Upon a screen flashed a lantern-slide picture of six wizened black babies, alike as shoe-buttons. Continued Dr. Schumann: "Here are sextuplets, born to a mother on the African Gold Coast, without the help of modern medicine, without any Dr. Dafoe. These babies were alive and well after eight days, I am informed in a letter from a missionary friend...
