such that great industrial expansion

The power of railroads to check

Why ViviSeCtion Is Necessary

/ Aside from the exaggerated and hys-
terical charges frequently made by out

doubts which sometimes arise in the
mind of the purely disinterested indi-
vidual-the father of children, let us
say. for example.
Couldn't the lower animals be spar
ed the pain of experiments? Couldn't
doctors get along as well without sub
jecting living animals to experimental
operations and drug tests?
There Are Only Three Courses.
There are three possible courses the
medical profession might follow. First,
to refuse to try any new remedy or
operative procedure, or diagnostic test
on man, because it would be expert

Second, 10 test new ideas, suggestions
and methods at once on helpless or de-
fenseless human beings-the poor in
public institutions, for instance, or
prisoners IN penal institutions. Or,
third. to make preliminary tests OF new
ideas on lower animals, and If the ro-
suits seem promising, or the procedure
proves comparatively safe, then apply
the remedy TO actual cases IN prac-
tice.
II the first course were followed,
all progress in medicine and surgery
would obviously come TO n permanent
standstill. We should never advance

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

Showers and thunderstorms in the
upper Missouri valley and western
Canada and from the southeastern
Rocky mountain slope TO the lower
Mississippi valley have resulted from
the northwestern low which is central
over Saskatchewan, from the summer
depression over Arizona and from an
other moderate low which is central
over Arkansas. A rainfall OF I52
inches is reported from Little Rock.
Nigh pressures and moderate tempera-
lures prevail from the upper lakes
southwestward 10 Colorado. The bar
ometers are also relatively high on
the Atlantic and north Pacific coasts.
On account OF the high air pressure
TO the westward. fair weather IS in
dicated for this vicinity tonight and
Thursday. No important change in
temperature is expected.
