Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine

CHAPTER I
81/87

A second child was born at term, sixty-eight days after the first; and in 1782 both children were living.

A woman of Arles was delivered on November 11, 1796, of a child at term; she had connection with her husband four days after; the lochia stopped, and the milk did not flow after this intercourse.

About one and a half months after this she felt quickening again, and naturally supposed that she had become impregnated by the first intercourse after confinement; but five months after the first accouchement she was delivered of another child at term, the result of a superfetation.

Milk in abundance made its appearance, and she was amply able to nourish both children from the breasts.

Lachausse speaks of a woman of thirty who bore one child on April 30, 1748, and another on September 16th in the same year.
