sary cruelty and suffering upon animals in the
practice of viyisection than is found in the
rules recently adopted by the American Medi-
cal Association Of the United States regulat-
ing the conduct of animal experiment alton
in laboratories. These rules are as follows:
l. Vagrant dogs and cats brought l. this
laboratory and purchased here shall be held
at least as long as at the city pound ard
shall be returned to their owners If claimed
and identified.
II. Animals in the laboratories shall receive
every consideration for their bodily comfort;
they shall be kindly treated properly fed, md
their surroundings kept in the best possible
sanitary condition.
III. No operations on animals shall be made
except with the sanction of the director o.
the laboratory who holds himself responsible
for the Importance of the problem studies
and for the procedure used in the solution of
these problems.
". In any operation likely to cause greater
discomfort than that attending anaesthetza-
ton, the animal shall first be rendered inca
pable of perCeiving pain and shall be main
tanned in that condition until the operation is
ended. Exceptions to this rule will be made
by the director alone and then only when
anaesthesia would defeat the object of the
experiment In such cases an anaesthetic shall
be used so far possible and may be discOn-
tinued so long as Is absolutely essential for
the necessary observations.
v At the conclusion of the experiment the
to the rule will be made only when tn econ.
tinuanCe of the animals life is necessary to
determine the result of the experiment In
that case the same aseptic precautions shall
be observed during the operation and so far
possible, the same care shall be taken to
minimize discomforts during the GONZALES
cence as in hospital for human beings
These rules, it has been claimed in public
hearings before our Legislature are now post
ed in practically all the large laboratories
where legitimate scientific vivisectioh is per-
formed. 1t Is also claimed by the medical
profession that every effort is taken to en-.
force these regulations to prevent cruelty
This being the case the Society for the Pre-
ventiOn of Cruelty in Animal Experimentation
recently caused some of these rules to be
framed in the form of an amendment to the
penal CODE which was drawn in such a way
as to make the violation of these rules a
misdemeanor, punishable by law However,
the insincertty of our opponents to all laws
suggesting the reasonable regulation or re-
strictiOn Of the practice of vivisection was
apparent when the representative of the Medi-
cal Society of the State of New York and
other organizations which are responsible for
the practice of vivisection united to oppose
most strenuOusly the enactment into a law of
the very rules above stated, which the med
ical association had determined to be neces-
sary to prevent cruelty and had caused to be
posted in all the laboratories under their
control
If it be true, as claimed by these learned
gentlemen of the medical profession, that the
enforcement of the above quoted rules in

7w Light on the Causes and Cure of the Drink Habit

TTHE drink habit, when It is not within the
victims control, is disease, not a vice.
1 and can be surely cured. according to
Dr j. W Ashley Cooper, in his new work on
inebriety. .Jr. Cooper is Medical Superintend-
erl of Ghyuwood, the famous sanaIorium OF
Cumberland, England
The occasional drinker who makes merry
once N a while on Saturday night, Is dis
missed from consideration at the start. II
there is no inherited weakness they will never
become slaves TO alcohol Therefore they be-
loag 10 the province Of the reformer and the
policeman not the doctor
The true victim OF alcohol is marked for
prey long before he tastes liquor. Such per
son feels an uncomfortable need OF the stimu-
lant- II he feels ii all the time he is chronic
drinker and consumes about the same amount
each day The periodic drunkard has either
no inclination for alcohol most Of the time or
so small a desire that he can overcome it.
At intervals OF weeks or months there comes
upon him an Unsuitable desire This desire
according 10 d. Cooper. is clearly enough
form Of explosive insanity and resembles cpl
leptic attacks
That these periodic attacks are not entirely
a weakening OF the vii. or even sometimes
wholly in the nervous system. is proved by
cases in the sanatorium. When a patient is
confined and deprived Of alcohol during one OF
these attacks. his bodily functions are altered
Not only his disposition becomes irritable but
his tongue grows furry. his breath foul and his

