AS SUBJECT.
A distinguished young physiolo- gist, who was vivisected instead of a deg, was mentioned recently by Lord Haldano,, in the House of Lords during a debate on expert ments on animals.
The physiologiet had recently told Lord Haldane "There is an experl- mont which has to be made and should be made on a dog, and it cannot possibly be made under on anæathetic. There is only one way for it, and I have come up to be vivisected.".

Severul attempts to produce acid- osiy in himself had previously been made by Mr. Haldane in" the laboratory of his father, Professor J. S. Haldane, at Oxford. He had consumed quantities of certain acids, but owing to the resistance of the human body to any disturb- ance of its internal environment, he failed.
The acidosis produced in himself by consuming ammonium chloride was sufficient, it was stated yester- day, to cause Mr. Haldane to pant as if he was running up a steep mountain.
