BIZ United Press
HOEYOKE, Mass, Sept. 22.-
Joined together since birth by a
freak of nature, Mary and Margaret
Gibbs, 14-year-old Siamese twins,
will continue to live their strange
lives as one individual
With one of the girls seriously
i'll with influenza, and the life of
the other automatically threatened,
physicians had considered the ne
cessity Of separatory operation as
last desperate hope of beating
death.
But today, Mary, who had been
most critically III, as reported much
better and Msrgaret's condition was
nearly normal. Attending physi-
clans were confident that no oper-
alton would I've required.
Both Sleep Well
Mrs. John r. Gibbs, mother of the
famous twins, announced they had
slept well through a restful night
and that she had been assured by
Drs. Z. P. Bagg, Jr., and Arthur
Kline that her children virtually
were out of danger
A trained nurse, Miss Clara
Thompson, still was at the bedside
this morning, however, and it was
said she would remain on duty until
Mary and Margaret were able to
leave their bed
Doctors said that, barring unfore-
seen developments, the twins should
be up and around within week
Mary's condition today was "very
satisfactory" it was said, and there
was no reason to believe that COM
plications would halt recovery.
Never Complain
The twins have been confined to
bed for nearly a week, but they
never have complained, according
to their mother.
"They do not feel that they are
handicapped seriously" Mrs. Gibbs
said Except that they are joined
at the hips they are absolutely nor
NAL girls, and they are able to do
almost anything other normal girls
can do.
when they are we'll they can
dance and play billiards. They are
wonderfully cheerful children, even
when sickness keeps them in bed.
