FREAK OF NATURE--SIAMEsE Twins
We were yesterday invited 10 view two of
the most extraordinary productions of ma
ture, which We're exhibited. The first
were the chemically preserved bodies Of
two children, united inseparably by the
breast-bone. which extended from person
TO person, in he same way as did the con-
Meeting substance from the sides Of the
Siamese twins. A young woman in
Montgomery county, we understand, gave
birth to these beings, which, however,
| were never destined to enjoy life. Upon
a posi- mortem examination being made Of
the bodies, it was discovered that the
functions ofthe heart were equally divided
between them or in other words, that one
heart only had been affected to both bod
les. The breast bone has been extracted
and placed in the same case along with
this extraordinary preservation. Il is
worthy ofthe inspection of our physicians.
