MULTIPLE BIRTH IS RARE AMONG HUMAN BEINGS Only 35 Cases of Quintuplets Are Known to Men of Science. Tilt* I* f*rt i mi irlirlri rnr*rnint multiple htrtht. tJf Srimr* F'n (C Man usually com” into this world as he leave* it—alone. That is ?hy the Dionne quintuplets create such infcres! I> ible bihhs are common enough so that you probably have among your own acquaintance at least one pair of twins, but births of numbers than two are extrcmelv IHC Not more than about thirtyfive authenticated cases of the birth of q iintuplets. like the Dionne et of five, ever have been recorded in medical history. Not over a half dozen c*cs of the birth of six infants at one time ar“ known to science. Fuch multiple births have hern reported much oftener. and newspaper dispatches from foreign parts recently have told of cases of six, seven, eight and even ten infants born on a single occasion. Such report:, however, usually are from great distances, and arc v ithout verification Scientists suspect either a garbling or exaggeration in the transmission of the tale, or a more or less deliberate hoax. For those who have studifd human anatomy believe that if more than six children were crowded together within a single mother, they must of neeesitv be so small that they could nor possibly survive unless it should be with the most modern methods of rare for premature and under-developed infants. Nevertheless, in the old town of Hamclin. famed for its Pied Piper and the children who flocked after him, a tablet on the front of a house commemorates the birth of seven childrrn at one time at .1 o'clock in the morning on Jan. 9. 18tv> The tablet s inscription may have been a slight and pardonable exaggeration on the part of some early booster committee or Chamber of Commerce, or it may in fact be a fable like that of the Piper himself or like the story of Lady Margaret Countess of Holland who is reputed to have given birth in 1313 to no less than 363 children at one and the same time. The survival, even of quadruplets, is extremely rare. So far as is known, the lovely Keys girls, now distinguished students in Bavlor university. Texas, are the onlv quadruplets who ha\e grown to adulthood in this country. The Dionne quintuplets are the onlv ones positively known to have had even one of their number live as long as ten weeks.
