The Committee of the London Anti- Vivisection Society, in submitting their twenty-seventh Annual Report to the members and supporters, congratulate them on the progress made during the past twelve months. For though to some the progress of the cause of opposition to scientific cruelty seems to be slow, nevertheless, when a full estimate is made of all the difficulties with which the cause has to contend, nothing but congratulation can be expressed at the result of our efforts. A TRUCULENT SCIENCE. Twenty-seven years ago, when the Society was founded, the great school of humane thought which exists to-day was largely non-existent, it had to be built up painfully stone by stone, and the elementary education of the public at large had to be undertaken under the gravest disadvantages. The early founders of the anti-vivisection movement were few in num- bers, and they had to contend not only with the ignorance of the whole public, and the indifference of the greater portion of it, but with the active hostility of the then growing school of scientific research. For, though the vivisectors in Great Britain and Ireland were then few in numbers, they benefited by the growing admiration of the public for scientific enter- prise, a public which had not learnt to discriminate between science which was objectionable, and that which was unobjec- tionable. Gradually, but quietly, asserting themselves, the devotees of the black art became known as " The Society for the Advancement of Medicine by Research," and, with the active assistance of sympathisers, produced results which were far-reaching in the interests of vivisection. For the vivi- sectors to a large extent fascinated the medical profession and captured the Universities and the Royal Society ; they obtained many posts on the staffs of hospitals, they became represented in Parliament by nominees of the British Medical Association and, latterly, through the London University, "'^ and they obtained the ear not only of the Press, but of Government departments. x\long with this they developed a spirit of audacious pretension, which led the Sir Michael Foster in 1901. B lO late Sir Andrew Clark, in 1883, to describe their operations as " science, drunken with success and drivelling with prophecies.""' This attitude has become stereotyped. The mouths of the vivisectors are full of promises. Fables of cures, and remedies of doubtful utility, have issued peren- nially from the vivisection laboratories. GROWING MISTRUST OF THE PUBLIC. The general public, in their eagerness to believe any fairy tale of science emanating from vivisectional centres, have, in the shortness of their memories, forgotten the failures, and for a long time failed to learn the lesson that this particular phase of scientific inquiry and research was fruitful in illusions and fraught with danger to the art of surgery and the science of medicine. There is reason to hope, however, that they are now awakening to the necessity of allowing time to test the truth of the "marvellous" results attributed to experiments on living animals. It is to be hoped that this spirit of healthy criticism and scepticism, which the Society does its best to engender, will go on and increase, and that the public will not prove in the future, as in the past, so receptive to claims advanced oftentimes on a very slender basis of success, and prematurely admitted into the category of successful scientific discoveries. A BASE AND BLATANT MATERIALISM. At the present time your Society are glad to note that the Christian Churches are becoming alarmed at the pretensions of scientific authority, and are more and more inclined to test the question of vivisection from the old standpoint of the moral law, and, in many cases, are denying to vivisection any moral sanction. For this your Committee are indeed grateful ; they feel that the basis on which the Society was founded — the moral unlawfulness of vivisection — is becoming more and more recognized by the Christian Churches and the public alike, and they are encouraged to hope that, as the years go on, this feeling will deepen, and assist very largely in the suppression and overthrow of a practice which owes its inception to barbarism, and which has developed in materialism of the lowest possible order, more especially in that particular phase of materialism which is concerned only with the miere utilitarian aspects of any question or practice. Our Society was founded, and has been maintained, by those who believe in the moral government of the world. Our opposition to vivisection has always been based on moral grounds, and in protesting, therefore, against this base form of materialism, which is so interwoven with ->' British Medical Journal, February 3rd, 1883. II vivisection, your Committee do not lose sight of the fact that the great Free-thought advocate, the late Col. Robert IngersoU, of America, himself criticised this low and sordid concept of human life, and denounced vivisection in these significant and powerful words : — "Vivisection is the inquisition— the hell — of science. All the cruelty which the human — or rather the inhuman — heart is capable of inflicting is in this one word. Be- low this there is no depth. This word lies like a coiled serpent at the bottom of the abyss. . . . " It is not necessary for a man to be a specialist in order to have and express his opinion as to the right or wrong of vivisection. It is not necessary to be a scientist or a naturalist to detest cruelty and to love mercy. Above all the discoveries of the thinkers, above all the in- ventions of the ingenious, above all the victories of fields of intellectual conflict, rise human sympathy and a sense of justice. ** It may be that the human race might be physically improved if all the sickly and deformed babies were killed, and if all the paupers, liars, drunkards, thieves, villains, and vivisectionists were murdered. All this might, in a few ages, result in the production of a generation of physically perfect men and women ; but what would such beings be worth — men and women healthy and heartless, muscular and cruel — that is to say, intelligent wild beasts ? " Never can I be the friend of one who vivisects his