WOMAN AND CHILDREN
EACH HAVE 2 HEARTS;
SCIENTISTS AMAZED

EASTON. PA, Jan. 17.-Medical au-
thorities are amazed today over the
discovery by DR.. James Morgenstein
that Mrs. Berton Perkins and her three
children. Anna, Allen and Doris, aged
thirteen, eleven and four respectively,
each have two hearts.
This is regarded as the most Won
derful phenomenon In medical history
and specialists are coming here to join
the county medical association in a
further examination Of the family so
soon as they are liberated, from a
chicken poX quarantine.
DIT. Morgenstein, who was examining
the chest of one of the children afflict-
ed with chicken poX. was startled when
he located another heart on the child's
left side. He then examined the other
children and finally the mother, each
showing a heart on either side of the
breast.
TO outward appearances the Perkins
are like other humans, and the children
are all healthy and strong and mix in
with their playmates in their games.
