tors are not such cruel beasts" as pro-
ponents of the bill would paint them.
Experiments upon animals at the
medical school do not cause students
to become "cruel and inhuman," he
said.
He pointed out that the discovery
of insulin, now widely used in the
treatment of diabetes, was possible,
only because of experiments made
upon animals.
"Half a million diabetic patients
now are supporting families and liv-
ing happy, useful lives, thanks to the
discovery of insulin by those two
chaps in Toronto" he said.
DR.. E. P. Lyon, dean of the uni
versity medical school, said that if
the bill were passed he would advise
medical students to go to other uni
versities to pursue their studies.
DR.. Olga Hanson, a physician also
on the university staff, asked propon-
ents of the bill if they wanted to ego

The practice of vivisection was de-

Charles Edward Russell, writer and

practices he makes upon animals"
Truman Pierson of Minneapolis said
he had talked to dogs and dogs

''The dogs, though unorganized, are
against the BILL" he said.
DR.. Walter G. Alverez of the Mayo
clinic at Rochester recounted the
progress made in the treatment of a
disease as a result of experiments up
on animals.
"There are thousands of people to-
night whose only hope rests upon the
laboratory of some physician" DR..
Alverez said. CONDEMNED to die,
their only hope is that out of the lab
