Siamese Twins

Siamese Twins (1811-1874) was the popular name of the twins born in Siam, of Chinese parents, whose bodies were united by a fleshy band extended between corresponding breast-bones. They were purchased from their mother and exhibited in Europe and America, realised a competency by their exhibitions, married and settled in the States. Having lost by the Civil War, they came over to London and exhibited, where they died, one 2½ hours after the other.
