Baby- Culture. A Novel Plan of Raising Triplets Adopted at Glasgow.
A cable special from London says : An attempt has been made in the Maternity Hospital at Glasgow to raise babies in a queer way. Triplets 'vere born there prematurely, six and a-half months old. They were put, naked, into a wpoden bex divided into two compartments, upper and lower. They crawled around, or rather lay helpless iv the upper compartment, while hot water bottle? in the lower compartment kept the air as hot as any triplet could wish, A moist sponge prevented too much dryness and a thermometer regulated the eupuly of hot bottles. Two of the triplets have died so far ; the other, it is thought, will live, which the doctors say he could not possibly have done if he had not bsen brought up my machinery.
