Abstract
THE address delivered by Lord Lister at Liverpool on October 8, on the occasion of the opening of the Thompson-Yates Laboratories at the University College in that city, was briefly referred to in our report of the ceremony last week. The complete address is printed in the British Medical Journal of October 15, and is reproduced below. It is a statement as to the nature and value of the work to be carried on in the new laboratories, and a dignified vindication of the experimental method in medicine. The facts concerning experiments upon animals are so often presented to the public in a distorted form, that a calm exposition of the true ethical policy of vivisection, such as Lord Lister gives in his address, should have a most beneficial effect.
