PHILADELPHIA. February 25.-The SO.
CO.. d edition Of the Medical Times says:
"On Friday, the commission continued
the autopsy upon the Siamcso Twins,
and made some important discoveries.
They found that the two livers, which
were supposed to be joined only by
blood vessels, we're really ono body, the
parenchimatos tissue being continuous
between them, so that when they were
removed from tue bodies and placed on
the table, they formed one mass. The
so.called teuct of portal continuity is,
therefore, liver tissaes. It will be re.
membered that Chang was said to be
possessed of one more pouch than ENG.
When the liver WAS removed, however,
90 TrHer henatic pouch was found aiso
proceeding from Eng; 80 thai the band
contained four pouches Of peritoneum,
besides the liver tissue. These disclo-
snres show that any attempt, during
life, to separate the twins, would, in all
probability, have proved fatal.
