    Austin Flint, M.D., President of the New ITork Academy of Medicine ; Professor of the Principles and Practice of Medicine and Clinical Medicine in the Bellevue Hospital Medical College, New York. u Any one who is conversant with the great advances in knowledge of physiology, during the last half century, must be aware that they have been made chiefly through the agency of vivisections and other methods of experimen- tation on living animals. Our knowledge of diseases is always enlarged by advances in physiology; and, moreover, experimentation with direct reference to pathology has already been of much practical value. We must look to this province of investigation for further information, in addition to that already ac- quired, concerning the causes of disease and the physiological effects of remedies. Austin Flint, M.D. New York, November 9, 1874.
