Translation by Mason Allred:
Julia Pastrana
A Human Monstrosity
(with depiction)
It has been justifiably stated that the even the most exuberant imagination is not capable of conceiving of combinations with such enthralling force, as life and history so frequently do. The example of the human being represented here, and we might add, described with striking fidelity, shows us that nature in her wonderful moods and inclinations occasionally produces corruptions and caricatures, which exceed all monstrosity that superstition, overactive imagination, or fear of ghosts ever contrived in horrors.
For several years now all the different areas of the world have sent examples of their individual racial creations, Negroes, and Mulatoes, Kasser and Hottentots and as a curiosity of odd deformity the Aztecs have provoked a lively interest from scientists and laymen with their grotesque ugliness. The increasing ease of transportation, which now combs through every previously hidden corner for all manner of remarkable things, in order to stimulate and exploit the ever more sophisticated public curiosity has had the positive effect of benefiting our perspective of living organisms as well as scientific research by presenting material, which would be otherwise difficult to access.
In this respect, the appearance of the female creature, named Julia Pastrana, completely deserves the interest, which it has provoked everywhere. If, in fact, the speculative industrialization goes so far as to avail itself by producing a detestable deformed baby of the aesthetic scale of the theater stage, and if there are writers, who commit pen to paper for their living, who would put such a monstrosity into a story, then a protest against such cynical conduct would be just as justified as it would be beneficial. It would have been nice, if the police would have considered these matters for which they were induced to forbid her, after the second performance, from further appearances as a monster in the theater play written for her, “der curierte Meyer”. Now the “miss”, as she is called by her American escort, doesn’t appear on stage of the Kroll Opera House anymore, but rather in a special hall in the same building, without the apparatus of the theatrical mystique and without the apparently to her very satisfactory pleasure of applause and curtain calls.
In absence of the opportunity for a personal encounter, may it please the reader to accompany the reporter on a visit, which the artist of the Mexican Miss joined in on. The permission was willingly given by the manager of the lady and soon we were standing across from the sight, in the room which the Miss and her guardian share. Although we both have never missed an opportunity to see any such remarkable things at any time they were presented to our view, we must admit that the monstrosity and oddity of the creature in front of us far exceeded all extraordinary organic creations we had ever seen.
[torn page in image] ??????... image both in character of the expression and in the details perfectly represents a life-like?? Her skull is covered with a fullness of fine shiny black hair, which Miss Julia loves to artistically style and braid, after the manner of civilized women. For special occasions the braids are adorned with pearls, flower garlands, and other accessories. Her forehead is uncommonly narrow and obtuse, barely two fingers wide and covered with movable cushions of fat of considerable strength. Her whole face is, like her whole body, covered in black hair, thicker in some parts than others. This strange hair growth begins with fine small hairs on her forehead and thickens in the area of the eyebrows into two massive bristly bunches; her eyelashes are just as remarkably thick, which make her dark black eyes appear all the more expressive. The facial angle matches more the normal Caucasian one, than any other race. Her nose is bulging, strong, with a wide bridge and enlarged nostrils [this is the zoological term not the normal anatomical word for humans], with great flexibility, from the look of it apparently without nose bone or cartilage. The place where the edges of the nose and alar wing of the nose meet the face is marked by thick bunches of hair. The cheekbones protrude moderately but sink quite bluntly against the lower areas of the face. The most remarkable is shape of the mouth, which is enclosed with two bulging lips, behind which the blood red gums of the mouth push forward in a great bow, where they are usually visible. The position of the teeth is just as irregular, as their shape. The teeth of the lower jaw are complete, whereby only the back teeth have completely developed in the upper jaw. Her tongue is a lumpy mass of muscle and of great breadth. Her chin is uncommonly short, her ears uncommonly large. Her hair, with which her tan face is covered, thickens on the cheeks to make side burns and on the chin to make a thick goatee. Her mustache is thinner. But her ears are totally hairy, long clumps of hair hang from her lobes especially. Her neck, chest, arms and partially the back of her hands appear to be covered in hair. The expression of her face in no way signals intelligence. Her eyes have a gloomy look, which provokes pity.