fellow-creatures. I do not wish to touch his hand. " When the angel of pity is driven from the heart; when the fountain of tears is dry, the soul becomes a serpent crawling in the dust of the desert." — From the '' Chronicle of St. George,'' U.S.A., May, 1891. NO LIMIT TO PAINFUL EXPERIMENTS. It is surely a matter of very grave concern for the moral progress of our country when Science, even in one phase of inquiry, admits no limitation to its fields of research or the extent of its power to inflict suffering on the sub-human races of creation, if only some knowledge is gained thereby. The late Dr. W. B. Carpenter, Registrar of London University, a man of great scientific weight in his day, when asked as a witness before the Royal Commission (1875-6) if he would ** put any limit on the painful character of the experi- ments to be made for a scientific purpose," answered, *' I should certainly justify the infliction of any amount of pain for a sufficient purpose" (Question 5603). And although 12 he went on to admit that he had himself seen, in certain instances, " a perfect callousness to animal suffering before the introduction of anaesthetics,"^^ "a callousness which very strongly repelled me that, I think, does not constitute any adequate reason against the performance of well-considered experiments with a definite object." Such a phase of scientific inquiry, under these circum- stances, can only be described as antagonistic to all the best and noblest attributes of human nature, as absolutely opposed to the highest progress of the human race, and fraught with the gravest dangers to morality, humanity, religion, and all the kindly and sweeter virtues of life. THE AWAKENING CHURCHES. It will be observed from the foregoing that the task of the Committee has been one of exceptional difficulty and trial, which has not been lessened by the fact that the Christian laity has been largely uninstructed or misinformed on this grave question, for your Committee feel they have been some- what deserted by many of those to whom tney had a right to look for help and encouragement, namely, those who lead and direct the Christian Churches of the country. Happily the signs of the times are propitious ; not all of the leaders of religious thought in this country have succumbed to the dictation and pretensions of the professors of vivisection, and evidence is accumulating on every hand of the ever-deepening conviction in the religious world that vivisection is an intolerable, inhuman, and immoral branch of scientific inquiry, leading to the gravest moral difficulties, and dangerous alike to the moral health of the nation and to medical science. In the manifold efforts put forward to convince the public of these dangers your Society has had a large share. A glance back over the character and the number of the men and women who have supported the Society by voice and pen shows at once that the Cause of Mercy has not been without its witnesses, even in its darkest days, and the past history of the Society has been hallowed by memories of many good men and women, who have done their utmost to stem the tide of cruelty, and to stimulate the ideals of mercy, compassion, and justice. It is incredible to many persons that in an age given over so largely to higher education, such a barbarous practice as vivisection should exist, and that methods which disgraced the Dark Ages, still survive in days when there is so much talk of the progress of the civilization of the world. 13 THE APPEAL TO THE PEOPLE. The question naturally arises. How are we to adequately grapple with the evil which is in our midst ? It is admitted that the evil has grown and that it is still growing, and the appeal which your Committee have had to make from time to time to the public conscience has not infrequently been met in a manner which suggested that that conscience was not so sensitive as it should be to the call of justice and mercy. Your Committee are glad to report, however, on surveying the whole situation, and fortified by an ever-accumulating experience, that the appeal does not always fall on deaf ears, that when it is made from the platform to large bodies of the people it is never made in vain. The masses of the people, when the appeal is properly made to their sentiment of pity and compassion, respond in a manner which suggests that the sordid materialistic spirit which is the very basis of vivisection is repugnant to their moral sense, and repugnant to that divine sentiment of pity, which is, for a wise purpose, engrafted deeply in human hearts. And while the battle against scientific cruelty has been fierce and unremitting, those who are engaged in the forefront of the battle are cheered on every hand by the growing evidences of sympathy with your Society's work. The abounding vitality of the Cause, particularly in large centres of population, where the sorrows incidental to life enter largely into the existence of people, disprove the fears of the weak-kneed brethren, who throw up their hands in despair, and who call for compromise. Your Committee do not find evidence of any desire in the public mind for compromise on this question when not only the facts of vivisection but the fearful possi- bihties of its abuse are adequately realized. It is untrue to say that the public, when made aware of the practice and its possibilities, are satisfied with suggestions of compromise. They are not. Their call is for the suppression of vivisection in order that its dreadful possibilities may have no chance of realization. a NO SURRENDER. 