A curious case was that of a woman of twenty-three (Mrs.Viola M.), who from the age of three had a considerable quantity of hair on the side of the cheek which eventually became a full beard.

She was quite feminine was free from excessive hair elsewhere, her nose and forehead being singularly bare.

Her voice was very sweet; she was married at seventeen and a half, having two normal children, and nursed each for one month.
"The bearded woman" of every circus side-show is an evidence of the curious interest in which these women are held.

The accompanying illustration is a representation of a "bearded woman" born in Bracken County, Ky.

Her beard measured 15 inches in length.
There is a class of anomalies in which there is an exaggerated development of hair.