“Miss Julia” was busy preparing her toilette when we arrived. She did not seem adversely affected by our intrusion and welcomed us with a friendly handshake. When she heard that my colleague intended to conjure her lovely features onto paper with his pen, she seemed very pleased and directed her attention primarily to this. The conversation was held in English and it cannot be denied that she conducted herself with confidence and clarity in all the topics that came up. Of course, we didn’t exactly discuss Kosmos [this is a scientific multi-volume work by Alexander von Humboldt]. With satisfaction she mentioned the triumphs she had yielded on her trips through America and England. Indeed, she claimed to have received more than twenty proposal for marriage. In answer to my question as to why she had not granted one of the suitors her hand, she replied, “none of them were rich enough.” I then became quite suspicious of her guardian, who had […] convinced this poor creature of this nonsense. [however?] it is not impossible that some…are not disinclined to a marriage [page 658 ends] from which the monstrosity of his wife would insure a good monetary return.
Aside from English Miss Julia is supposedly proficient in Spanish; she sings a bit, dances the “Highland fling” with great skill and is versed in household and woman’s work. Should she meanwhile want write her memoires she would currently need to dictate it, regarding this cultural blessing she is still in the beginning stages.
One of her managers [Fuehrer] passes out published English brochures about her origins with great effort [sweatiness]. The manager of the Mexican lady reports, Julia Pastrana, who is supposedly now 23 years old was found as a little child in the caves of the Sierra Madre in an area far from all human residences, but full of all kinds of beasts, monkey, bears, and richly blessed. Otherwise he gives no precise authenticating information about her earlier circumstances.
As extraordinary as the phenomenon described here is, it can be sufficiently explained through similar incidents of organic degenerations and deformities and requires no new hypotheses, which themselves would be untenable, to build a new theory for improved exploitation of the public curiosity. The areas that are particularly rich in monstrosities are where racial crossbreeding in any case leads to striking organic forms of all kinds.

BAB(DOli TháNDY,
MISS JULIA PASTRANA,
- - - --
THERE are two remarkable exhibitions at the present time
in London, whose objects are of a conformation so wonderful
that they may well startle all who go to see them. As only a
small proportion of the vast population of this great metro
polis, and the country around have been to view those extra
ordinary natural curiosities, but who should as early as
possible pay them a visit, we, to induce them to do so, will
lay before them all the interesting facts concerning their
history, habits, and physiological nature that we possess. In
due order, therefore, we will first call our reader's attention to
the annexed advertisement in the newspapers of the day:
HE NONDESCRIPT, MISS JULIA PASTRANA.—This young
lady, the wonder of the world, supposed by eminent naturalists and
Physicians to be a hybrid, wherein the nature of woman predominates
over the Ourang-Outangs is very singular; her Nose, Forehead, and
entire Face, Shoulders, Arms, &c., are covered with Thick Black Hair.
She has no Pupil apparent in the Eye, no Cartilage in the Nose, with
double gums in the apper and lower jaw, and only One Row of Front
Teeth. The Lower Jaw is much extended, and the angle of the face is
very singular. Miss Julia Speaks and Sings in English and Spanish,
and dances the Highland Fling, Schottish, &c., &c., and has decidedly the
prettiest little Hands, Feet, and Ankles, in London. Levees, from
Eleven to One, Three to Five, and Eight to Ten Daily, at the Regent
Gallery, 69, Quadrant. Admission, Is. and 2s., Stalls, 3s. Miss Julia
is pleased when the Ladies and Gentlemen ask her Questions, and ex
amine her pretty Whiskers, of which she is very proud.
Being earnest enquirers after truth, ever prone to investi
gate the phenomena of nature, animal, vegetable, or physical,
and consequently among the first to be attracted by such an
�5
-
implements of trade, donned our best attire, shut up shop, and
hurried off as fast as the “marrow-bone stage’ could carry us,
the very first evening after we perused it; and when arrived
at the Regent Gallery, with great difficulty, amidst anxious
crowds of sight-seers, elbowed our way in, to take a peep at
the Extraordinary Lady just imported from the regions of
wonder.
