by himself in the matter. Professor Rutherford is attacked. Professor Rutherford has no plausible answer to make, so delegates his defence to Professor Yeo. Professor Yeo dashes boldly to the rescue with a string of daring assertions— which are promptly shown to be false. So Professor Yeo in his extremity shelters himself under the wing of Professor Curnow. If our memory serves us Mr. Curnow will find, in the very article to which his letter refers, mention of a little game, of a strictly analogous character, formerly much in vogue on our race-courses and played with three thimbles and a pea. It is not a game in which, if we may judge from his letter, Professor Curnow would be likely to take any part but one. Which is a part that may, without reproach, be taken once by the wisest of us. Not twice." In which dictum Professor Curnow would seem now to concur. APPENDIX C. PHYSIOLOGISTS. IN PARALLEL COLUMNS. SIR JAMES PAGET. "NINETEENTH CENTURY." December, 1881. "The whole value of experiments on animals, therefore, cannot be estimated by a few examples; it may be made evident in them, and they may indicate how it stands alone in the utility of saving life; but no one can measure it who is not able to analyse the whole progress of medical knowledge during at least the last century. "A clear instance of its utility may be found in the tying of arteries whether for the cure of aneurism or for the stoppage of bleeding." HUNTERIAN ORATION AT THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SUR- "For one great instance: it was by thus bringing the force of the scientific mind and method to bear on the facts of practical surgery, that Hunter achieved his great invention that of curing aneurism by tying the artery far above the diseased part. This was not the result of any laborious physiological induction : it was mainly derived from facts very cautiously observed in the wards and dead-house." PROFESSOR FERRIER, F.R.S. ROYAL COMMISSION, 1875. QUESTION 3,256.-Is the number of persons who do ROYAL COMMISSION, 1875. QUESTION 3,326.-Would you object to places being PROFESSOR GERALD YEO. "FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW." March 1st, 1882, p. 360-1. 66 Surely those who are so happy in detecting in foreign languages the revolting descriptions of pain-giving experiments have not failed to search carefully into the writings of English physiologists in order to find out their method of work? Why repeat the oft-told tale of horrors contained in the works of Claude Bernard, Paul Bert, Brown-Séquard, and Richet in France, of Goltz in Germany, Mantegazza in Italy, and Flint in America?' "CONTEMPORARY REVIEW." May 1st, 1882, p. 897. "I did not admit that the physiologists abroad are cruel, nor did I in the least intend to indorse the truth of the stories which I mentioned as having been so oft-told by Miss Cobbe. It never would have occurred to my mind to accuse the gentlemen named of anything like cruelty."
