importations and inspect and disinfect
them the probability of many unre-

A general warning Is therefore Civ.
en- to all users of such imported plant
stock. namely. TO nurserymen, fruit
raisers, and purchasers Of ornamen.
tails for city or part planting, to keep
all such imported stock under strict
watch to see that these pests do not
develop.
II is scarcely necessary to comment
on the tremendous danger which the
importations of nursery stock of the
last three seasons have brought TO
this country. The enormous cost Of
the gypsy moth and the brown-tail
moth in New England is now well
known. Throughout the infested dis.
tricts of New England orchards have
been completely destroyed and forests
largely obliterated. and even where
woodlands and parks have been pro.
tected at an enormous expense their
beauty and value have been vastly
lessened.
Massachusetts has spent millions OF
dollars In an effort to control these
pests. and with their spread to other
states the work of control has been
taken up in these also. The National
government has been asked to come
to the rescue, and is now appropriat
ing 100000 a year in the mere at
tempt to check the distribution Of
these pests along the principal high
ways. Massachusetts and the othel
infested New England states are nov
spending more than a million dollar,
a year In control work. In spite O

er Maine resorts have already felt this

disastrous, inasmuch as control over

English Surgeon Calls Cancer
Experiments Absurd.
Or. Snow, for Twenty-Five Years
Head Of London Hospital, Striving
to Have Laws Passed Pro-
hibiting Practice.

hiladelphia-Cancer as found IN
human beings has no analogy to the
supposed cancer declared to have
been found In mice, according to Dr.
Herbert Snow, a noted English sur
geon. and the experiments Of vivisec-
tionists along this line, he believes.
are, therefore. futile and absurd.
DR.. Snow, for 20 years head of the
cancer hospital in London, is an ar
dent anti-vivisectionist, and is In this
country for the purpose OF striving to
have laws passed forbidding expert
ments on living animals. He Is the
guest of Mrs. Caroline Earle White,
president of the Anti-vivisection soci.
ETY. Of Philadelphia. He will appear
before the committees of the legisla-
lures Of this state and New York,
which have in charge bills prohibiting
experimentation on living animals.
Il do not base my opposition to vivi.
section wholly or even largely on the
ground that it is inhuman and barbar
ous," said DIR. Snow. ut seems to me
that on the much broader common
sense ground of tutility and absolute
uselessness IL is most open to condem-
nation. Throughout the years of its
existence as a practice not one thing
of value has been added to medical or
surgical science.
1T is quite true that some rather
startling and even revolutionary
things have been. asserted, but these
assertions are merely subterfuges.
The advocates of vivisection know
that they must advance something as
an excuse for their practices, and
they throw dust in the eyes of the
people and fool them by insisting al
ways that they are on the eve Of
great discoveries.

conducted researches In that way,
but after years of experimentation
was forced to the conclusion that,
however valuable such research might
be in other departments of medicine.
II was absolutely valueless so far as
cancer was concerned.
"Vivisectors never tire of asserting
that the immortal Harvey made his
discovery of the circulation by living
animal experiment. Harvey himself
ascribes 1t to careful observation
among the living and the dead. Sec
ond, he does not appear to have dis
covered II at all. The question was
in the air. Many persons were work

ians claim the honor for Fracastorius
Malpighi first microscopieally showed
a circulation in the web of frogs

death. Third. no modern Psychologist
would dream Of demonstrating the cir
culation by a vivisection experiment;
there are almost insuperable Difficult
ties in the way. And the discovery
could not well have been made by this
method.
