balls," a history of suspected poisoning
