The Irregularities of pigmentation popularly known as "liver , spots" have nothing to do with the Hver or Its functions. A mole is a nmnll round stain or pigmented spot, usually elevated a . bit above the level of the skin. In omo instances present at birth, in othera appearing later In life. The medical term for mole Is nevus. Most of thesp moles or nevl are benign und cnll for no treatment unless they are such a blemish that the hid ivl dual wishes to have them obliterated or removed. Home ot them d6 ultimately develop Into 'malignant growths, cancer, and for that reason It Is generally advisable to have moles removed, particu larly, when they show certain changes in appearance after some years, such as' increased .pigmentation or color nnd increased vascularity or forma tion, of little blood vessels in tho inole i- H tendency to ulcerate and bleed from flight injuries. . Such changes', which warrant the suspicion of a cancer, poinetimes occur in a little mole 6r nevus which hns given no trouble for, 20 30 or more years. It Is unwise to attempt to oblit erate or destroy moles; with caustics. for that adds Irritation, predisposes to ordinary infection (blood poison ing), produces very unsightly sear formations and too often fails to remove the- mole.
