BABY WEIGHS 15¼ POUNDS
WORLD S RECORD CLAIMED. BORN IN ENGLAND. DOCTOR STAGGERED. Weighing lojlb at birth, a Kent baby boy is believed to be the largest in the world. The proud mother, Mrs. A. J. Iluinpliey, who is HO, lives in Bromley, and has four other children, three boys and a girl, all of whom were a little more than normal weight at birth. Both she and her new baby are said to be “doing well.” Mr. Humphrey, who is a stereotyper, declared: — “Robert Claude’s arrival was a straightforward one, but his weight staggered the doctor and nurse. Inquiries were set on foot and information given by a specialist at a wellknown maternity hospital was that the nearest approach to this record was a 151 b babv, which was stillborn.”
