CORPS OF WET NURSES CATERS TO QUINTUPLETS Five Tiny Ontario Babies Ordered on Natural Diet by Doctor. United Press NORTH BAY, Ont., June I.—A corps of wet nurses arrived at the Dionne farmhouse today, where five tiny human mites, born in one childbed to the amazement of scientists throughout the world, flourished in an old-fashioned hot water incubator. Dr. H. A. Dafoe, who attended the extraordinary accouchement of Mis. Olivia Dionne, ordered the quintuplet girls on a natural diet. The wet nurses came from the neighborhood. Human milk also was sent from Chicago. Heretofore the babies had received milk mixed with corn syrup through an eye-dropper. Dr. Dafoe weighed the babies when they were taken out of the incubator for feeding and found that the largest weighed one and three quarters pounds. The others were only slightly smaller. The babies weighed a little more at birth. Although approximately one month premature, Dr. Dafoe believed all had excellent chance to live. Because the Dionne farmhouse is not wired for electricity a modern incubator sent from Chicago was of no' use. The hot water incubator was set up under the physician’s direction. Dr. Dafoe found the organs and functions of all the babies sound. The two larger of the five are permitted to stay in a basket at their mother’s bedside part of the time. The other three spend all their time in the incubator. Dr. Dafoe, a typical country doctor, was smiling and enthusiastic although he had been up most of the night at another farmhouse, delivering a baby. His pockets were stuffed with letters and telegrams from medical men in all parts of the world propounding questions concerning the quintuplets. Only a few cases of quintuplets are recorded in medical history and none survived longer than a few hours after birth. He was positive the babies were identical, not fraternal. He thought that if they survived three weeks it could be safely said they would have the same chance to live as a baby born under usual circumstances. .. “Ride” Victim Found It;/ United Press CHICAGO, June I.—Chicago’s second “ride” victim in a week was found sprawled on a southwest highway today. The dead man, who appeared to be about 40, had been shot five times through the head, apparently after a struggle.
