A Nebraska Man Doubiy Supplied
with Heart, Liver, Lungs and
Stomach.
DR.. Fl. E. Hadley, of David City,
Neb., has in his posse ssion the remain
of the most remarkably formed hi
man being who ever lived. To a Gin
cinnati Enquirer reporter he said:
"Sone time ago a man named Mar
shall removed from Seward to Lin
coin, where ne had been in the grocery
business, and it was not long before
l was called to attend him. He was
alternately joyful and moody, and L
| supposed his mind to be affected, al
though he seemed to be rational
enough in business matters.
"He said that he was constantly hun
cry upon II side or the other of his
body, while it was impossible for him
eat except a certain amount. | treat
ed him for indigestion absolutely with
out success, but he appeared to be bet
ter satisfied than | was, and told me
that he never expected to be cured.
He has suffered at times ever since he
could remember, physically and NEIL
tally; eve morally he was controlled
by irresistible impulses of good and
bad, going to extremes as a devout
Christian and a d~ebaucher. He and |
became friends, and he talked to me
freely. He seemed to have a dual eX-
istence, and none of the symptoms as
laid down in the books would appear
as expected when he was i'll.
at was simply impossible to render
anything like a correct diagnosis of his
ailments. Usually he was in good
health, but when he became otherwise
there was no power in medicine, 1t
having nc apparent effect upon him.
l was baff1ed and knew he was formed
differently from other men, but how 1
could not tell. Mentally he was as
much Of an enigma as physically. He
would be talking perfectly nationally,
when a strange CLEAN would come in
his eyes, and he would beg me to lock
him up. Often he said he felt as though
there was another being within him
who was constantly striving for mas
terry of his body, and that his other self
sometimes succeeded in overpower-
ing him. l supposed him to be partly
demented and urged him not to allow
his mind to dwell upon this subject.
One day l was called to his bed
side, and to all appearances he was dy-
ing. l felt that it was too late to dc
anything for him. and within an houl
he died-at least there was every sem
blance Of ~death-but a few hours later
there We're signs of returning ANNA
ton, and the next day he was able tc
leave his bed, but complained that he
seemed to have a heavy weight bear
ing down upon him internally. He
said that mentally he felt perfectly
sane for the first time in his life, an(
the old impression that another sell
was trying to obtain mastery of hin
was gone. For weeks my friend and pf
tient was in better health than I ha(
ever known him, except that he con
stantly grew weaker, and the load h
felt as though he carried a became
heavier. His breath, too, became of
fensive, and, while his flesh retained
it's firmness, his body seemed to be pu
trid. 1t was not long before death re
lieved his sufferings, this time forever
His last request was that | Shoul'
!, hold a post mortem examination tn
:. only request of the kind 1 ever hear
: of being made. 1t was complied with
. The words. IF there is anything abnol
NAL about me, as l believe there Is
. 1 give you, as my best friend, my body
= If it Is but a hallucination of mine
y want you to attend to it's burial
, after the death of Mr.. Marshall
u held the post-mortem, as directed, an
= to my utter establishment, found tw
u hoarts, two sots of lungs, two liver
and two stomachs. One set had bee
dead for some time and was decayet
while the other would have been j
sound condition except for the deaf
of the first me-. The phenomena we
similar to that of the Siamcse twin
except that in the case 1 speak {
there was but one body and with
e it was constant conflict between tt
two human beings who occupied it."
