Novel vivisection demonstration of the heart in college lecture

In a crowded amphitheatre at the College of Physicians and Surgeons Professor J G Curtis staged a controversial vivisection of a calf to illustrate heart action. Assistants bound the animal, ethered it, and Curtis exposed the heart, tracing its behavior during systole and diastole before a stunned audience. The event ended with the calf sacrificed, drawing mixed reactions from observers.