Language fails us, when we attempt to depict the mingled
sensations that filled our minds, at even a first sight of Miss
Julia Pastrana. A closer inspection struck us with awe; a
lengthened interview created astonishment unbounded; and a
ºninute examination, compared with the printed history of her
in our hands, which we purchased there, including an intense
attention to her various entertaining performances (referred to
in the above advertisement), so inspired us with amazement
and delight, that, “Strangely formed Being /"—“Singular
!ooking Creature.”—“Wonderful Curiosity of Nature / " and
other ejaculations manifesting the excitement we were under,
involuntarily escaped from our lips, and which were no sooner
overheard by the spectators nearest to us, but they were
caught up and responded to in a similar strain by every lady
and gentleman present; so extraordinary and fearfully won
derfully they deemed the “Nondescript,” that their eyes
feasted upon. (She has since left London for the Provinces).
That the bulk of our readers should hasten to see this
“world's wonder,” before she leaves these islands, we intro
duce the following extracts from the history mentioned, which
we doubt not will remove any lukewarmness or hesitation in
respect to Julia Pastrana they may now possess:–
“Before proceeding to give an account of the origin, nati
vity, and peculiar characteristics of JULIA PASTRANA, the
* Nondescript, it will be proper to make some general allusion
to a race or races of savages, known by the eommon term of
the Root Digger Indians of Mexico.”
There are tribes called Shoshonees or Snakes, and Utahs.
Some are dark like Africans, others have a copper-coloured or
bright yellow complexion, like that of Mulattos.
“These
Indians have aquiline noses, long hair on their heads, well
shaped feet, and speak different languages, although they
'subsist on the same kind of food. They are scattered over a
wide extent of country, from Oregon to the Gulf of California,
and throughout the territories of Utah and New Mexico.
Near the Gulph of California, a tribe of these Indians is found
who live in caves, in a naked state, and subsist on grass, roots,
-
�6
great many tamed animals, such as bears, monkeys, squirrels,
&c., between which, and themselves, they.know no difference.
Their stature is from three to four feet, and they weigh from
eighty to ninety pounds. They have intellect, and are endowed
with speech. It seems as if Providence has created and pro
vided for them in the state in which they now live. This
mountain country is very fertile, full of springs, while grass
and vegetation grows in abundance throughout the whole of
the year. They get their food daily, and never lay up any
thing. They have no cause to labor, as they neither cook or
wear any clothing.
The term “Digger” is applied to all of these Indians,
wherever located, in consequence of the method of procuring
their food, which consists principally of grass-hoppers, snails
and wasps. They are very fond of a certain little animal
which the Bible tells us greatly afflicted the Egyptians in the
days of Pharaoh. The California grass-hoppers, however,
mainly compose their mess. These insects are caught by
digging a hole in the ground, then making a wide circle round
it, and driving them into it, and capturing them. After baking
the grass-hoppers in the fire, or drying them in the sun, they
crush service berries into a jam, and pulverizing the insects,
mix both together, when the pulpy mass is fit to be eaten.
Sometimes they mix their cricket-meal with parched sun
flower seed, but this kind of food is a luxury indulged in only
by a few. They burn off the grass, and then grub in the earth
for the nests of wasps. Acorns are also a favourite article of
diet. The Carpenter bird of California is in the habit of
making holes in the redwood trees, and filling them with
acorns. When a Digger finds a tree stocked in this manner,
he kindles a fire at its root, and watches it till it falls, when
he helps himself to the acorns. They usually pound these
nuts into a meal, and, mixing this with wild fruit, form a sort
of bread. They also make a kind of bread from grass seeds.
The male digger never hunts, but usually depends on the
exertions of his squaw to provide something to appease the
cravings of hunger.
Travellers say that of all the Aborigines known within the
limits of the Western Continent, the Digger Indians are
certainly the most filthy and abominable. They come into
the world and go from it with as little purpose as other
Carnivorous animals.