91 '"Certificate A is granted to vivisectors by the Home Secretary, *' special for experiments without anasthetics.'' It has been the contention of your Committee for years past that no suggestion of compromise must ever emanate from them, and they affirm once more that they will never accede to anything less which may leave open the door of abuse. As Mr. J. H. Levy pointed out at one of the recent receptions of your Committee at their headquarters in London, it is a mistaken policy to suggest a compromise, where great prin- ciples are at stake ; such suggestions come mainly from those who wish to see what they regard as the " worst abuses " put under foot in order that the practice may still continue under what they profess to regard as "adequate safes^uards," but ^4 which your Committee, in their experience of this, and guided by the experience of other great movements, can only regard as a mirage for the promoters of the Cause at large. In 1876 the founders of the Society hoisted the flag of legal prohibition That flag has never been hauled down ; it never can be hauled down without the consent of the members of the Society. Your Committee are glad to be able to place on record the fact that their members have never asked for a different policy to be pursued from that which is being carried out, and that those who work most strenuously, and whose lives are devoted to this Cause, are the most determined that it never shall be abandoned in the face of the enemy, particularly at a time when the necessity is greater than ever for the clear, bold, and determined assertion of the principle of total SUPPRESSION. OUR BILL IN PARLIAMENT. The question, therefore, arises as to what are the best means for securing the promotion of the Cause. Your Com- mittee can only reiterate with deeper conviction than ever the old watchwords of the Society, Educate ! Educate ! ! Educate ! ! ! In this way public opinion is informed and created, representing a weight which candidates for Parlia- ment, and even Parliament and Government themselves, dare not ignore. The Bill which your Committee promoted five years ago will, in all probability, be introduced in the next session of Parliament, but they would, at the same time, point out very clearly that the greatest chance of success which any such measure can obtain will be best obtained when they can send a medical man into Parliament to pilot the measure through the House of Commons. The subject is one involving very deep and careful study, its ramifications are so various, its pitfalls so numerous, that the average lay Member of ParHament has neither the time nor the opportunity to undertake the care and the labour which such a measure involves. For, although the Cause of the Society rests entirely upon a moral basis, the House of Commons is an institution in which this consideration does not always obtain a first and foremost place. The spirit of the age is utilitarian, and though your Society's Cause may be argued entirely on moral grounds by any independent layman, at the same time it would be a great gain to the Cause if a medical man could be sent to the House of Commons to represent our case, even from the point of view of medical authority. THE SINEWS OP WAR. Meanwhile, outside Parliament, the work of the Society is being carried on with the utmost vigour and pertinacity. It r, 15 is not all show work, and it is very uphill work, and the only limitation to the Society's operations is the limitation of funds. Your Committee are loth to appeal to their supporters who have so generously and so unwearyingly assisted them in the past, for further increases of annual help, but they very respectfully suggest to their supporters a method by which they may greatly swell the funds of the Society, and thus enable it to do that greater share of work which the Committee are always anxious to do. If the members of the Society, no matter how small a sum they subscribe, will make it their business each to obtain at least one new member every year, or, in default, to double their subscription, the Society's work will vastly increase, because those who have to carry out your Committee's directions are most desirous to do even more than they now accomplish. LEGACIES. Charities such as ours depend very largely upon legacies. Those received last year were few in number, and your Committee would very earnestly lay this matter before their wealthy friends and sympathizers who are in a position to benefit the Society and thereby promote the Cause, by making the necessary provision in their Wills. The Com- mittee deeply deplore the loss of considerable sums by the procrastination of friends who made promises which they neglected to fulfil. THE BROWN INSTITUTE. A matter which has always been a great grievance to the supporters of the cause has been the existence of the Brown Institute in the Wandsworth Road, London. If, what your Committee believe to have been the intention of the late Mr. Thomas Brown, of Dublin, whose generosity enabled this building to be provided, had been carried out, the Brown Institute would have been a hospital for the cure, the alleviation, and the study of the diseases of animals, but as it stands it is an infirmary on one side, and a vivisectional laboratory on the other, and your Committee are advised that the provision of the latter is not in accordance with the well- known desires and views of Mr. Brown. They are glad, therefore, to be able to record that the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, recognising its obvious duty in the matter, is about to take legal proceedings against the Senate of the University of London, who are the responsible authority for what is held to be a grave abuse of a great and charitable trust. Your Committee fervently hope that the result may be the dispossession of thevivisector. i6 OUR VAN CAMPAIGN. The Society's Van, the only one of its kind in existence, is now about to enter on its 6th summer tour. The work of the Van is invaluable in a variety of ways, because it brings the cause before numbers of people who are never reached in any other manner, and it also tends to maintain an unbroken continuity of work from year's end to year's end. Formerly meetings commenced in the autumn and ended with the spring, but no sooner is our winter and spring campaign concluded than the Van takes up the thread of the work arid carries it on through the summer, and it may truly be said that the track of the Van across country is white with the literature which the Van circulates on its educational mission. Opportunity may here be taken to record with gratitude and thankfulness the services which Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Tracy again rendered last season to this portion of the Society's operations, and your Committee feel that a special vote of thanks is due to them from