HORRORS OF WMsEcTloN.

To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: While comparatively few physicians may be
vivisectors, the responsibility Of laboratory expert
mentations in all their abuses rests largely upon
them. because their journals have bitterly opposed
any inspection. knowing full well that II the truth
concerning vfvisection were known Its very hor-
rors would work its destruction.
Our restrictive bills have been most moderate In
their demands, and although presented by able
counsel have met the strongest opposition from
medical opponents. Vivisection has been carried
with its appalling atrocities. some two thou
sand years. and IL VIII so long as the medical
profession maintains its present attitude OF con-
sent toward the unrestricted atrocities which not
only among the possibilities OF the system,
but upon which its very nature and rsison d'etre
founded.
To deny these atrocities Is impossible for not
only they published, with illustrations, in the
journals OF pathology, but the indisputable test.
monies Of the medical men, which have made
practicable anti-yivisection movement, leave
possible doubt TO The exact nature OF labora-
tory experimentation And It Is fact not to be
dsregarded that yivisection has not on Its record
serum entitled 10 universal acceptance. Each
is Etin under heated dispute, save those now
utterly discsrded-its opponents seeing only USE
lessness and danger where its supporters claim
benefit and FAIR PLAY.

Gives Points on tuberculosis Prevention.

The Central Federated Union listened yesterday
TO Edward t. Devine, secretary Of the Charity Or
ganization Society, who spoke behalf Of the
committee for the prevention of tuberculosis. He
told Of the work that had been accomplished IN
suppressng the disease and said that through the
committee. the press and the labor unions great
deal had been done in the way of more sanitary
dwellings and better safeguards against the dis
ease. Up to a short time ago One-third OF the
total deaths in the city were from tuberculosis,
ana the greatest number OF these deaths those
age.
tuberculosis was not only preVentabe, but durable
In ITS early stages. He gave the rules OF the So
ciety and the Board of Health for decreasing the
danger of the disease. The audience greatly
interested when he said that union were less
liable TO consumption than non-union men. He be-
leved that every dollar spent by the city 70 COM
bat the disease was money well spent.
