FOUR FINE BABIES

DUNEDIN QUADRUPLETS NOW SIX MONTHS OLD —: BRIGHT LITTLE FAMILY CHILDREN'S GOOD PROGRESS [by telegraph —OWN correspondent] DUNEDIN, W«dnenday The Johnson quadruplet:! will be six months old on Friday. They are now four fine, healthy, thriving; babieii, full of life and vigour, and vasitly different from the tiny infants v/ho were admitted to tho Karitane Hospital two days after their birth. The charge in every way is most convincing, a testimonial to the efficacy of the Truby King method of infant feeding and care. A comparison between the wjiights of the babies at their admission and at the most recent registration shows the striking progress made. Bruce has increased from 41b. l}oz. to 121b. 120z.; Kathleen, from 31b. llfoj;., to 111b. 120z.; Mary, from 31b. 10|oz. to 111b. 40z.; Vera, from 41b. to 121b. Although they are so young the four babies are beginning to. develop along individual lines. Bruce, the only boy, is tho biggest of the four and is also the most advance'! in other ways. Ho has a very equable and happy temperament. Mary and Kathleen are identical in appearance, iso much so that the matron, without looking at their distinguishing marks, is at a loss to name them. They are a vivacious pair with ready smiles. Vera, the largest of the girls, is probably the best looking, although all are good looking. She is also of a more serious nature than her brother and sisters. It does not need a lover of babies to be attracted by this bright little family which at present appears to have every prospect of a healthy and happy future.