the Society and the Com- mittee for their self-sacrificing and whole-hearted efforts to assist the great cause in which they are so deeply interested. Your Committee most fervently appeal to their members for increased support to the Van Fund, support which, during the past seasons, has not been commensurate with the amount and value of the work done by its agency. THE WINTER'S WORK. Never before has the winter work of the Society been so busy or widespread, and funds for this are most urgently needed if the work is to be efficiently and adequately done. The lantern lectures have been conducted, as in the previous winter, by the Secretary, and large meetings have been addressed with successful results on behalf of the cause. Your Committee are glad to record one particular instance showing the value of a great educational effort and the success which follows a well-organized meeting when outside help is obtained. They refer especially to a great gathering in the district of Stratford, where the Town Hall, with accommoda- tion for 2,000 persons, was filled almost exclusively by people belonging to the working-classes in the district of Stratford on the borders of East London, The success of this was considerably due to Councillor McAllen (of Stratford) and his friends. This experience could be, no doubt, repeated if your Committee were in possession of the funds to enable them to hold such meetings when opportunities are favourable, as they frequently are. But it is impossible for any one person to do more than a certain amount without assistance, and the strain placed upon the Society's staff in the winter is at all times very considerable, and sometimes far greater than is desirable. 17 A generous increase of support would enable your Committee to meet this difficulty, and to provide additional helpers when necessary, as is frequently the case. THE BRANCHES. The work of the Branches during the year has been carried on with very great vigour, and considerable success. Your Committee are glad to announce the formation of a powerful new Branch in Gloucester, altogether due to the efforts of our friend, Dr. Hadwen and his influential supporters in that town, and your Committee are happy to congratulate the Society on possessing what is one of the finest and most effective Branches in the kingdom. This is probably due to the presence of a popular and influential medical man, and your Committee's one regret is that they have not many other centres in the kingdom, having such genuine helpers as Dr. Hadwen to take the lead. At Croydon a new Branch has recently been formed under the most favourable auspices, following an address on the Sunday afternoon to the Croydon Religious Discussion Society by the Secretary, while new Branches have also been formed in Dublin, Belfast, and Glasgow, and steps taken to form others in different places in the kingdom. Meanwhile the old Branches, such as those at Brighton and Hove, Eastbourne, Buckingham, and East Devon, Hastings and St. Leonard's, and Ealing, have carried on a most vigorous campaign, and your Committee would especially draw attention to the laborious efforts of their Branch Secretaries in all directions, Mrs. Upham at Ealing, Miss Reid and Mr. Cutcliffe at Dawlish, Miss Baddeley and the Misses Deane at Eastbourne, Mrs. Boulton and Miss Skerritt at Hove, Mr. H. J. Snow at Brighton, Miss Sylvester and Miss Ison at St. Leonard's and Hastings, Miss Una Hadwen at Gloucester, and Mr. Hill at Buckingham. Mr. Snow's work at Brighton has been extended to Lewes and adjacent places, aided by lantern illustrations, which have greatly increased the efficiency and interest of Mr. Snow's efforts. In Ireland new Branches were formed in February, and the efforts of Mrs. Hare in Dublin, and Mrs. Milligen at Belfast, are worthy of the Society's deep and hearty thanks. Indeed, the operations in Ireland are breaking new ground for the Society's cause, and are all the more necessary on account of the recently announced gift of Lord Iveagh of a large sum of money to extend the laboratories in connection with Dublin University. Your Committee would bring specially to the attention of their supporters the following speakers who have pleaded the cause of the animals on the Society's platform during the year:— Col. Sandys, M.P., Dr. Hadwen, Dr. Wall, Rev. c i8 Conrad Noel, M.A., the Ven. Archdeacon of Lewes, Canon Irvine, Sir Thomas Brady, Mrs. Ormiston Chant, Rev. W. T. Turpin, Rev. Nevison Loraine, Surgeon-General Thornton, Mr. A. G. Shiell, Mr. Herbert Burrows, Rev. J. Baird, Mr. A. Maconachie, M.A., Barrister-at-law, Mr. J. Sutcliffe Hurndall, M.R.C.V.S., Mr. Charles Mallet, Miss Woodward, Councillor Mc Allen, Councillor McClean, Mr. H. J. Snow, and others. THE LITERARY DEPARTMENT. AND "THE ANIMALS' GUARDIAN." The Committee's literary output during the past year has been maintained at high pressure, and from many quarters the demand on the Society for literary help is at times almost overwhelming. Your Committee are glad, however, to con- gratulate the Society upon the popularity of its numerous publications, which are regarded as indispensable to the successful promotion of the cause at large. And further, the increase of the Society's work has led to the enlargement and improvement of their organ, the Animals'' Guardian, which, under the editorship of the Secretary, is increasing in useful- ness and interest month by month, and securing most encouraging support and commendation. The Animals Guardian costs the Society nothing except for the printing and illustrations, the whole of the literary and editorial work being done by the Secretary and his friendly helpers without any expense to the Society. While your Committee ara glad to record a considerable accession of new members, they very deeply deplore the loss of many old friends. THE DEATH ROLL. The obituary of the year — a sad, long list — Contains the names of the following : — Sir Arthur Arnold, D.C.L. Miss C. Barnard Dr. Buckle Mrs. Fenwick Bisset Miss F. Cust Miss M. Philp Mrs. Maden Holt Dr. Stanford Harris Dr. Harvey (St. Leonard's) The Rev. Hugh Price Hughes, M.A. Dr. Macaulay (Editor of the Leisure Hour) Mrs. E. H. Power (an old and valued