Challenging the necessity for and the value of operations performed on ani- mals in'medical laboratorles, leading opponents of vivisection hoth in Washington and throughout the coun- try crowded the Senate District com mittee room yesterday to support the i Rev. Charles Krnest Smith, pastor of St. Thomas' Episcopal Church; Charles Edward Russell, and John 8. Codman of Boston; pleaded for favorable action on the bill. Before the testimony began Sen- ator Fletcher put into the record peti- tions bearing thousands of names from all sections of the United States urg- ing passage of the bill. Senator Fletcher said he had received a few protests, which he also placed in the record. Declaring the movement to end vivisection has grown rapidly in re- cent yerrs, Dr. Smith said: “It Is my firm conviction that vivisection is use- WASHINGTON, D. the writer, ! less, and has never accomplished any- thing of value for the human race.” Dr. Smith said that even granting for the sake of argument that ex- periment on dogs does accomplish something, which he was not actually willing to admit, the cost in suffering 10 the animal would still be out of all proportion to the good accomplished. Dr. Smith asserted that the ques- tion before the committee is a moral and spiritual one ‘“with which our medical friends have nothing to do.” Mr. Russell Testifies. Mr. Russell. in his testimony, quoted the medical profession to show what they have accomplished by vivisection. “Since vivisection has heen prac- ticed for many vears.” said Mr. Rus- sell, “there should by this time be some noticeable, targible result of benefit to the human race. Take rheumatism, for example, one of the most common aflments. After all the dogs we have operated on, there ought C, WEDNESDAY, MAY 5, 1926.° to be some cbmmon remedy that the poor rheumatic could get at the cor- ner drug store that would cure his trouble. What does the layman gain from all of this vivisection? TLet us see some of the wisdom that comes from these operations.” Mr. Codman deslt at some length with' the rules and regulations which he sald prevall in vivisection labora- torles. These rules,’ he explained, re- quire care for the animal and the use ol anesthetic, except where the use of anesthesia would defeat the object of the experiment. He contended that the trouble lies in this exception, ex- pressing the belief that exceptions to the rule were very frequent. ey Capt. E. §. Pegrim to Leave. Capt. Edward 8.
