A Failure of Science

Lydia L. A. Very

Salem Observer

As we cannot learn the mechanism of a watch by taking a telescope to pieces, so these vivisectors say, as we have learned nothing by vivisecting animals, we must have human beings to vivisect!

So with unparalleled boldness, they have endeavored to get a law passed in the Ohio Legislature to have murderers given up to them to vivisect! and to have no one but vivisectors present at the scene of torture! Medical journals publish facts showing that in hospitals and almshouses, poor, sick patients have been experimented on in a cruel manner without pity.

Colonel Roosevelt said, "In this last war surgeons operating on wounded soldiers showed no pity for their sufferings." This is only one of the effects of animal vivisection, it destroys that God-like pity and sympathy for suffering. Doctors should have muscles and nerves of steel, but—they should also have a heart.
