Two 150-year-old dolls, Nina and Lucy Ann have been x-rayed in a bid to discover if they were used by Confederate soldiers to smuggle medical supplies past Union blockades during the U.S Civil War.
It is thought the large dolls-had their hollowed out papier-mache heads stuffed with quinine or morphine for wounded and malaria-stricken Confederate troops.
The dolls were taken to Richmond VA to be x-rayed.
The scans proved that the contours inside their craniums and upper bodies were roomy enough to carry the medicines as was believed.