º
It is said that Captain Sutter, the first settler on
Sacramento River, employed these Indians to build his fort,
He
paid them in a tin coin of his own invention, upon which
�7
he stamped the number of days the holder had worked.
These stamped pieces of tin were taken at his store for articles
of dry goods, &c. He fed his field Indians upon the offals of
slaughtered animals and bran sifted from ground wheat.
The latter was boiled in large iron kettles, and then placed in
wooden troughs, from which they scooped it with their hands
and ate with great relish.
ORIGIN AND PARENTAGE OF
JULIA PASTRANA, THE NoNDESCRIPT.
The origin and pedigree of this wonderful creature is
involved in obscurity. If of any of the tribes of Digger
Indians, she has many characteristics essentially different
from those people. They have no hair on any part of them,
except their heads; their stature is from three to four feet;
...hey weigh only from eighty to ninety pounds, and have dis
positions very spiteful and hard to govern. The case is quite
he reverse with JULIA PASTRANA.
She is now four feet six
inches high, and weighs one hundred and twelve pounds. She
as thick black hair all over her person, except her bosom,
ands and feet. Her mouth is elongated, with verythick lips.
he has double gums in front, both in the upper and lower jaw
—with only one row of front teeth, and those teeth in the back
um of the lower jaw. She is good natured, sociable and ac
commodating—can speak the English and Spanish Languages
—dance, sing, sew, cook, wash and iron—these latter accom
plishments being acquired, of course, since her introduction
to civilized life, having been recovered from a state of nature
when she was very young. She is now supposed to be twenty
three years of age.
The statement that is generally credited concerning her is
as follows :
In 1830, several Digger women went up from Copala, to a
small pond on the side of the mountain, in order to bathe,
ccording to the usual custom of the country. On returning
one. they soon after missed one of their companions. All
ideavours to find her proved fruitless, and it was believed
at she was drowned, until six years afterwards a Ranchero
he was hunting for his cattle in the mountains, heard a
tice in a cave, which he took to be a Mexican woman.
He
went down to Copala and got a company of men, who went up,
arounded the cave, and by great stratagem succeeded in re
overing the lost woman. She stated that she lost her way,
and had wandered to the top of the mountain, when she
fell
�8.
... .ne hands of a ri ral tribe of Digger Indians, who kept
her closely confined in a cave for the whole time from her
capture to her recovery by the Mexican Ranchero. The place,
however, where she was found, was some hundreds of miles
from any human beings, whether Digger Indians or others.
and in a region of country abounding in monkeys, baboons, azid
bears. She was at the time giving nourishment to this child,
about two years old, from the maternal fount. The woman
professed to love this child dearly, though she disclaimed being
its parent. The child was christened Julia Pastraua, and its
supposed mother being deceased, she was allowed to remain in
the family of Pedro Sanchez, Governor of the State of Sinaloa,
in a domestic capacity. She remained in his family until
April, 1854, when she was brought to the United States for
exhibition, and has since appeared in all the principal cities
and towns, exciting the greatest curiosity, especially among
the medical faculty and Naturalists.”
Certificates were given from three of the most eminent of
the faculty in America, as follows:–

“The looks, anatomical conformation, abnormal growth of hair upo.
the person, sufficiently show that Julia Pastrana belongs to some of th
Indian Tribes, supposed to be of Asiatic origin. She is a perfect wo
man, performing all the functions of the sex. Her hair is very opaqu
but cylindrical in sections, showing there is no admixture of Negro blood
In her disposition and appearance she is certainly human.

“SIR:–In compliance with your request, I will state that I examined
the hair of the specimen of the Genus Homo which you have in change,
and compared it with the hair of the African, under a high magnifying
power, and from this comparison, have no hesitation in saying that the
individual in question possesses, by this test, No TRAce of NEGRO BLoop.

Her other peculiarities, the hair upon the body, its length and structure,
the form of the mouth and nose, the size of her limbs, peculiarities of

THE INTELLECTUAL AND SocIAL TRAITs of MISS JULIA:—
Anecdotes, &c.
