I READ the letter addressed TO

American. and l was surprised to
note that he believes that only
Christian Scientists are opposed
TO vivisectioiR
No one could feel more strongly
against il than I, and I was born
and raised IA Catholic. When 1 was
a child the magazine which for
merly bore the title life" was
waging campaign against yivi-
section, and the pictures they
printed filled me with such horror
that they have remained with me
all my life.
almost shouted with joy when
I learned that your paper had
commenced campaign against
vivisection. I surely admire your
courage, know of many other
eminent persons who were bitterly
opposed TO vivisection, but never
had the courage TO raise their
voices against IL. and had they
done so the beginning OF the end
would have come sooner.
haven't the slightest doubt
