The methods by which pain in their experiments was reduced to the minimum was set forth, also the gains made to medical science. Our knowledge of the circulation of the blood and many other of the foundation stones of medical learning are due to the practice of vivisection. It is humanitarian, for by the sacrifice of the lower animals almost without pain the greatest benefits for the human race are obtained...
