certainly one, at least one below the stomach !;
this is proved by every test that can be applied.
AT the same time the chest, head, and arms are
those of two distinct persons, and below the
trunk there are four distinct and perfectly form

The brain and intellectual organization are
those of two distinct persons, but with 9 strong
