...BOSTON SOCIETY OF MEDICAL SCIENCES. "The Standpoint of the Physiologist." Professor Ernest H. Starling, of University College, London. Pathological Laboratory, Harvard Medical School, Boston, 8.15 P. M. Open to members of the University and the medical profession...
...spiritual laws. Religion is not by any means the same thing as theology. The one is the science of the study of God's nature, while the other is the art of obeying His laws and doing His work. A theologian is not necessarily religious, any more than a physiologist must necessarilly have a fine physique...

He takes every precaution to kill his victim with the least pain. Indeed, so painless are his methods that the death of an animal so killed is much pleasanter than that of the animal exposed to the vicissitudes of nature...
...went on to describe the workings and various departments of the laboratory of the practical physiologist. 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...
