INSULIN
[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] SIR, In your number for March 7th you very truly remark, that " even now " many patients are not getting the advantages of a treatment (i.e., insulin treatment) " which unquestionably prolongs life." One reason for this probably is because the anti-vivisectionists have set themselves furiously to deny the advantages of insulin, which, as everyone knows, is a product of what is called vivisection. The Anti-Vivisection Journal for December last stated : " We read that Dr. Banting, who has received so much credit for his discovery of that lamentable failure, insulin, has received an honour."