member of the Committee) Mrs. Grain Very Rev. Dr. Stephen (Dean of Winchester) Miss Helen Blackburn Mrs. Oliver Powell Mrs. Copeland Mrs. Summers Hutchinson Mrs. Carrington Howard Mrs. Ebbs Mrs. Heckford They wish to place on record their deep sense of the 19 obligation the Society and the Cause were under to these good friends, whose counsel and support they so much miss. They have passed into the keeping of the Eternal Father of all creation, and they have the reward of the just and the merciful. LAST WORDS. Your Committee's last word in reviewing the work* of the past year must be one of congratulation and hope. If it be true of the British people that they never know when they are beaten, it is equally true of your Committee that they never recognize any impossibility in the task they have undertaken. They have resolved that the work which the Society was called into being to do shall be done. The London Anti-vivisection Society exists to fight a great moral evil, a crime against humanity, and a most wicked injustice to those whom Mr. Herbert Spencer has so admirably described as '' the sub-human races." That work your Committee will, if re-elected to their posts, be glad to continue during the ensuing year, in the firm hope and belief that the members of the Society will respond as in former years, and, if possible, with greater liberahty and deeper resolution, to the call the Committee now make to them, to strengthen their hands for the work they have to do, and to resolve more firmly than ever that — since total prohibition by law is the only adequate remedy for this poisonous and corrupting evil, they will continue to work for this, remembering the sacred trust bequeathed to them by the venerated founders of the Society. 20 fl 21 H O z o w H H < H Q H (I] D o Our Touring Van beside the Shakespeare Memorial, Stratford-on-Avon. 20 21 I ■1 s H D O o w H H < H W Q o < a: z o > Q H c/J <5 W D O Our Touring Van beside the Shakespeare Memorial, Stratford-on-Avon. o -> 23 Our Stall at the Church Congress, Northampton, 1902. ^ < < o H <: •ai H 2 M H < H o o 7: z o *— ( H O u t/2 o ON •-I o > D < w pa % U H - Z >^ < y z ^ O fij o z o H S ^ Z ° o w O o o w H 22 Our Stall at the Church Congress, Northampton, 1902. 23 K K (U O N H M On W >< O Z ^ i-i o 5 1/3 w ^ pa O w o - % M o 1-4 24 25 LIST OF SUBSCRIPTIONS, DONATIONS, Etc. :Mr. William Bingham, who is connected with the directorate of one of the leading Insurance Companies in the City of London, said of the London Anti-Vivisection Society and its work : — " In the Annual Beport there is just one sentence that I should like to draw your attention to. It says : ' We have had to educate the public, and to do it always with small forces and inadequate means.' . • • .• Now 1 marvel, when I see the small income of this Society, that it manages to accomplish so much. It certainly does a wonderful amount of work with a small amount of money."

The reason why I am on this platform of the London Anti- Vivisection Society is because it is the only one that I know. I know of others, and I have not a single word to say against them, but I know this one. I have known it for the last ten years. I have been in times past nearly and intimately associated with the Executive of the Society. I am not noiv, and for this reason. I think that a public speaker carries more weight, and is more likely to be listened to if he is not ojficially connected with any organisation whatever, if he has no interest in it, and is perfectly free and unfettered when he steps on a platform to say exactly what he thinks on the question with which he is dealing. Now, I say, Mr. Chairman, that this Society — / say nothing at all about other Societies — / say this Society really is doijig good work. I will tell you what the work is. It has a most indefatigable Secretary, and what is more than that, a gentleman with discretion as ii'ell as courage, and therefore this Society in spreading, as it is spreading, leaflets and pamphlets all over the face of the country, both by post and by its van, which was started something like this time last year, or a little later in the year, is doing very good work, because it is rousing public curiosity, which is the first thing you have got to do. All agitations, I do not care what they are, have first to overcome the incurable, almost inveterate, apathy of the great English public.^'' 43 c/5 • r^ o o vo CO o a UJ re UJ o o CO LU (0 c o . c^ " M m ♦ S 3 C N 03 O . u > o Ph < C/} •ft ■13 , C c3 t/T u o ■ O (U -4-> pL. , 0) >~> 12 '-' S.2 Sh • u . c o Pi o ■l-t c o w. ti H : v^ Vh -M c/3 O (U C M 0) *^ M) be <1 C CD M (J c tA u (/) C OT (U u 03 2^0 en C O ' S M "^ ' 03 rC -M ^v- bo c rr-t "-^ ° •TD ^ (J ■ 03 c < 03 C o Q 'd c 03 M "^ >^ J:? o3 ^ +^ oj.t; 03 =i P^hju<: C/3 c/3 c 03 o ^ w .2 — ' 0) be CDhJ '^ «/3 ^ N ro in 00 in 0\ V ON OivO o -i •< * 0) o"^ o 3 • O o > o 13 c« 03 w en w o < o (I] P5 hJ 03 Ph 73 C 03 en a o D Pi en 03 u (U -♦-' 03 H-l 03 3 Q ^ M M O - >^ P 03 -M EC ^ bi) ^ o3 in OJ 44 LEGACIES FOR THE ENDOWMENT OF THE CAUSE. *' All THAT THE Dead Hand Holds Is WHAT THAT HaND HAS GiVEN."

VIEWS OF EXPERTS ON THE POSSIBILITY, OR NON-POSSIBILITY, OF EFFICIENT AND HONEST ADMINISTRATION OF ANESTHETICS TO ANIMALS PREPARED FOR OR UNDERGOING EXPERIMENTATION. The following extracts are taken mainly from the official report of the evidence given before the Royal Commission on Vivisection^ question and answer being set forth. The name of the witness, or writer f is set forth at the commencement of each statement. Dr. LAUDER BRUNTON'S Evidence. Dr. Lauder Brunton, speaking of a very long and painful experiment on the secretion and circulation in the submaxillary gland, states : *' I must say that you cannot do the whole experiment under chloroform, you cannot show it as you would under wourali (curare)." — Evid. Roy. Com, (London, 1876). Q. 5>8ii. Sir GEORGE BURROWS' Evidence. Sir George Burrows, Bart., M.D. : " There are a certain class of experiments which cannot be performed under ansesthetics."— £z^/^. