mences to unite at or near the navel
and gradually blends into one perfectly
shaped head The head has but two
eyes, while there are four ears, two at
the proper place while two are near to-
gether at the back part of the head.
| There is nothing of the monstrosity
feature about this freak of nature, but
is simply two pigs with one head and
possibly one throat, dividing into two
| perfectly formed bodies, and it is the
opinion of DIR. G. w. Stewart, in whose
possession it is, preserved in alcohol,
that it was possible for it to live had it
been looked after at time of birth. 1t
can be seen at any time at this Office.
