( 16 ) gical processes is absolutely forbidden. And in cases where it is allowed, the lowest species of animals must be used, and only under anaesthetics. "In a vivisection Laboratory” is a book which gives 30 instances of the horrible experiments done in the name of science, by persons held in high esteem, who have received honours and rewards. Dr. Carrel and Dr. Banting, Nobel Prize recipients, cut out the organs of the body and kept the animals alive as long as possible. Sir John Rose Bradford cut out the kidney of fox terriers piecemeal, resulting in various symptoms--diarrhoea, vomiting, emaciation, etc., and the animals lived for varying periods, days, weeks, or months. Sir Victor Horsley and Dr. Blair Bell, of Liverpool, have cut out the parathyroids or pituitary glands of dogs, producing horrible deformities. Banting, in Canada in 1922, discovered Insolin (which appears to have increased the death-rate from Diabetes) by cutting out the pancreas of dogs. Mantegazza, an Italian who died in 1910, performed the experiment of piercing the feet with many nails for preparing material for his book “ The physiology of Pain." Squirting poison in the brain, inoculation in the eyes, injections in the ears, inducing abscesses, and blows on the skull to create epilepsy, are experiments which have been performed by eminent scientists.
There is a note, on page 5 of “The Abolitionist" dated January 1, 1932, of the serious fact that during the last 25 years no fewer than 243 children under five years died from vaccination, and yet only 94 of the saine age from small pox. The statistics given there prove to demonstration that inoculations by vaccines for diphtheria, scarlet-fever, measles, whooping-cough, typhoid, cancer, diabetes, thyroid, tetanus, for phthysis by tuberculin, and for syphilis by salvarsan, have increased the death-rate, and the discontinuance of inoculation has decreased it. The unanimous decision of the Royal Commission on Vivisection was that the tuberculin discovery of Professor Koch was a "Vast Failure”. They added that an access of increased air and light, the avoidance of over crowding, and the provision of proper food will serve to