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 162. Prof. RUTHERFORD'S Evidence. " Chloroform was used during the preliminary operation in two cases, but the stimulation of the liver which it induced rendered the experiments worthless. On the other hand, we have abundantly proved that the doses of curara administered in the experi- ments have no influence on the biliary secretion, and do not interfere with the effects of hepatic stimulants. It is therefore an exceedingly valuable auxiliary in a research of this nature." — From the Syllabus of Lectures on Physiology, by Professor Rutherford, M.D., F.R.S., Edinburgh University, 1897. The italics are in the original from which the above quotation is taken. Prof. Rutherford was asked : '* Could not that (experi- ment on the dog's bile duct with drugs) have been performed under anaesthetics ? — It could not have been performed, so far as I know, under any other agency but curare, the object being to keep the animal perfectly still. I do not think 47 chloroform, opium, or ether could have been administered." — Evid. Roy. Com. Q. 2,908 and 2,932. Prof. Rutherford was asked : " What is the rule by which you guide yourself in determining whether animals shall be rendered insensible to pain or not ? When the mode of rendering them insensible to pain would interfere with the due result being obtained from the experiment, we do not so render them. — Is that any large proportion of the experiment ? I should say a considerable proportion. — Would it be more than half the experiments ? I should have a difficulty in saying how many, but I should think about half the experiments that I have done." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 2,841-3. Sir WILLIAM PERGUSSON'S Evidence. Sir WiLLL\M Fergusson, Bart., F.R.S. : " I have very strong ideas with reference to these experiments performed under anaesthesia, as being far less valuable. I do not go in with that view, which is very prevalent, that these experiments may now be permitted because we have got anaesthesia to prevent the pain. The experiment is not of the smallest value during its performance. You cannot make a perfect experi- ment on the animal until it is in its normal condition." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 1,077. Sir MICHAEL FOSTER'S Evidence. Prof. Michael Foster, M.D. : '* This can only be shown)in the higher animals, the cat or dog being best adapted for the purpose. The method adopted is this, the arches of one of two vertebrae are carefully sawn through, or cut through with the bone forceps, and the exposed roots very carefully freed from the connective tissue surrounding them. If the animals be strong, and have thoroughly recovered from the chloroform, and from the operation, irritation of the peripheral stump of the anterior root causes not only contraction in the muscles supplied by the nerve, but also movements in other parts of the body, indicative of pain or of sensations. On dividing the mixed trunk . . . the contractions . . . cease, but the general signs of pain or sensation still remain." — Handbook of the rhysiological Laboratory (London, 1873), p. 403. Dr. GIMSON'S Evidence. Dr. W. GiMSON GiMSON : *' If sensation is deadened or suspended by the use of anaesthetics, from the moment that the anaesthetic agent enters the system, the whole organisation is removed from its normal condition ; the data recorded during such a state cannot be deemed reliable, and must lead to 48 fallacies in building up any theory, nor is it fair or truthful to hold up anaesthetics as a gilded bait to lure on the unwary. To many the mention of chloroform ether, et alia, conveys the idea of abolition of suffering, but ask the multitude, and evidence v^ill at once be forthcoming that these blessings are not unmitigated boons, nay, that they are up to certain points extreme torture, and any one who has administered chloroform frequently to dogs must have seen this latter statement borne out with reference to them." — Vivisection and Painful Experiments on Living Animals ; their U njustifiahility (London, 1879), p. 61. Dr. W. GiMSON GiMSON : " The modern history of anaesthetics dates back to the end of last century, when the discoveries of Priestley, Black and Cavendish, created a new era in the chemical world, and gave rise to a new branch of therapeutics, called pneumatic medicine, whose votaries hopea to cure diseases, and especially consumption, by the inhala- tions of various kinds of gases. In following out this theory, Humphry, afterwards Sir Humphry Davy, was, about 1800, led to the conclusion that nitrous oxide (laughing gas) appeared capable of destroying physical pain, so it might probably be used with advantage during surgical operations. This conclusion was arrived at by experiments upon himself and not upon animals. Not until the year 1844 was the use of this anaesthetic established, when a dentist, Horace Wells, acting upon Davy's suggestion, inhaled the nitrous oxide himself before one of his teeth was extracted, with the effect of producing a complete unconsciousness of pain ; he also administered it to several patients with the same beneficial results." — Vivisections and Painful Experiments on Living Animals, (London, 1879), pp. 126-7. Dr. GEORGE HOGGAN'S Evidence. Dr. HoGGAN was asked : " Now you have expressed in letters that have appeared in the public press, the opinion that anaesthetics, on the whole, have been rather curses than benefits to animals ? I have. — Will you give me the grounds of that opinion as briefly as you can ? Principally because, as I have explained in those letters (which I have put in before the Commission), the public have generally supposed that anaesthetics were used, and they did not feel called upon to make any demonstration to save animals from pain, and while the animals were suffering pain all the time the public really thought that nothing of the kind was going on, and consequently anaesthetics had served more to lull the pubhc than the animals. Those were nearly my words. And the reasons given why anaesthetics were not so much used as they were supposed to be, were first, that anaesthetics if given to animals in many cases bring about a fatal result before the experiment can be concluded, if given thoroughly, that is, to ^ 49 say ; in the second place, that anaesthetics cannot very well be given unless a special assistant is there for the purpose ; and that these two things together cause so much annoyance to the experimenter that he does not take the trouble of thoroughly anaesthetising the animals. This leaves out of sight that great class of experiments where anaesthetics would interfere with the true result of the experiment ; and these are very numerous."