Vivisection
“I prepared in a large gutta percha balloon a mixture of 100 litres of
air and 255 cubic centimetres of pure oxide of carbon, which made 1/392
of poisonous gas; I then opened the jugular vein in a dog of 9 kilos.,
and with a long india-rubber catheter introduced into the vena cava
inferior, drew out 30 centimetres of blood, put it into a flask and
defibrinised it by agitating it a few minutes. The animal’s head was then
placed in a gutta percha muzzle communicating with the top of the balloon
containing the oxide of carbon, and the animal was allowed to breathe
into it for half-an-hour. During the last two minutes a second quantity
of blood was taken from the vena cava and defibrinised; then the animal
was allowed to breathe in the air, and half-an-hour later a third sample
of blood was taken.…”--_On the absorption of Oxide of Carbon_ (Note

“After the experiments of Vulpian showing that the saliva of a healthy
man has a poisonous effect on rabbits, it was necessary to seek for an
explanation of this unforeseen result. Therefore, the author of this
essay determined to make a series of experiments to explain the malady
which is produced in rabbits by the subcutaneous injection of human
saliva.”--_Arch. ital. de Biol._, Vol. II., Part I., p. 106.

Made experiments on dogs and rabbits in the Physiological Institute at
Breslau.
“Exp. II. Dog not curarised: spinal marrow cut through at the beginning
of the operation; also the vagi severed, nitrate of soda injected.
“Exp. III. Dog strongly curarised, and the medulla stimulated repeatedly
by galvanic currents. Injections of nitrate of soda.
“Exp. VII. Dog curarised; nerves of the left kidney torn through, medulla
subjected to electric stimulation. The vagi cut through.
“Exp. XI. Dog curarised; nerves of the left kidney torn through,
digitalis and strychnine injected. Result cramps.”--Pflüger’s _Archiv._
