He
was good-looking, well proportioned, and had two distinct
penises, each as large as that of a child of six months.
Urination proceeded simultaneously from both penises; he had also
two scrotums. Behind and between the legs there was another limb,
or rather two, united throughout their length. It was connected
to the pubis by a short stem 1/2 inch long and as large as the
little finger, consisting of separate bones and cartilages. There
was a patella in the supernumerary limb on the anal aspect, and a
joint freely movable. This compound limb had no power of motion,
but was endowed with sensibility. A journal in London, after
quoting Acton's description, said that the child had been
exhibited in Paris, and that the surgeons advised operation.
Fisher, to whom we are indebted for an exhaustive work in
Teratology, received a report from Havana in July, 1865, which
detailed a description of Santos at twenty- two years of age, and
said that he was possessed of extraordinary animal passion, the
sight of a female alone being sufficient to excite him. He was
said to use both penises, after finishing with one continuing
with the other; but this account of him does not agree with later
descriptions, in which no excessive sexual ability had been
noticed.
