The physicians said the women re-
acted differently to the same medi-
cine although their illness recently
has been of the same nature.
Medical records recalled by physi-
clans who have been interested in the
case disclose a number of so-called
Siamese twins. The original Siamese
twins, Chang and Eng, lived to the
age of Ga. They married sisters and
Chang had six children and Eng five,
all of them normal. Eng died first
and surgeon separated them. Chang
died soon after.
Twins that have attracted world
wide fame include the Hindu sisters,
who were Joined face to face, the con-
nection being at the chest, the New

Hindu twins; the Orissa sisters, Rad

DEATH CLAIMS SIAMESE TWINS.
End Comes for Both at Nearly the
Same Time.

Chicago, March 30.-Josefa and
Rosa Black, the "Siamese twins"
died at hospital early this morning.
Josefa'S death occurred first and was
followed in few seconds by the
death of her sister. Physicians had
declared early in the night that in
the event of the death of one of the
sisters the other would die quickly
as their brother, Frank Black, had
refused an operation which would
sever their bodies.
The twins had been in the hospital
ten days. Josefa was ill with yellow
jaundice and that was followed by
pneumonia. Shortly before her death
Rosa was afflicted with bronchitis.
Preparations had been made for the
separation operation and physicians
were ready to make every effort to
save the life of at least one of the
women.
Hope of saving the life of Josefa
was abandoned at midnight, according
to DR.. B. H. Breakstone, chief of the
surgical staff at the hospital.
81 tried to get the consent Of the
brother to operate to save the life of
Rosa, but he refused to give his per-
mission" added the physician.
DR.. Breakstone explained that a
delicate operation would have been
necessary. Before their death he had
expressed the opinion that the ply
siological affinity of the twins was
so vital that if one should die the
other might also succumb before the
band of flesh and bone that joins
them could be severed.
Although the twins possessed sep
arate respiratory and cardiac sys-
TENS, DR.. Breakstone explained that
they had only one set Of secondary
digestive and provocative organs.
The operation, he said, would have
necessitated the building up of a
part of the digestive and other es-
sential organs to save the life of
one twin.
Rosa was once married, her name

As the women grew weaker the
last night physicians pleaded with the
brother to permit an operation, hos
pital attendants stated. He was the
only adult relative capable under the
Illinois law of giving his consent.
"No," the brother was quoted as hav-

for hours after Josefa's death. There
shall be no operation"

declined to assume responsibility.

brother.
