.tagonists OF tEose who had long been yers
ed in the game.
The conuexion between these boys might
present an opportunity for some interesting
observations in regard to physiology and
pathology. There is, no doubt, a network
of blood vessels and some minute nerves
passing from one to the other. How far
these parts are cabable Of transmitting the
action of medicines and ofdlseaSes, and es-
pecialy of what particular medicines and
what diseases, are points we'll worthy OF
investigation. Capt. Coffin informed me
they had never taken medicine since they
had been under his care. Once they were
i'll from eatingtoo heartily, but were relieved
by the efforts of nature. He thinks that
any indsposition of one extends TO the O.
ther; that they are inclined to sleep at the
same time; eat about the same quantity,
and perform other acts with great similari-
ty. Both he and Mr.. Hunter, the gentle
man who united with him IN bringing them
here, are of opinion that touching one Of
them when they are asleep will awaken
both.
The pulsations of the heart are exactly
alike in both boys. | counted seventy
three pulsations in minute, while they
were sitting; counting first in one boy and
then in the other. ! then placed my fin
gers on an arm of each boy, and found the
pulsalions take place exactly together.
/ One of them STOPPING suddenly to look ct
my watch, his pulse became much quicker
/ than that of the other; but after ne had re-
turned to his former posture, in about a
quarter ola minute, his pulse was precise
! " like that of the other boy. This happen
ed repeatedly. Their respirations are OF
consequence, exactly simultaneous.
This harmony Of action in primary func'
tons shows reciprocal influence, which
may lead to curious observations, and I'M
portant deductions. Whether 1t will be Ia
my power to obtain any further intorma-
ton in regard to them, Is uncertain. II not
some one else can better accomplish the
task.
| Let me add there is nothing unpleasant
in the aspect ofthese boys. On the con
trary, they must be viewed as presenting
one of the most interesting objects of natur'
al history, which have ever been known to
scientific men.
You are al liberty to employ the above
statement in such way as you think likely
to be useful.
