Many people were born with a rare physical trait which cause remains a mystery which cannot be fathom-out by anyone. Though, this is not to say they are human from another planet or created by another god, it is just that they are a little bit different from those around them.

We have seen twins joined together, people given birth to with only waist without legs, and people with different kinds of down syndrome. Today, I have brought the story of a woman born with four legs and amidst all this, strive hard to define her life in a beautiful way beyond any physical abnormality.

The same way use are struggling to rack your brain how feasible it is, is the same way I am doing right here. So incredible!

Born on May 12, 1868, JosephineMyrtleCorbinwas an American sideshow performer born as a dipygus (She had two separate pelvises side by side from the waist down.)

Each of her smaller inner legs was paired with one of her outer legs, though she was said to be able to move her inner legs, but they were too weak for walking because of her condition.

Corbin was born in Tennessee. Her parents were William H. Corbin and Nancy Corbin. Both parents were described by physicians who checked the baby shortly after her birth as being very similar in appearance- she looked just like her parents.

Despite not being given birth to like her mates with two legs, Corbin showed herself to be healthy as a baby weighing 10 lbs three weeks after her birth, and it was reported in a published journal later in 1868 that ; "she was nursing healthily and was thriving well".

Corbin entered the sideshow cliques with the sobriquet "Four-Legged Girl from Texas" when she was 13 years old.

She never felt bad or inferior because of her rare condition. She created a fantastic world for her self and mingle with people without being shamed. Even one of her first promotional fliers described her as being as "gentle of disposition as the summer sunshine and as happy as the day is long. So awe-inspiring!

At the age of 19 she married James Clinton Bicknell, with whom she had four daughters and a son.

Myrtle Corbin was attractive in face, physically well, and able to attend to all her household duties and even described by people as a very intelligent and a refined woman of some musical taste.

She died in Texas on May 6, 1928. Her casket was covered in concrete and various family members remained vigilant until her remains turned into soil. This was done to prevent grave robbers from stealing her corpse.

Though, in my own opinion, I thought such corpse needed to be preserved for a monumental purpose of immortalizing her

The Danger Of Vitamin D Deficiency.

Vitamin D is essential for our body. It strengthens our immune system, our bones and supports our muscles. Many people underestimate the importance of vitamin D and unknowingly suffer from vitamin D deficiency. The human body produces vitamin D by itself, but it needs support from the sun. Without its rays we would have a hard time producing enough vitamin D to live. Some vitamin D can also be taken up through a healthy diet – by eating fatty fish, mushrooms or dairy products. The fact that our main source of vitamin D is sunlight, means that many people in the northern hemisphere suffer from vitamin D deficiency, especially in winter. An extreme deficiency can cause bone damage, which increases the risk of developing osteoporosis or rickets, a malformation of the bones. There is also a danger that the immune system is weakened, making the affected person more prone to infections. Another theory states that vitamin D deficiency can increase the risk of developing specific chronic disea