neglect their work and the patient will go TO
any lengths to secure the intoXiCant
At the end of the attack these organs spring
into unusual activity. the irritation passes and
with it the thirst and morbid desire.
The chronic victim has the ungoyernahle
desire at all times unless his system is satu
rated with alcohol The chronic patient is
distinguished by his entire inability to endure
pain whether physical or mental The slight
est ache or worry drives him frantic and moth
ing will quiet him or make life bearable but
alcohol
Such persons are defective in moral sense
and particularly lacking in responsibility.
Responsibility is discomforting TO them. This
accounts for the otherwise ineXplcable habit
some drinkers have OF being hopelessly intoNi-
Gated at exactly the wrong time
At a crisis. instead of swearing on or merely
taking enough to brace the nerves, these un-
lortunates become literally paralyzed. The
captain who becomes drunk at the ap-
proaCh of a storm and the soldier who comes
TO court martial intoxicated, are examples
The chronic inebrate who is used TO a quart
Of whisky per day mus. not be deprived of
HIS stimulant all at once. The first day his
alcohol should be reduced 10 per cent, the
second day 10 per cent more, reducing the
amount to so per cent; the third day to 70
per cent; the fourth DAY to so per cent. Up
TO this point the patient has suffered only
from a craving for alcohol. He misses his

or in a special sanatorium, there is no doubt
that the second stage is best carried out in
such an institution where those in charge
have thorough knowledge, and, what is equ-
ally important, a profound interest in their
work. apart altogether from its commercial
standpoint We venture to think that there
is no abnormal condition to which man is
subject, where the treatment calls for such
untiring hope energy, patience, sympathy,
frmness and tact combined, as is the case in
the treatment of inebriety, ana unless those
qualities are ingrained in the superintendent
OF an nebriate sanatorium his work will suf-
fer. 1t is work that he must do himself and
cannot constantly delegate to those under him.
We will suppose that the first stage of treat.
ment has been duly carried out at home or in
an institution. and that the patient is now
commencing the second stage in the best pos
sible environment OF a well-situated and we'll

irrespective of their individual physical and
mental symptoms. Speaking generally. we
think that those drugs should be used which
have been proved to alleviate or cure such
organic or functional physical disorders as
are obvious to the physician on the examina-
ton of the patient We shall have occasion
to refer again to the routine courses of drugs
that are still being used in the treatment of
inebriety. OF the utmost Importance in the
treatment of this stage are occupation and

Sandow showed that this was So and bv tne
simple invention of his grip dumb-bell at once
insured the mind of the patient being fixed on
his work; the moment his mind wandered his
grip relaxed, and he ceased to carry ont his

The mind must be influenced and restored to
normal self-control, either while the patient
is in waking or in a hypnotic state This
is the real cure, and continuous care and

exercise; the life should be an outdoor one
as far as possible at all events a certain
amount of outdoor exercise should be taken
daily. Such exercise should be as congenial
as possible to the patient, and preferably be
both mental and physical. Golf, rackets, lawn
tennis, Croquet bowls, are all excellent forms
of exercise for such patients as we are now
dealing with. If one particular exercise is
unsuitable, another is thoroughly So all pro
viding interest as we'll as exercise, and in
surfing Especially golf long periods being
spent in the open. Hobbies of all sorts
suitable to the patients particular fances
should be encourage, and the facilities for
them should be provided in a good sanator-
ium. Indoor amusements and occupation
should also be provided, a well-stocked library
being a Sine Qua Non in such an institution.
A certain amount of work, preferably physi-
cal should form part of the treatment; many
patients will do such work If it is provided
for them; many will do no work. or anything
that suggests work We are of opinion that
enforced work is of comparatively little value
to the patient. Exercise, whether mental or
physical, is OF little real value unless it is
done with a will and with intelligence: whereas
forced work, while of some little value to the
employer, is of even less value to the worker.
This is wonderfully eXemplified in the use of
dumb-beu exercises. Many people have used
such a nstless routine manner for months
or even years without any, or with extremely
title, result to their physical development.

