Postscript to Incubator-Baby Side Shows

William A. Silverman MD1

When my article about premature infant "shows" appeared in Pediatrics1 it caught the eye of Felix Marx, of Bonn, Germany. He called attention2 to an 1896 popular-magazine story3 in which the identity of the man named "Lion" was revealed (see citation 7 in reference 1).

According to the profusely illustrated piece, Doctor Alexandre Lion, of Nice, was a philanthropic physician who established "The Baby Infant Charity" (Oeuvre Maternelle des Couveuses D'Enfants, located at 26, Boulevard Poissonière, Paris) for the saving of infant life.