Miss Julia Pastrama is now twenty-three years of age, but
the calibre of her mind is by no means so well developed as
that of most persons. Her face, covered with jet black hair
—her elongated mouth—her double, very thick, coral-like
gums—her skull, covered to the depth of half-an-inch with a
fleshy substance, on which grows a cumbrous mass of long
glossy jet-black silken straight hair, all go to demonstrate
that she is really the most extraordinary being that has ever
existed on the face of the earth.
The health of Julia Pas
trana is perfectly good. She seems to be able to endure
much, in a physiological point of view.
She has never been
sick while travelling; delights to travel, and is inclined to be
discontented when idle. Her ideas of making money are
limited, but they are brightening, and there are hopes that
she will acquire in time the money-getting faculty, equal to
that of the rest of the family of man.
It will not be out of place at the present time, to mention
a few of the many things that occur to persons situated like"
Miss Pastrana.
While on an expedition to Carrol Hall, in Baltimore, she
was invited to a ball given by a Military organisation of that
city—for a copy of whose Card of Invitation, with the sig
natures of the Executive Committee, see p. 19 of the more
copious 6d, edition, from which we quote, to be had at the
Exhibition.
“At first Miss Julia seemed indisposed to accept the proſ
fered civility, on account either of diffidence, or because she
imagined that the ladies and gentlemen who would be in at
tendance would make of her an object for their merriment.
These objections being overcome, she finally consented to
attend the festival. She accordingly dressed herself in a
most magnificent manner for the occasion.
Her attire, or
costume, consisted of a biue dress, trimmed with silver lace,
white kid gloves, black satin slippers, bracelets, watch, and
a splendid set of Jewellery, including a diamond ring, which
had just been made a present to her.
�10
Although somewhat timid or bashful on entering the ball
room, she soon recovered her self-possession, and passed the
evening as graceful as if she had been accustomed to scenes
of fashion and gaiety all her life—making herself agreeable
to all the joyous company. Indeed, had her face been screened
from observation, no one would have discovered anything
extraordinary in her behaviour or general appearance, save
that her handsome dress alone, might naturally have ren
dered her the “cynosure of all eyes,” particularly among the
lovely belles of the Monumental city.
“On her introduction to the ball-room, in company with
her guardian, she was welcomed by the band of musicians
playing Hail Columbia, followed by a grand march, in which
the goodly company promenaded around the hall, with Miss
Julia at the head of the procession. After the march, each
lady and gentleman present was introduced to her, shook
hands with her and took their seats.
When the second co
tillion was announced, Julia was invited by several gentle
men to become their partner in the merry dance, all of which
attentions she positively declined, inasmuch as it was the first
time she had ever attended a ball, and because of her lack of
knowledge of the “five positions” of the salstatic divertise
ment.
Soon, however, the band struck up a waltz, whereupon
she accepted an invitation from one of the military gentlemen
and waltzed around the room a number of times with him,
having previously learned the waltz by some watural intuition,
or instruction, of which her guardian had no previous
information.
Her next beau was a very genteel young man in citizen's
ress. Quite an incident heightened the zest of this dance.
The handsome gallant ran up to Miss Julia with eonsiderable
eagerness, to secure her for a partner in a Schottish dance.
When the couples however, had taken their places on the
ioor, the young gentleman, either from fright or some other
ndefined emotion, was observed to change colour several
mes, and to exhibit a degree of embarrassment strangely at
ariance with his character. He quickly rallied his feelings
however, and having acquitted himself in a creditable manner
through the evolutions of the “light fantastic toe,” led his
partner in a graceful and courteous manner to her seat.
In
this way the festival passed off piquantly and delightfully to
all present—Miss Julia included, who afterwards expressed
the pleasure felt on the enchanting occasion.
