The following uncommon instance of Fertility will doubtless engage the attention of the curious among the gentlemen of faculty. On the tenth of August last the mistress of the Blue Lion, in Aldersgate street, was safely delivered of a fine boy in its full time, and three days after she felt herself pregnant with another; and on the seventh of this month she was safely delivered of another fine boy in its full time, and is at this time healthy and well. A remarkable instance of superfetation, the possibility of which has hitherto been much disputed among the learned of the faculty. A similar instance happened to the same person about a year and a half ago, with this difference only, that the former was at a distance of four months.
