On Friday evening, Professor Arthur GAMGEE delivered a lecture on the methods of physiological inquiry with special reference to the question of vivisection, in which he said his object was to bring before the meeting & few of the results of modern physiological inquiry, so that some insight might be gained into the methods which had served as a basis, and which were now more and more serving to extend physiological science. Не should discuss somewhat briefly a question which had agitated the public mind-the expediency and rightfulness of one of the most important means of physiological research. There were different methods by which physiologists carried on their investigations, and he proceeded to dwell especially upon the method of actual experiments upon the living animal. It was sometimes asked by sceptics what experiments upon living animals had done to advance physiological knowledge. The answer which the truthful man must give to such a question was that there was no department of physiology, however limited, in which by far the most important evidence which had been obtained had not been furnished by experimen s performed upon living animals. That did not by any mesi 8 nean experiments on animal suffering. There were many experiments which might be performed upon the living tissues of an animal when that animal had died; for, strange though it might appear to those present, the death of the various tissres of the body did not necessarily coincide with the death of the body. In many animals the phenomena of the action of the muscles as in life was found for a long time after the death of the body in the various tissues, and many of the most interesting physiological observations had beeu made and were still made upon the tissues of an animal recently killed. Having illustrated by a number of interesting experiments the action of muscles and tissues of animals atter death, and exhibited a number of other physiological phenomena, Professor Gamgee, in conclusion, said he would take it for granted, after his exposition of a few of the discoveries which had been made by modern hysiologists, that his hearers would willingly admit that hey were possessed of great interest. Some no doubt would feel inclined to ask at what cost of animal life and suffering those results had been obtained, and some would urge that the discovery of a scientific fact at the expense of animal suffering was not to be justified because inconsistent with the highest morality; and not a few, taking up a more moderate position, would assert that the performance of those experiments only was justifiable of which the immediate results were to alleviate pain or prolong the life of man. As a scientific man, and not merely a physiologist, he naturally affirmed that the discovery of the truth and the secrets of animal organism was a very high object, worthy of pursuit, and absolutely needful to man in connection with those philosophical studies which had always been considered to afford the greatest play for the human faculties. If increased energy and the store of health laid up, as it were, for future use, and afterwards to be employed by hard-worked men for the public good, justified the fear, pain, and it might be lingering death agony of the hunted fox or wounded bird, surely we should be inconsistent if we denied the right of man to employ with thoughtfulness and consciousness the bodies of animals for the purpose of acquiring new truths which the experiments of the past had abundantly shown were certain sooner or later to prove of actual service to suffering humanity. In point of fact, the pursuit of physiology was not necessarily associated with the infliction of pain. Actually there were few experiments which could not be performed under circumstances of insensibility to pain, and these few were in the sight of most men at any rate, justified by the knowledge which they imparted to man. He believed that as yet we could form but the most imperfect estimate of the services which medicine was destined to render. National medicine must be not only interwoven with, but actually based upon a perfectly accurate knowledge of physiology, and for that reason he would argue very strongly in favour of a continuance of that method of investigation by competent scientific men which had already yielded such good fruits. Those who had tried to influence the popular mind by the recitation of the horrors of vivisection had led to the impres sion that experiments were frequently performed by large numbers of persons on iving animals; but as one convinced of its uti ity he regretted to say that unfortunately very few persons had within recent times devoted themselves to the study of experimental physiology in England. A reaction had, however, fortunately set in. Neither he nor any other physiologist would perform a painful experiment from any but the most conscientious motives, and he would have the law step in to prevent many of the cruelties, or, at any rate, hardships, which dumb creatures destined for our service were made to undergo; and he would also place restrictions upon experiments upon animals which should prevent their being made by any but competent persons, and for other than the highest motives: At the same time he would make an appeal that, for the sake of suffering humanity, no hindrance should be placed in the way of those who devoted themselves to the discovery of scientific truth. He was convinced that the report of the Commission on Vivisection, before which he was examined a few days ago, would be of a nature to thoroughly abolish all those fears and apprehensions which had arisen in the public mind, and the Commissioners would show that the statements which had been made could not be borne out by fact, He believed that his continental brethren had been greatly maligned with regard to their investigations in experimental. physiology. ROOT The roots were of coarse grown from seed supplied by the firm holding the show. Notwithstanding the recent attack on prize roots by Dr. Voelcker at the Farmers' Club, the entries were very strong at most of these meetings, where it is to be hoped mere size will for the future be put aside, and the judges' awards depend altogether upon quality and properties really of value to the farmer. These gatherings afford an agreeable opening for an interchange of compliments between the great seed merchants and their customers; but to give point to such displays, there should be a Champion Root Show, held say in London, under the direction of the S.nithfield Club, when the different firms should in each class be confined to a couple of their previous prize entries, and the judges not have acted at any other show during the season.
