Large-hearted men like Dr.Flexner and his associates do not permit unnecessary pain to defenceless animals.
I have been deeply interested in the story of a desperate experiment to save a child's life, told in a letter written by one of my associates soon after the event described; and it seems worthy of repeating.

Dr.Alexis Carrel has been associated with Dr.Flexner and his work, and his wonderful skill has been the result of his experiments and experiences.
A WONDERFUL SURGICAL OPERATION "Dr.Alexis Carrel, one of the Institute's staff, has been making some interesting studies in experimental surgery, and has successfully transplanted organs from one animal to another, and blood vessels from one species to another.

He had the opportunity recently of applying the skill thus acquired to the saving of a human life under circumstances which attracted great interest among the medical fraternity of this city.

One of the best known of the younger surgeons in New York had a child born early last March, which developed a disease in which the blood, for some reason, exudes from the blood vessels into the tissues of the body, and ordinarily the child dies of this internal hemorrhage.

When this child was five days old it was evident that it was dying.
