I have this day examined Millie Christine, and find that the band
of union is between 15 and 17 inches in circumference, involving
at least the bones of the sacrum and coccyx immovable, uniting the
sacral nerves and spinal cord, so as to constitute one individual, or
two girls in one nervous system. I also find both heads sprightly and
intelligent, and deem her a much greater curiosity than the Siamese
Twins.

I have this day examined the “Two-Headed Girl,” and find her to be a
very remarkable anatomical curiosity. The spines are united, having
rectum and vagina in common.
