The distinction of having facilitated the coming into this world of 4,624 babies is held in Hungary by Mrs. Wilhelm Gold, a Jewish midwife.
Mrs. Gold yesterday celebrated her eightieth birthday and fiftieth anniversary in her profession. The occasion was used by the population of the town in which Mrs. Gold resides to express recognition of her service. The entire town attended the fete arranged in her honor and the Bishop sent his state coach to bring the aged midwife to the hall. The municipality presented her with a handsome sum of money.