— £z;/^. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 4,107-8. *' The incalculable advantages which mankind has derived from chloroform as a means of destroying the sense of pain have remained a dead letter as regards the lower animals, in consequence of the very unsatisfactory state of our know- ledge of the line which separates insensibility from death, especially in some of those classes of animals which are most generally employed as the subjects of physiological experi- mentation. Many of these die apparently before they can become insensible through chloroform, some of them, indeed, as soon as it has been administered. The practical conse- quence of this uncertainty is, that complete and conscientious anaesthesia is seldom even attempted, the animal getting at most a slight whiff of chloroform, by way of' satisfying the conscience of the operator, or of enabling him to make state- ments of a humane character." — Letter in ''The Spectator,'' May 2gth, 1875. " We fearlessly affirm that none of the following classes of experi- ments (each including innumerable operations, many of which involve extreme torture) can be performed under complete and genuine anaesthesia : — " I. Those experiments which are concerned with the reflex action from the sensory nerves. "2. Those which are connected with the glandular secretions, the liver, etc. *' 3. Those on the digestion. "4. Those on the heart and circulation. " 5. Toxicological experiments (poisons). "6. All pathological experiments (consisting in, the artificial introduction of disease)."— " Anaesthetics and Vivisection," The Zoophilist, May, 1885. Dr. EMMANUEL KLEIN'S Evidence. Dr. Klein was asked : " I suppose with rabbits you would not use chloroform ? I use chloral hydrate ; but, as a general rule, for my scientific investigations, I do not use chloroform, or any other anaesthetic, except for convenience 50 sake, in dogs and cats, and for no other animals as a general rule. There may be exceptions, perhaps ; but as a general rule, I think I am safe in saying I do not use it. — You gave it as your opinion, that your views on the subject, although not shared by the British public generally, were the views of the British physiologists ? I would not say that distinctly, but I know a few of them, and 1 think that is the view held by them." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 3,605-6. Dr. ROBERT McDONNELL'S Evidence. The late Dr. McDonnell stated: "In this particular class of cases the experiments are on sensation (nerves) ; the pain could not be avoided, therefore in that particular class of cases. — Are there any of those which you have practised yourself in which there has been prolonged pain ? No, not prolonged pain, but unavoidable pain. I have repeated, at the time that they were quite new and suh jtidice, the researches of Dr. Brown-Sequard upon the spinal cord of animals. In those cases I believe it is unavoidable to have suffering." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 4,487-8. Sir THOMAS WATSON'S Evidence. Sir Thomas Watson (Physician to the Queen) was questioned by Lord Winmarleigh, who asked: "We may presume that in those experiments (Sir C. Bell's, on the nerves) the use of anaesthetics is quite useless, that it would be of no effect? They would- defeat the object of the experiment." Q. 49.— Sir John Karslake asked vSir Thomas Watson : "I wished to ask you whether any other cases sucfgest themselves to you than those which you have last described in which the use of anaesthetics- would frustrate the object of the experiment ? .... I should think that the use of anaesthetics might vitiate the results of any trials of poisons upon animals." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 54-5. Prof SCHAFER'S Evidence. Prof. ScHAFER was asked : "Then may I take it there are a great number of experiments which, supposing frogs to be a sensitive animal, must cause a vast deal of pain, which are not done under chloroform ? There is no doubt of it. — And there is no precaution taken to diminish pain, if it suffers pain ? I think I may say no special precaution." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1878). Q. 3,801-2. 51 Prof. PRITCHARD'S Evidence. Prof. Pritchard, M.R.C.V.S., was asked: "Does your experience extend to dogs ? Yes. — What is your opinion about the sort of questions which I have put to you when applied, not to horses, but to dogs ? With regard to dogs, I should never think of applying chloroform at all ; I should think it very unsafe to do so. The dog has an intermittent pulsation ; the heart's action is intermittent." " Lord Winmarleigh : Invariably ? — Invariably. They appear for some time not to be under the influence of it at all, and then suddenly they come under the influence of it, and we find it impossible to bring them round. — Does any cruelty attach to the death under these circumstances ? — I should say not ; it is an awkward thing for the operator and for the owner. " Mr. FoRSTER : With regard to cats, what should you say as to the use of chloroform ? — I have never administered it to cats ; I do not think there would be the same risk. " Chairman : Supposing you had a painful operation to perform on a cat, you would use anaesthetics ? — I think so. "Chairman: Do I rightly understand you to say that the circulation of the dog being intermittent, there is much more danger that the animal would never revive than there would be in the human being? — Quite so." — Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 796-803. Prof. GEORGE ROLLESTON. The late Prof. George Rolleston, M.D. : "It is not so easy a thing to know when you have an animal thoroughly anaesthetised ; and what is more, some animals recover with much greater rapidity than others of the same species from the same doses of anaesthetics. . . . the whole question of anaesthetising animals has an element of uncertainty about it." — Evid, Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 1,349-50. Dr. DE NOE WALKER. The late Dr. de Noe Walker: "When an experimenter says, for example, as it is said in a very recent publication, that * before and throughout these experiments anaesthetics were used,' it is perfectly true ; but if by that you choose to understand that while the animal lived and was experimented 52 on he was throughout insensible, it is the greatest delusion that ever wa.s."