Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An Answer to Dr. Keen's Address Entitled Our Recent Debts to Vivisection
Dr. Keen begins with stating the axiom that medicine must either grow worse, stand still, or grow better, and that as we all naturally desire it to grow better we must perform experiments upon some liv ing body; that in many cases these experiments involve great risk to life or health, and that as here they can not and must not be tested first upon man, the only alternative we have is to try them upon the lower animals; and that we should be most unwise, nay.
