Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Memorial of the Association of American Physicians
It would require a volume to set forth adequately the results, beneficial to mankind and to animals, of knowledge derived from experiments on animals. The assertion of many opponents of vivisection, that knowledge obtained from animal experimentation and which could be obtained in no other way has been of little or no benefit to man kind, can be referred only to ignorance or to wilful mis representation. Never was there a time in which experimental medicine gave promise of results so important for the welfare of mankind as those which we may reasonably expect in the near future, and never was there so little justification as at present to hamper in any way the work of those engaged in searching by the experimental method for means of preventing and curing disease.
