Yet such is the case in your fight inst animal experimentation. man refrain from killing a dog to save the life of his own child? I think not Yet, when the scientist does the killing, that all mankind may reap the benefit, the token of gratitude is a cartoon representing him as a monster. No murmur is raised in behalf of the thousands of helpless steers daily driven to their death to feed us for a single day. But the trifling number of cats and dogs spared from dying neglected in the streets, that by dying in the laboratories the most painless death known they may save those we love from hitherto fatal diseases, is regarded in a different light. Their fate is denounced as brutal in cartoon and verse To this you will perhaps say: “It is not the de- struction of life we denounce, but the suffering inflicted."” The answer is, that suffering is ob- viated by ether. In reply to your statements that no good ever came from these experiments, [ will cite an in- stance. I recently saw two adjacent beds in a hospital ward.

It was a bei liant cure, made possible through the re work of the Rockefeller Institute in New York the so-called “Hall of Agony.” In the otker bed lay a child comatose and dying of anotber kind of meningitis, for which the Rockefeller Institute has not yet found the cure.

Imagine an anti-viviscetionist whose child is bitten by a mad dog. Without treatment the child is in great danger of undergoing the moe horrible death known, while with prompt tres: ment it can be averted. But that treatment wis developed entirely through animal experimen If the man is honorable, he must renounce bs attacks on the work of science and accept i treatment, or sacrifice his child on the altar of the cause he has espoused. The assailants of research are in essenti the same position whenever they send for + doctor. Medical treatment is so dependent upee knowledge obtained from animal experimens that to receive it is accepting stolen goods. Is fact, our boards of health have so sateguarde! us that no man can live in a civilized comm nity without similar transgression. To attack needless torture of animals by in perienced students, if this were common, woud be humane; and to attack medical bigotry, whic is all too prevalent, is most desirable; but whe medical man will heed the needed criticism whet he sees in the same columns bitter assaults oa 2 life-saving practice which he knows to be be mancly conducted?

I have also been amused by some of tH replies from women themselves, which you b3* been good enough to publish for the benefit ¢ your readers.
