VIVISECTION.

A PROFESSOR’S DEFENCE. Professor E. H. Starling, per* haps the most famous member of the vivisection school, was under examination in London recently in connection with a claim tor damages brought against a newspaper by Miss Lind, of Hageby, who had been accused of conducting an anti-vivisection campaign by dishonest methods. The professor said that he seldom inflicted any pain at all on an animal, and never operated without previously applying an anaesthetic. He insisted strongly that the use of animals for experimental purposes had been justified a hundredfold by obtaining information which made possible the alleviation of human suffering. The experimenters had found means of effectively treating diphtheria and Malta fever, for example, and he himself was now studying diabetes. He caused no unnecessary pain to his “victims,” which usually were dog?. M Do you shoot ?” asked counsel. “IJo, I dpp’t shoot,” replied the professor. “I regard shooting for sport as rather a useless destruction of life. We have responsibilities to all the animal life in our environment.”
