But the pigs were got rid and so the cure of their disease accom- The same scientific method is applied to cows, sheep, and horses, these victims or beneficiaries being favored as opportunity occurs. And it will be remarked that this course of cure is first being applied to the lower animals, after the orderly system of vivisection, so that when man’s turn comes, as it already has in public institutions, the human animal will be fully prepared to welcome the progress of science in this particular. If tuberculosis and cancer and pneumonia and some other defiant maladies do not modify their swift pace, it is probable that their cure will be accomplished in the radical manner.
