SoaOlcAL SIPARATION OF 1111 &MOON TWINS
CII•110 AND Bro.—The scientille world, and immesially
that portion of it who have made the study of medicine
and surgery their profession, cannot fail to be if beset,
interested in the feet which has recently come to our
knowledge, of the determination of Chang and Bog. the
Siamese twins, to subaiit to • surgical opwation for the
purpose of dissevering the wonderful link that hi,..
long bound them together. Some forty yowl ago these
twins were introduced to the notice of the sivilised
world, baying been brought to England from Siam in
the year 1827 or 1828, by Captain Bunker, at present
living in New York, and for • aeries of years they were exhibited to the publie still the great centre, of medita-
tion. Having visited Ameriira they determined to
make this laud their home. They bought* walaable
tract of in North Carolina, manied two sisters, and
settled down in the ordinary routine of • farmer's daily
life. Each of them is now the father of nine ohildres.
The reboil for their determination at this late day to
call in the art of surgery to produce an entire physical
separation, is that having reached snob an advanced age
(59) they are fearful that one may become the subjoin
of disease. which may prove fatal to both. The inter-
esting question arises, what are the probabilities of • ottoman' operation Wits Pwlereied. It will be
remembered in pursuing these inquiries that the twins
ore held together by quite • maidai link of thoroughly
normal an perfectly vitalised integument, some 10 or
12 incites in oirennifereoes, situated near the vital
organs„ and in close proximity to the heart and lungs;
and the connexion is so intimate that each seems to he
