Kind of like the Incubator Babies at Coney Island.![]() This picture was taken in 1905. Dr. Martin Couney was a pretty amazing fellow.
Source There's lots more info on the web about the incubator babies, for example PBS Video of incubators on the midway at the worlds Fair in 1940. In the early 1940's hospitals started treating premature babies with incubators and Dr. Couney ceased using infants on the midway saying "My work is done." |
