After listing the known cases of alive quintuplets, the authors describe the recent case of the Danzig quintuplets, with special respect to the medical care given during pregnancy, labor and Puerperium. Early diagnosis and hospitalization in cases of multiple pregnancies appear to be necessary, to overcome the tendency towards premature delivery and to secure relatively higher degree of maturity.