been claimed by those who have most siren
uOusly opposed them, the work Of anti-vivisec
tionists who were attempting thus to insert
an entering wedge in the hope of securing
the abolition of vivisectiOn eventually.
To class these bills as anti-yivisection
measures is unjust. We believe that vivi-
section, although inevitably accompanied with
an enormous amount of suffering among our
dumb animals, is justihable if it is calcu'
lated to diminish suffering in the long nn, but
we believe also that such experiments should
be conducted discriminatory and by those
only who are competent to perform them and
from whose efforts some results of value Tay
reasonably be expected.
At the next session of the Legislature our
bill for the appointment Of a commission to
investigate the subject will again be present
ed. Similar bills no doubt will be presented
in other States where organizations are con-
Quoting the fight along the same lines.
Let me state here some of the reasons why
every reader of this page should lend his or
her support not only to the bills themselves.
but to the principle which they are intended
to enforce.
No stronger proof could possibly be given
Of the extreme danger of inficting unneces-

laboratories are necessary to prevent cruelty,
then why should these gentlemen object to
having these rules framed into a law which
could be enforced by penalties of criminal
punishment? Any opposition to this form of
legislation is but another indication of that
insincerity which, while denying the existence
OF any cruelty or wrong-doing, violently op-
poses either an investigation to verify their
statement that there is no cruelty or legisla-
ton which, while protecting legitimate scien-
tihc research would make punishable the
abuse which the existence of these rules con
cedes to exist
We are constantly told that there is no
abuse and consequently nothing to investi
gate, but the laboratories where these opera
tons are carried on are practically closed to
all those not in sympathy with the experi.
ments there conducted. While the published
records OF the great research laboratories are
constantly detailing experiments which, If not
performed with the greatest degree of con
slderation and when possible under anaesthet-
les must inevitably cause immense suffering.
Why not regulate these experiments by law?
In legislative hearings concerning the prac-
tlce Of vivisection and in the public press for
many years, an attempt has been made to
confuse the issue. Each year lawmakers be-
fore. whom these bills have come have been
told that there are only two sets of advocates
represented: yiyiseCtionigts and anti-vivisec-
tonists. That statement unqualifedly false.
DO not be deceived by H.
There is a third party. 1t Is composed Of
twelve thousand active citizens who thor
oughly believe in the value of vivisecton, but
insist that its practice lhould be regulated by
law. 1t is this party which has presented the
bills in question.
Those who oppose our bills need waste no
breath in telling us that vivisection is useful;
we believe it. Spend no time in dwelling on
its successes; we admit them. Let them con-
fine their attention to a few straight ques.
tons:
Are they doing good honest work free from
unnecessary cruelty?
Why are they afraid to prove this if it be
true?
Why do they not welcome the opportunity
to prove it?
We do not object to scientific research, we
do object to any unnecessary cruelty or abuse
of this research and to the useless repetition
of the same old painful experiments simply to
illustrate lecture. We object also to school
boy observation-disclosures Dr. Coakley, one of
the directors from New York at one of these
hearings told the committee that he advocated
vivisection by children-and vivisection in
back yards and cellars. They say they will be
accountable to no one, they will permit neither
knowledge nor inquiry concerning this prac-
tiCe. They say it is and shall remain open
alike to the expert and the incompetent, to
the medical student, the hospital inferno, the
quack and the charlatan, and when we say
why must it so remain?' their answer, their
one argument appears to be you are anti
vivisectiOnists," which statement we say is a
falsehoOd.
They have admitted that there is often nee,

ton of vivsection was necessary.
None of these bills has ever come to a
vote in the Legislature.
Two bills asking for an official investiga-
ton of this subject we're introduced into the
Legislature of the State of New York this
year-the McCleland bill, which related to
animal experimentation, and the Herrck bill,
which related to human experimentation.
The McClelland bill was reported by the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee by a majority OF
. to 4, and was placed upon the calendar Of
the Senate for passage. but was not reached
for final vote at the time when the Legisla-
ture adjourned. The Herrck bill which under
took to investigate the practice of human
vvsection, was introduced SO late in the
session that it was not reported. Both OF
these bills will be pressed next year
In several other States, notably Massachu-
sets, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Mary
land. as also in the District of Columbia, or
CARNATIONS devoted to the same aims the

fight for a legal inquiry into the subject Of
