ARTHUR W. WEYSSE 



PROFESSOR OF PHYSIOLOGY, BOSTON UNIVERSITY 

 SCHOOL OF MEDICINE 



MY DEAR DR. ERNST, Your favor of the 22d inst. 

 received. In brief, my statement to the committee on the 

 anti-vivisection bills was as follows. I objected to the bills 

 because they were unnecessary, first, since I regarded 

 the present laws sufficient; and second, because, as others 

 had shown, and as I showed for the Boston University 

 School of Medicine, no such practices of cruelty to animals 

 existed as the petitioners alleged. I further objected to 

 the bills as a scientist, because they would hamper the 

 investigator by needless restrictions, so as to make most 

 investigations on living animals impossible. 



Very truly yours, 



ARTHUR W. WEYSSE, PH.D.
