You and yours should PROSPERIZE Fi CUNDITY So much publicity has been given the Dionne quintuplets born to French-Canadian parents the average individual is almost forced to the conclusion that this is the first time such an event has taken place. A search of medical records, however, shows that while it is rather unusual, it has been dupli cated many times and in several instances exceeded. Some years ago a woman in Mayfield, Kentucky, had six babies within four hours, two of them are still alive. More recent ly a slender farm woman living near Mendon, Mo., aged 36, pre sented her husband with five boys and one girl, the little girl born first, and weighing ten pounds. All of the little ones were prematurely born, which is typical of multiple births. Not very long ago three boys and three girls were bom, at in tervals of a half hour, to a 22- year-old woman in North Dakota, all but one dying within twenty four hours afterwards. It is rather strange that rural districts are more prolific in this respect than urban centers —just why no one can say. Other medical writers incline to the belief that the birth rate of this type is influenced by warm climates, and fortify their statements by figures, but never theless, it is true that Sweden, a cold country, leads the world in large families, while Iceland with in the Arctic Circle, averaged twenty children to every married couple, until a plague swept over the country, which decimated the population. In Canada, where land is given to every mother of twelve or more children, in one year 1,742 wo men qualified for this bounty, while one family with 36 children received a substantial bonus for its donation to the population. There have been many cases of quintuplets born in France, Si lesia, Austria, Saxony, Russia, England and Italy, while the early Greeks and Roman writers on medical topics refer numerous times to such births among their countrywomen. In Rome, there was recently a woman named Flavia Granata, who in twenty-six years present ed her spouse with 41 daughters and 21 sons. When married she was twenty-eight years of age. Mrs. Mary Austin, wife of a Washington, D. C., policeman, during her thirty years of mar ried life had 44 children all sons. In 1924, an Italian mother had sextuplets and a medical mis sionary reports the case of a Kaffir woman having six babies within three hours. Only a few years ago a pea sant's wife in Silesia had sextup lets and later gave birth to 38 other babies, only three being girls.
