[TO THE EDITOR OF THE "SPECTATOR."]

happen to have two of the "Annual Announcements" of the American Dental College on my table, and I find on p. 11 of the New York "Announcement" that "Physiology will be comprehensively treated, and many of the functions of the organ- ism will be elucidated by experiments upon living animals." The programme of the Philadelphia College, p. 8, says, "Vivisections on the lower animals will be performed, so as to demonstrate the functions of the different organs."

Would these facts be useful to Mr. E. Hart as materials for any future "foul calumnies "?—I am, Sir, &c., THOMAS A. Rooxits.
