the appendix, of which till now they
were ignorant, Is to preserve man
from the degeneration of old age and

What do they propose to do we
may ask, incidentally, for all those
people who have been deprived of
their appendix and are therefore un-

degeneration? Will they offer the
younger among them the consolation

ignorance, if it were not for what lies
behind all these contradictory dis
coveries-the sufferings of our fell
low creatures, the animals in the
laboratories, and the sufferings of
our human fellow creatures, who are
made the victims of these ill-sup-
ported theories.