�11
During her exhibition at Bellair, a small town in the
interior of Maryland, it happened that the County Court met
for its usual session. Judge Price presided, having just been
elected and inducted into the office. The Judge was invited
by Julia's guardian, to pay her a visit. He did so, and after
examining her sufficiently, he remarked that she was too
great a curiosity to see without paying for it. He promptly
tendered a piece of money and retired. The reason and cir
cumstances of the Judge's liberality being explained to Julia,
she instantly replied that he was a “good Judge and an
honest man,” and that she would be willing to have him
preside even were she on trial for Murder / The reason of
her speaking of murder arose from the fact, that a man was
on trial at that time for that hideous crime, having killed a
fellow creature by shooting him. This incident would show
that Julia had a mind capable of reflection, and that she has
proper notions of human accountability, as well as a sense of
the true distinction between right and wrong.
Miss Pastrana's ideas of a city or town, after seeing it, as
a general rule, are tolerably correct. In most cases, she
expresses herself quite sagaciously in relation to the proba
bility of doing a good business in her line of profession.
Her memory is very retentive, and she never forgets the
countenance of any one she has ever seen, and will readily
name the place or occasion when she first saw the individual.
She often meets persons that she has seen months previous,
and will at once inform them of the fact, and detail all the
circumstances of the case quite succinctly and clearly.
She learns everything with about the same readiness of a
child of eight years of age, and retains knowledge in a
similar degree. Her disposition is kindly and affable, and
she endeavours to please everybody. She is aware that she is
on exhibition, and understands that all who visit her expect
to be satisfied that there is no attempt at imposition made
upon their curiosity or credulity. She unhesitatingly submits
to every examination or inquisition conducted in a proper
manner, as if willing to advance the cause of science or to
gratify the laudable curiosity of all who attend at her public
levees. She is always cheerful and appears perfectly con
tented with her position in life, and seemingly is philosophi
cally resigned to every contingency of destiny, of whatever
character in the sublunary state of her existence.” Hoping
the enquiring reader will hasten to see Miss Pastrana for
himself, and willing to indorse as a further recommendation
�12
the concluding remarks of the gentleman who has the exhi
biting of her, because, fully agreeing with their truthfulness,
we in this place insert them —
“In conclusion, the guardian of Julia Pastrana would re
mark, that there is nothing in her appearance in the least
calculated to offend the sensibilities of the most fastidious,
whether viewed, socially, morally, or physically. A feeling
of pity, rather than of repugnance or antipathy, is generally
experienced in the bosom of all who pay her a visit. There
is sufficient of the characteristics of her womanly nature to
dispel anything allied to the revolting or disagreeable, and
connected either with her personal appearance, or the man
ner in which her levees are conducted.
Persons who visit
her with an idea of seeing a wild beast in the cage of a mena
gerie will be disappointed. Those who go with the expecta
tion of seeing some frightful monster will have such expecta
tions changed to sentiments allied at once to awe and
astonishment at the mysterious ways of Providence, while
his philosophy will be puzzled amazingly to account for his
share of the milk of human kindness, and the abundant
juiciness of his own heart in view of the wonderful pheno
menon that will irresistibly for the time being engross his
attention.
-
In any point of view Miss Julia is a curiosity of remark
able interest, and must be seen to be fully appreciated. She
is worthy of a special visit, if it be but to realize something
of the profound riddle in which the origin of the Aborigines
of America is involved. The Indians were found on the
Hesperian Continent in countless myriads, at the time of its
discovery by Christopher Columbus, while the manner in
which they were treated by Cortez, in his “Conquest of
Mexico,” has been the theme of the romancer and historian
for centuries. Yet neither revelation nor science have as yet
offered the key for the solution of the perplexing problem
whether the “Red Skins of America are of Asiatic origin, or
whether they have not always been indigenous or native to the
land of the Incas and Aztecs | Surmises abound, from the
most absurd to those of some plausibility. The Indians have
been, at will, transferred into exiled Jews or banished
Chinese, while their language has been called Syriac, Welsh
and Celtic—still their origin remains unknown.
Go and see Julia Pastrana, the “Nondescript,” and learn
wisdom, subdued by becoming humility. Go and endeavour
to realize where man's bestial attributes terminate and where

OR,
TOUR LE-BODIED 50Y.
