VIVISECTION: LIFESAVER OR FRAUD!

necessary, because some of our
most important medical discov-
cries, such as the sulfa drugs and
penicillin, were made by chemi-
cal experimentation alone.
Yes, these drugs might accu-
rately be called test-tube discov-
cries. But that omits the fact
that they would be of no earthly
use to us if researchers had not
been able to test them on ami
mails. This is an essential step in
the use of almost all powerful
drugs. Safety tests are required
by our Federal Food, Drug and
Cosmetic Act.
Another Procedure
DR. VICTOR HEIsER once put
this problem of testing squarely
before a group of anti-vivisec-
tonists at a legislative hearing.
He produced a small bottle
which he said contained a DOS
sible cure for hookworm. This
disease was then killing hundreds
of thousands of human beings
and dogs every year.
"Ordinarily," the doctor said,
we would test this on dogs.
Since you object to that, let's
try another procedure" He then
nodded at one of the objectors.
''I'n give you one teaspoon
full" To another he said,
''I'n give you two" And, to
another, ''I'n give you three.
Then we'll see what happens.
= You may become terribly sick,
but l don't think you'll die. And
anyway, you'll have the salts
faction of knowing you have
served your best friend
DR.. Heiser started pouring and
the anti-vivisectionists vanished.
The next-to-last-ditch argu-
ment is that, despite all the
medical claims, vivisection can't
be of great value because we still
suffer so much from so many
diseases.
They Keep Trying
INDEED we do. Every year
177,OOO Americans die of cancer.
More thousands die of heart dis
ease, tuberculosis and apoplexy.
The anti-vivisectionists quote
one doctor who insists there will
never be a cure for cancer. But
most medical men want to keep
on trying. Diabetes used to kill
nearly everyone it touched. But
the doctors continued to fight it,
and two of them at last created

the magic of insulin. Today that
drug is keeping l 900, 900 Ameri-
cans alive. 1t cost the lives of 80
dogs. There was a time when
paralysis of the respiratory mus
cles meant certain death. Now
we have the iron lung. That cost
us "a cats.
Until three years ago, early
death was certain for the
STOPPING, gasping children
known as "blue babies" A
malformation of heart and arter-
les cut down the blood supply to
their lungs. Now they are saved
by the hundreds because of an
intricate operation perfected by
DR.. Alfred Blalock, of Johns
Hopkins Hospital. In his expert
ments, he used rs dogs, many of
which survived.
Thousands of Americans owe
their lives to the bronchoscope,
which makes it possible to re-
move foreign objects - nails,
bones, safety pins, etc. - from
the throat. The instrument and
the technique for using it were
developed in experiments on
anesthetized dogs. One such
dog, a dachshund named Bozo,
has been used to train IA bron-
choscopic specialists. In Great
Britain, on the other hand, anti
vivisection laws prevent this use
of animals. Result: no broncho-
scopists.
Tough fights Ahead
l HE doctors have won many
great battles against disease, but
their toughest ones may well lie
ahead. 1t seems only reasonable
that they should have every nee
essary weapon at hand to help
them. At the Cornell University
Medical College, DR.. Ephraim
Shorr is hard at work against
'irreversible shock" a post-in-
jury condition that has probably
killed more soldiers than bullets
have. DR.. Shorr is using dogs on
this job and without them, he
says, this important research
will come to a stop.
The anti-vivisectionists have
still another argument which
they think is a clincher: medical
research cannot really justify
animal experimentation, because
no matter how many tests are
made, the final test must always
be made on man.
They are right, but it seems
