EXPERIMENTS ON ANIMALS 



STEPHEN PAGET 



Author of ' John Hunter' ('Masters of Medicine'}, Etc. 



WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY LORD LISTER 



Illustrated. Crown 8vo, Cloth, 6s. 



This book is a short account of the chief results that have been obtained, by 

 the help of experiments on animals, in physiology, pathology, bacteriology, and 

 therapeutics. It also gives a reprint of the Act, and of various official statements 

 as to its administration. It neither gives a history of all experiments on animals, 

 nor defends everything that was done in the past, nor isolates the experimental 

 method from other ways of advancing the science and art of medicine. It does 

 not touch ethics, it avoids controversy, and it is concerned not with any experi- 

 ments that failed, but only with those that were successful. Its single purpose is 

 to show what has been gained by this method, and what conditions are imposed 

 on it by law in the United Kingdom. The book may be useful both to medical 

 men and to all who desire assurance that experiments on animals are justified by 

 the results that have come of them.