From the Regent Quadrant, we wended our way to the
Museum of Dr. Kahn, whose scientific, natural and physiolo
gical wonders we had before witnessed, to view on E THAT
FAR surpasses THEM ALI, spoken of in the following ad
vertisement :—
HE
HETERADELPH, or DUPLEX
BOY, now introduced to
the Public, at Dr. KAHN'S MUSEUM, is the most extraordinary
matural phenomenon ever witnessed. It is the first instance on record of
a Human Heteradelph seen alive; rendered all the more remarkable
from being a beautiful child, well developed, perfectly healthy, and born
of English parents. The Public (Gentlemen only) will be admitted to
view this marvellous (two in one) being on and after MONDAY NEXT,
at 4, Coventry Street, Leicester Square, at Twelve, Two, and Four, at
which hours Dr. Kahn will Deliver a Lecture, explanatory of the theory
of these mysterious organizations.
-
Admission two shillings and sixpence.
In the evening the Museum is open as usual, when the dinission,
after five o’clock, is one shilling.

Dr. Kahn's Lecture on the Heteradelph, with Engraving, 6d.
We found on our arrival the museum crowded with an
anxious assembly of gentlemen comprising the ranº, fashioſ,
and intelligence of these kingdoms, each gazing with wonder
at the Double-Bopied Boy, and all attentively listening to the
talented lecture of the worthy Doctor, whose great fame was
already “world-wide “ long before he introduced this latest
addition to the curiosities of nature.
-
So extraordinary is this live Two-IN-ONE, and so exceed
ingly rich and farfetched are the learned physiological specu
lations that compose the private lecture delivered to Gentle
men only, that we are precluded in these pages from quoting
as much as we would wish, but must content ourselves in
recommending our male readers, single and married, of ma
ture age, and, indeed, not excepting females, if they are
mothers, to purchase the more perfect copy, published at 6d.
by Gilbert, Paternoster Row, or to be had at the Museum
itself at the time of paying a visit to its very many astound
ing and truly instructive objects, which must have required
�14
by ordinary men, to form and collect together. Sufficient,
however, combined with its portrait on the title-page, we will
extract, to give the enquiring and curious reader a description
of so remarkable a human Heteradelph, that, in the language
of the advertisement, “it is the first instance on record,” and,
withal, for a Double-Boy, a beautiful child.
Dr. Kahn thus opens the descriptive portion of his Lecture:–
“GENTLEMEN — My object in this Lecture is to draw
your attention to one of the most extraordinary phenomena
which nature has, in modern times, made us acquainted with.
A few years ago we should have spoken of it as a freak of
Nature, and called it, in scientific language, a lusus natura ;
but modern science has shewn us, that phenomena are pre
sented to our notice in the varied and ever-changing panorama
of organic life, and are as much the result of a fixed and
immutable law, as the revolving of a planet, the appearance
of an eclipse, or the reverberations of a thunder-peal. True,
these curiosities may only now and then turn up—to use a
homely phrase—just as a eomet may appear but once in a
dozen centuries; but they are still no less the result of law.
To the superficial thinker, and the man who never thinks at
all, this may appear strange; and ever and anon the question
will be propounded,—-How can it happen that a phenomenon
appearing but once in a hundred years can be the result of a
law which is continually in operation ? To explain this,
then, will be my business in this discourse.
I shall bring before you a child—or rather two children
blended most mysteriously together—presenting an appearance
which has rarely been witnessed. The one child is perfect in
all its parts—well developed, admirable in its proportions,
of the male sex, and in perfect health, Attached to it, how
ever, at the chest, is another child, also male, united most
curiously and most mysteriously with its fellow, the lower
part of its body perfect in every respect, the arms in a rudi
mentary condition, and the head entirely absent, one head
and neck serving for both. There are, as you will observe,
two bodies placed exactly opposite to one another, connected
at the 'sterna, and the viscera of the trunk apparently per
fectly distinct. This extraordinary monstrosity was born in
this country on the 4th of June 1855. The parents are per
fectly healthy, nothing unusual being observed in either.
This is their ninth child, all the rest being quite normal. I
must beg to be excused mentioning names, the parents
:-a-i---------1----1-1;
�--
15
The term used by scientific men to describe twins thus united, is
Synadelphia, and a classification of them has been attempted by dividing
them into three distinct genera:
I. Omeadelphia.-In this case, the two individuals are composed of
parts perfectly similar to each other.
