Ten At A Birth

One of the best-known physicians in the city, apropos of the case reported in Indiana of the Germán f armer's wifo who presented him with six childrea of practically the same age, said: "Even triplets are quit rare, and such cases as this are still more rare; yet ii stances are recorded in medical annals of the birth of six, seven, eight, nine, and even ten children at one time. It i& very rare, however, that any of the children live where there are more than two at a birth, although a case is recordcd by Chambón of quintuplets. all of whom Burvived their baptísm for a short period. I heard not long agoof a Texas woman who gare birth to six children, and there is a case in Chicago where four f ully-developed children were boni, who lived for some time. According to statistics kept by Dr. Churchill, of England, twins occur once in SO blrths, but of 37,441 births five cases only were those of triplets.
