only reference he makes to the aspersions
on himself is to say:

trust they had committed TO my hands, |
should shrink from no responsibility
which that trust imposed, and allow no

Surgical Separation Of the Sia,mese
Twins, Chang and Eng.

| The scientific world, and especially
that portion of 1t who have made the
study of medicine and surgery their pro-
/ fession. cannot fail to be intensely inter
ested in the fact, which has recently come
TO the Tribune's knowledge, of the deter
mination of Chang and Eng, the SiameSe
TWINS, to submit to a surgical operation
for the purpose of discovering the wonder
full link that has so long bound them to-
gether. Some forty years ago, says the
I Tribune, these twins were introduced to
( the notice of the civilized world, having
been brought TO England from Siam in
the year 1927 or 1928, by Capt Bunker at
present living in New York, and for a
series of years they were exhibited to the
public at all the great centers of civiliza-
ton. Having visited America, they de-
/ termined to make this land their home
North Carolina, married two sisters, and
settled down in the ordinary routine of a
farmers daily life. Each of them is now
the father of nine children. The reason
for their determination, at this late day,
to call in the art of surgery to produce an
entire physical separation, is that having
reached such an advanced age so years
they are fearful that one may become the
subject of disease, which may prove fatal
to both. The interesting question arises,
What are the probabilities of successful
operation being performed 1t will be
remembered in pursuing these enquiries
that the twins are held togethsr by
quite massive link of thoroughly normal
and perfectly vitalized intcgument, some
ten to twelve inches in circumference,
situated near the vital organs, and in
close proximity to the heart and lungs !;
and the connection is so intimate that
each seems to be thoroughly an organized
portion of the other, as much so as any of
the ordinary members Of a naturally con-
stituted human body. Sensation, nervous
impression, mental phenomena, morbid,
physical, and nervo mental conditions, all
show most perfect physical unity in this
wonderful dual physical existence. The
question in regard to the result of an
operation is no new one, but soon after
their first appearance in London and
Paris it excited the minds of the
foremost intellects in the surgical
world. If we remember rightly
the "Twins' were exhibited before the
Academy Of Physicians and Surgeons in
Paris at that time for the purpose Of as
certaining their opinion in regard to the
probabilities of successful opera
ton. The disagreement in regard
thereto we believe led to the abandonment
Of tho project Has the science of sur
gerry so rapidly advanced that to-day sue
cessful results can be promised when there
was so much doubt score or two Of years
ago? We understand they contemplate
visiting Paris for the purpose Of having
the operation performed.
