in sorrow—sorrow that the Advance

(From the Statistical Bulletin, of the
Metropolitan Life)
May 28, i.935, Is a notable date in
- history. Never before has there beei^
. an authenticated report .of quintup
lets all surviving to celebrate their
= .first—anniversary. The Dionne quin
tuplets are the. first to have accom
plished this feat. For-this gratifying
result we ino thank Dr. Dafoe,
. Whose'great care and skill,, 'assisted
by all the expedients of modern medi
cal science, have made, this joint sur
vival possible.
. In surviving together, to age: one,
tills group of five baby girls has sue-'
. cessfully overqome; risks- equivalent
to those that- one female Individual
meets in the , course of her first 51
jj^eara-of- life.. This staterhent^is bas-
e<l .on. the inost recent life table repT
~ "resenting ^current'American mortality
conditions, according to which the
probability of one girl baby surviving
to age one is a little over 95 per cent.
The probability of five such babies,
all surviving. t0 age one is the fifth
•‘ power of this figure, that is 78 per,
cent. . . 1'
The same life table shows that the.,
-probability of one female newborn
b.aby '.surviving to age 51 Is 78 per
cent. ’ Thus, even ff we assume-as
-favorable mortality for quintuplets a's
for the average American child, we
reach the conclusion stated .above,
that in the 'first year of their life
they have withstood the degree of
life .risk ordinarily. met with by one
female individual in the first 51 years ,
of her life, - . ■
Actually, these babies were prema
turely'. born, and this without doubt
gfeatly increased their risk of dying
in their first year. When—we consid
er in addition "the fact that multiple
births;.always represent a very seri
ous handicap, we cannot raise- too
highly the skill of the physician and
his staff whose unflagging . efforts
have preserved , these remarkable
children and brought^them to- their
present state of robust babyhood..
As the result of this achievement,
any „one of these children considered
separately has now.an expectatipn-of
life of 65 years'- W we ask how long
they may all • a^g^ group expect’--to
-live together, the answer, computed
from the life table,, is naturally, a
smaller number, -namely 39 years.
.This ds an average figure. Ac-1
tually they piay well do-better than
that, for- they; seem to be iff splendid^
health, and, as wards of? the King,
will - continue to ' receive excellent
„c,are..,_. : •_..... ,-L:
While the exp.ectatidn of life. gf
the‘ five as a group < necessarily is
less than that- of any one of them
^separately, on the other hand, the
longest lived of the five; whoever
$he may be, has a £reat, expecta
tion of. life than any random one of'
them. Her .expectation’ is -83; years. <
All these figures are based off av
erages, and actually , the children may
do better than stated:, above. One
fact which it is not possible to take
into account in the . computation is
fhat the children are of the “identic
cal kind of h.u.u.j/ivj maaviab, uxxu
therefore they probably. ,have very
closely ; similar . predispositions, such
as .would tend, barring accidents, to
make them all survive to about the
same age. ‘
This we have-'every reason* to hope,
may be an advanced age, to judge
from their present robust. health and
the special- provisions taken for
their welfare.
