Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Conquest of Disease Through Animal Experimentation
This book is intended to give some information upon one of these branches of scientific work: namely, animal experimentation. It is based upon addresses on this subject given by the author before the New York Academy of Medicine, the Medical Society of the County of Kings, and the Brooklyn Institute of Arts and Sciences. These have been amplified and made into a little book, with the hope that it may be of service in correcting some misconceptions, and that it may elucidate in a measure one of the most important and fruitful fields of scientific effort.
In referring to certain experiments, the names of a few investigators are given. No attempt is made to mention all of the workers in any specific field. Names are given to serve as tangible links to connect the subject under investigation with the published reports. They must be regarded simply as illustrative, for in many instances the original authority is not given, but some later investigator is cited as serving better for illustrative purposes.
