Medicine: To Winter Quarters

The Dionne quintuplets last week moved into their winter quarters, a snug little private hospital which Ontario businessmen built for them 100 yd. from the bustling farmhouse where they were born four months ago (TIME, June 11 et seq.). Though it was raining pitchforks Dr. Allan Roy Dafoe would brook no delay. Fortnight ago all five had attacks of intestinal toxemia. Last week all had slight colds, caught apparently from their five older brothers and sisters. There was whooping cough, too, in the neighborhood. And their sturdy mother, who has had nothing to do with their nursing or care, seemed again pregnant.
