C. eo ecor Ss From Our Readers (Continued from page 755) Not So Infantile Dear Lire: Dr. Simon Flexner’s statement that “through animal experimentation we have already discovered how to pre- vent infantile paralysis” has not a shred of truth to back it up, and it is morally certain that he is equally at fault when he says that “the achieve- ment of a cure is now not far distant, provided, "—well, if they are allowed te continue their animal experiments without interference. The fact of the matter is that man is the only animal that sits, or stands on his hind legs, completely erect; and he is, therefore, the only animal that has “ infantile paralysis,” The tendency of this ab- normal position is to paralyze. The editor of Lire will, I feel sure, admit that after bearing the weight of his body on the tip end of his spine for ar hour or so, he is, on rising, con- scious of a sort of stiffness of the hind quarters rather suggestive of paralysis. The writer has put this question up to many persons, including trained athletes, and they have invaria- bly agreed to his claim as indicated in the foregoing. answer every question The Reo record of 10 days 15 hours 13 minutes from New York to San Francisco is more convincing proof of what you want in a motor- car than all the records of all the other 1911 cars put together.

Extract From a Letter “T wish to convey to the editor of Lire, through you, my personal appre- ciation of his splendid work in be- half of dumb animals and still dumber humanity. Two of the pictures in last week's Lire fairly tore me to pieces. I: hurt, but I am willing to undergo the pain if the result will be what I anticipate it must be—a more whole- some awakening of the intelligent men and women of this country to the evils, the horrors, the criminality of their vivisection.” GAB.
