Two men in a make-shift laboratory are about to operate on a live rabbit. A group of concerned citizens has entered on the left, attempting to stop the operation. The spirits of many past victims of illnesses are on the right imploring the men to continue with their research for the sake of humanity. Caption: The Sentimentalists — For mercy’s sake, stop! / The Sufferers — For humanity’s sake, go on!
