SOME vIvIsEoTIoN EXPERIMENTS
Senator Greatly Resents the Charge That
He Is Cruel and Inhumane.

He Is Cruel and Inhumane.
In his fourth point the senator says:
Recurring to the suggestion -
that have not introduced into the SEN
ate nor advocated any bill prohibiting
vivisection, beg to say that the pur-
pose has been to regulate the practice.
thereby removing from it the 'inhu-
name and cruel features which have
shocked the moral sense of our peo-
| pie. You will doubtless recall the fact
that when you gave testimony before
the committee on District of Column
bia OH the Dist day of February. 1900.
1 asked you if you thought it improper
for congress to enact law saying that
a dog or a horse should be put under
the influence of anaesthetics before be-
ing cut to pieces or the nerves torn
from the brain, and that you promptly
replied: Il think it would be unwise
legislation
In view of that reply, do you not
think that your charge against me that
l am engaged in efforts to secure in
humane and cruel legislation should be
withdrawn, and especially so when we
have undoubted testimony to the fact
that one experimenter is in the habit
of plunging dogs for thirty seconds
into boiling water; that another fast
ems dog to the dissecting table, and
discarding the use of anaestbetics
stands above it with a large empty
stone bottle with which he strikes with
all his strength a dozen violent blows
on the head; while the same expert
menter says that he dislocates both
the shoulders. doing it with difficulty.
'If, sir, to attempt to prevent such
barbarous practices brings me under
your condemnation / am willing to
have the case submitted to the judg.
ment of the American people. Are
you sure, sir, that you saved the life
of Midshipman Aiken? Are not blood
clots frequently absorbed by the pro-
cesses of nature, and is it not a fact
that in many such experiments death
has resulted because of the operation?
Your claim that you located the blood
ciot because of experiments upon ami
mails may or may not be true, as we
have the highest possible authority for
believing that such experiments are
oftentimes misleading, and absolutely
without value Gallinger then quotes
Professor Ferrier, Lawson TAFT. and
Sir Benjamin Ward Richardson as en-
inent medical men who discountenance
and discredit vivisection, and closes
with indorsing the latter's declaration
that vivisection experiments should be
few and far between. and painless

GALL|NGER RESPONDS
New Hampshire Medical Senator
Replies to the Criticisms
of DR.. Keen.
OPENS UP WITH AN IMPUTATIoN
That Kee.:, . Violating Medical Ethics
-Vivtsocti.ns That Make the.
Flesh Creep.

Washington, Dec Ex-senator Gal
Iinger. OF New Hampshire, who also
is member of the medical profes-
sion, gives out letter in reply to the
published letter of Dr. w. W. Keen,
of Philadelphia, sent him Il week ago,
of which the following is the sub
stance:
Dear Sir Reviewing your letter OF
Dec. >, 1902, which you gave to the
press of the United States, respecting
your success in the case of Midship-
man Aiken, l note four points:
First, thatself advertisement is pro-
hibited by the ethics of our profes-
sion.
Second. that Misrepresentation is
forbidden by the ethics of mankind"
In celebrating this point Gallinger de-
nies that he has been engaged in adj
vocating such legislation as is credited
to him by Keen. Then he goes on:
Case Where Doctors Disagree.
Third, that your argument turns en-
tirely on an assumption which cannot
be maintained, namely. that the 10
caliZation of the functions in the brain
of man has been determined by eX-
perimentation on animals. The brains
of animals differ from the brain of
man, and also differ from one another.
so that stimulation of q certain part of
the brain will produce certain effect
in one animal and another effect in
another animal. Long history of eX-
pertinent on the brains of animals has
shown that il is not only not safe TO
reason from the brains of animals to
that of man, but that such reasoning
is not safe as between the brain of one
animal and that of another.
Results Have Been Disastrous.
1T has been so generally with ami
NAL experimentation. When such eX-
pertinent had established a fact with
regard to any species of animal the
next thing was, Now. let us see if it is
the same in man. The eXperimenterS.
therefore, saw by experiment in some
form upon man, and sometimes the re-
suit was similar and sometimes not
That such experiments upon man as
results of reasoning from the lower
animals have been to a great extent
diSastFous-iS certain. for il is the tes-
timony of great surgeons and physi-
oloSists.''

On the other hand, under the
idea of an ounce of prevention
etc. general course of vaccina
ton should be resorted to, as this
is regarded by medical advisors
as the greatest prevention of the
disease. Physicians who are
tending cases are constantly vac
cinating themselves, finding it
necessary te repeat this every few
days. The idea that to vaccinate
every seven years is a safe pre-.
ventative is not regarded by them
as correct, and persons who have
not been vaccinatel for a long
time should not rely upon an old
vaccination, but should get vac
cinated again. fit does not take

SMALLPOX

Astoria now has a case OF
smallpox. Rumors have already
magnified this case into an cpl
demic, although it is a very mild
case. With smallpox raging all
over the country it is not strange,
with the great amount of travel to
this city that we have caught it.
1t is remarkable, however, that
we have not caught it earlier.
The case in question can hardly
be called smallpox, as the patient
had been vaccinated before TAX
ing it and the doctors regard the
case more as one of varioloid
than smallpox. Still it is con-
tagious and serious cases might
have developed from it had
not the authorities found it out
and taken necessary precautions
at once, While the patient is re-
ported to have travelled about
town considerably before he learn
ed that he had the disease, it is
hoped that he did not scatter the
malady. He was only just tax
ing ii and it is claimed that there
is no danger of infection an this
stage; it is claimed that only
when the patient is conValescing
that the disease is contagious;
that it spreads from the scales
that are thrown off in the con
valescent state. If this be true,
there is no need of alarm from
the present case, as the health
authorities now have the patient
in q pest house thoroughly isolat-
ed and out of reach of all thor
oughfares and habitations.
But this is not the only source
Of danger 10 the city from the
contagion. The disease is every
where. People cannot be res
trained from coming and going
and it would not be proper to
do so. The universal range of
the disease would block and play
havoc with the commerce of the
country if a general quarantine
was resorted to. The only way
