    AND VIVISECTION. LONDON, 1902. In this list hospitals that have vivisectors on their staffs and have attached to them Medical Schools licensed for vivisection are printed in red ink. Hospitals that employ, or have connected with them, licensed vivisectors, but have no Medical Schools licensed for vivisection attached to them, are printed in italics. Hospitals that are now entirely free from any connexion with vivisection are printed in ordinary type. Intending benefactors can therefore see at a glance what hospitals foster, and what hospitals are free from, vivisection. Those who approve of their contributions towards the relief of the sick being in part diverted to the support of schools licensed for vivisection will find such hospitals specifically indicated in the column headed “ Eemarks.” And others who prefer that their subscriptions should not be spent in anything but the relief of the* sick will find many excellent institutions enumerated in this list which make no such diversions and which are wholly unconnected with the practice of vivisection. The list has been compiled from the London portion of the Medical Directories, and from the Parliamentary returns of Inspectors under the Act 39 and 40 Victoria, cap. 77.§ It has been corrected by the latest issues of these publications. For the purpose of securing absolute accuracy, this publication has been submitted for correction to the managers of each hospital mentioned before going to press.
