Vivisection
“The experiments were performed at University College, in the presence of
my colleagues, Professors Sharpey, Ellis, and Williamson.… A large dog
was bitten by one of the snakes over the right eye.… In three minutes
the dog became very restless, and gave a low whine as if of pain. After
moving about the room for ten minutes searching for a comfortable place
to lie down on, he placed himself in the coolest part of the chamber, and
laid his head on the cold stones, as if to relieve headache. He moaned
as if in distress.… As the effects of the poison passed away, the pulse
gradually recovered.… The serpent was once more allowed to bite him. The
same train of symptoms again appeared, but in a more intense degree, and
within twenty-five minutes he had become insensible.… Half an hour after
being bitten the second time, convulsive twitchings began to appear in
the fore limbs and muscles of the neck. In ten minutes more the whole
body became convulsed. The limbs were stretched out and the head jerked
backwards.… In two hours and a quarter the animal appeared to be dead,
but on making an incision into the thorax, he gave a gasp. After waiting
some time without observing any further sign of life, another incision
was made, when he again gasped, but only once.”--“_On the influence of
physical and chemical agents upon the blood_,” _Trans. Roy. Soc._, Vol.