—Evid. Roy. Com. (London, 1876). Q. 1,810. (As for instance, in Mr. Horsley's experiments for the Hydrophobia Committee, in a footnote of his report (Appendix A of Report) he says :—*' All the experiments performed in this inquiry were thus " (alluding to the giving of chloroform) '*made painless." Here Mr. Horsley should have said operations not experiments ; for while the animal had chloroform for the operative portion of the experiment, it suffered the disease of rabies, unrelieved, of course, by any anaesthetics.— Stanford Harris, M.R.C.S. Br. BOREL'S View. "Permit a vivisector, past and present, and future if it were necessary for the good of science and mankind, to tell those good people who believe seriously that the animals experimented upon by M. Pasteur do not suffer, that they are deceiving themselves. My personal experience of fifteen years' practice gives me the right formally to deny the truth of that. I have vivisected birds, horses, frogs, rabbits, monkeys, and above all dogs; and I can affirm three things : "(i) That it is nearly completely impossible to employ anaesthetics upon them so as to render them insensible, as for example— ether, chloroform, chloral, opium (morphine codeine), canabis indica (haschich), etc. • " (2) That the sufferings of the animals are so great after the experiments that they are altogether stupefied ; the most ferocious dogs allow themselves to be used, later on, with the indifference of sheep : one must not absolutely confound their tranquillity with the relief given to a man after a necessary surgical operation, but as the apathy and indifference of a martyr. I have experimented on mad dogs ; the second time I placed them on the table they were as gentle as rabbits. For the rest, it may be said in passmg, mad dogs are already so ill that in general they are very gentle. "(3) The employment of curare far from diminishing sensibility augments it exceedingly ; more than that the use of it necessitates tracheotomy beforehand to make them respire artificially, because the curare totally paralyzes all voluntary movements, and thus they would otherwise suffocate." *' Any one who is accustomed to a laboratory, to physiology, or to pathological experiments, knows that the animals suffer when vivisected, and greatly, until death comes to deliver them."— From a letter in the Pall Mall Gazette, London, August 5th, 1899. 53 Note.— Because a vivisector, or his apologist, says—'' the experiment was performed under ancesthetics,"— or— "in a cases the animals were anaesthetised "—it does not at all tollow that the animal was completely insensible to pam, or that throus^hojit the whole experiment the animal was profoundly under the influence of chloroform or ether. Read carefully the views of Dr. Hoggan (pp 34-5). who was an expert and had had wide experience GEORGE WILSON, M.D., LL.D. Edin., F.R.S.E., D.P.H. Cambridge. ''There are not a few who doubt whether all the agonies inHicted on animals sacrificed in the laboratories of Con- tinental workers in bacteriological research, or even those at home .... have saved one single human life, or lessened in any appreciable degree the load of human suffer in in accomplishing this, justified its existence ?

" / believe that the urgent protest against Vivisection which marks our immediate day, and the whole plea for lesse7mig the miseries of animals as endured at the hands of man, constitute the next great moral question which is to be put to the intelligent conscience, and that only the educated conscience can properly reply to it,'' — From an article by Elizabeth Stuart Phelps in McClure's Magazine, November, 1896. The London Anti-Vivisection Society's policy from its institution in 1876, has been one of total prohibition. That is to say, the only demand of the Society is that the practice of vivisection be prohibited by law, it being impossible under any Act of Parliament which the wit of man can devise to safeguard the animals from cruelty. Any attempt to amend the Vivisection Act of 1876, under which Parliament attempted to restrict and regulate the practice, must inevitably fail as that has failed. The provision of extra inspectors could only result in endowing the practice by creating a vested interest in it, with the added drawback that the inspectors are invariably drawn from the ranks of the vivisectors, or of sympathisers with vivisection. The prohibition of vivi- section can only be obtained by constantly pressing for it, and any compromise in the direction of further restriction or relinquishing the demand for total prohibition, or putting it in the background, which can always be pleaded on very specious grounds, amounts to a recognition of the moral lawfulness of the practice, a recognition which the London Anti-Vivisection Society never has conceded and never will concede. This policy has been approved by and has had the support of the late Earl Shaftesbury, Lord Chief Justice Coleridge, Prof. Freeman, Lord Brampton, Sir Arthur Arnold, Hon. P. Carteret Hill (Premier of Nova Scotia), General Phelps, Prebendary Webb-Peploe, and Dr. Hadwen. ULTIMATE POLICY.— The enforcement of an Act of Parliament prohibiting Vivisection. Prof. FREEMAN (the eminent Historian), WROTE : •' The practical conclusion that I come to is that if the distinction can be drawn in practice between what I hold to be lawful and unlawful vivisection, I would allow one and forbid the other. But I see the very great difficulty in drawing the line between the two ; and if it cannot be drawn in practice, especially as it seems so very doubtful whether vivisection has lessened human suffering or not, I can only go in for a complete forbidding of the practice." — Letter to The Times.
