"SIAMESE" TWINS AGAIN.
BROTHERS JOINED AT BACKS, Brothers, united in much the same way as the Siamese twins, are living atthe little Serbian town of Novibazar. They belong to a Mohammedan family, and are 19-years-old, though they look more like 10. They are unable to turn their Beads, and are joined at the back. One boy always has to look up and the other down. They cannot talk properly. When walking they take it in turns, the on® to cany the other on his back, and it is interesting to see how quickly the change is made. One looks a normal boy of 10, - but the other thin and miserable. The famous Siamese twins lived till they were 63, dying in 1874 within two hours of each other.
