6 MI' ROBES AND HEALTH.

 which are repellant alike to science and humanity. It 

 is publicly stated that some of our philanthropists are 

 to build an immense institute for medical research. (?) 

 We are told that the proposed institution is to be

 Niagara of blood. We believe that trusts, boards of
