CRUELTY IN W|SECT|ON
DENIED BY PHYSICIANS
Declarations and Allegations
Made at Congress Here
Called GrOundIeSS.
Drs. George II. Kober, Harry Lewis
and G. p. King Make
Statements.

Leading physicians and surgeons of
Washington today discussed many of the
statements made at the anti-vivisection

yesterday, uniting In the declaration that
many of the allegations were groundless
and others were much exaggerated.
DR.. George NJ. Kober, dean of the
Georgetown University College Of Medi-

"Vfvisection in America has been care

DR.. Harry Lewis. director. and superin-

Its next step will be to trace the lines

The nationwide inquiry has tended to
