Vivisection
“As he says substantially in his published report on the subject of
canine madness, which he read before a meeting of the Academy of Sciences
on May 19, the first experiments he has made give him almost certain hope
of success. But, notwithstanding his sanguine views as to the finally
favourable results of his investigations, and their unqualified benefit
to mankind, he has to ‘multiply the proofs _ad infinitum_ on different
species of the brute creation.’ When this shall have been done he will
then try the remedy on man.”--_Report of a Conversation with M. Pasteur_,
“_Daily Telegraph_,” June 6, 1884.

“Has always illustrated his lectures by experiments (2108); but believes
he was the first physiological lecturer in London who did so (2033).…
For purposes of experiment uses dogs, rabbits, guinea-pigs, and frogs
(2089-90); which are bought in the ordinary way at Leadenhall Market
(2101-4); during the season about 20 dogs and 10 rabbits are used
(2096).”--_Digest Ev. Roy. Com._, p. 19.
“Through an opening in the stomach of a dog, Bernard introduced, while
digestion was going on, the hind legs of a living frog. The legs were
dissolved away, the animal continuing all the while alive.… I have
repeated this experiment myself, and obtained a similar result.”… “I
performed an experiment, substituting the ear of a rabbit for the legs
of a frog.…. At the end of two hours the ear was withdrawn, and several
spots of erosion were observed on its surface, but nowhere was it eaten
through. On being replaced for another two-and-a-half hours, the tip
to the extent of about half or three-quarters of an inch was almost
completely removed, a small remnant of it only being left attached by a
narrow shred to the remainder of the ear.”--_Lancet_, No. 2,070.