II. Heteradelphia –A union of two dissimilar individuals.
III. Enadelphia.
One infant enclosed within another.
Several cases are on record, in medical and scientific journals, illus
trating each of these three peculiarities, though very rarely indeed has
life been preserved. The case before us is, therefore, the more remark
able, as the child is in perfect health. The variety to be met with in the
first of these divisions is very great. One of the best illustrations
which we have seen in modern times is that of the well-known Siamese
Twins, exhibited in London in 1829. Here were two individuals, at that
time aged 18 years, both nearly of the same stature, the intelligence of
each different, having perfectly separate identities, and yet united by a
cartilaginous band externally, and by some more delicate material in
ternally, side by side—sleeping and waking together—and performing
most of the functions of life at the same time.
Other cases have occurred of a similar kind.
Buffon and Adelon re.
cord examples. Two Hungarian sisters, named Judith and Ellen, united
in a similar manner, reached the adult age; and two females, Ritta
Christina, were exhibited in Paris, in 1829; Hailer
* relates cases.
What is very singular, in all these cases is, that the sexual organs,
though well developed, are single. Union of twins, the point of junction
being in other parts of the body, have been frequently observed: for
example, they may be united by the back of the head, by the forehead,
by the face, breast, abdomen, back, in fact, at almost every part of the
external surface of the body.
The second of the divisions, mamely, that which I described under the
name Heteradelphia, is a most interesting one, and it is to that which the
child under consideration belongs. The name we owe to Geoffrey St.
Hiliare, and it has reference to that peculiar kind of monstrosity in which
one infant is fully developed and perfect, and another, or part of another,
is found adhering to it, somewhat after the manner of a parasite. Indi
viduals of this character very rarely indeed are born alive, or if so, gene.
rally die very shortly after birth. The reason of this, is, probably, that
the partially-developed child is so formed that it cannot survive, and its
death is speedily followed by the demise of its more perfect companion.
In the case before us, however, there is no reason why the adult state
should not be reached. It differs from most others of the kind, in tº
-
º
i
�16
fact, that the appended infant is perfectly developed, with the exception
of the upper Éxtremities, and is much larger than usual. In most cases,
that which is termed the parasite is exceedingly small and ill-propor
tioned, being, in fact, nothing more than a rudimentary appendage to the
perfect child. Much more frequently the parasite, even when it possesses
all the parts of the perfect child as far as their number is concerned, will
be malformed in different parts of its body, having hare-lip, or some other
consequence of arrest of, development.
Very often, too, both bodies are
in a rudimentary condition. The most remarkable case on record, of a
perfect Heteradelph, is that of a Chinese, named A-kin, of whom you will
observe a model in my collection. This is always referred to as the
most remarkable instance of this peculiarity that has occurred, and a
long description of it will be found in every work on the subject.
But
even it is far eclipsed by the case before us, as there the parasite was
exceedingly small : in fact, when A-kin was a full-grown man, the ap
penied body was simply that of an infant. The nutrition of the second
body appears to depend entirely on the first, and through which it receives
its hourishment, and discharges its excretions.
Monstrosities belonging to the third division are also exceedingly
curious (Enadelphs). In these we have that very singular, phenomenon,
which for so many centuries puzzled and perplexed men of science,
termed Foetus in Faetu, that is, one foetus contained within another. Al
though the case before us cannot be considered as belonging to this elass,
yet it is intimately connected with it, as I shall hereafter have occasion to
shew.”
•
*.
-
The learned Doctor then proceeds to shew most instructively the form
and hidden source of the animalculae within us from which life springs' which
we cannot publish, but recommend our male readers to go and hear, to
make them wiser men, appreciating, in reference to the discovery of those
*
little creatures, his concluding sentiment:
* The majesty of God appears no less in small things than in great;
and as it exceedeth human sense in the immensity of the universe, so also
doth it in the smallness of the parts thereof." -
THE END.
