Albert Leffingwell
Albert Leffingwell (1845–1916) was an American physician, social reformer, and author known for his advocacy in areas such as animal rights, vegetarianism, and medical ethics. He wrote extensively on issues related to vivisection, critiquing the practice in his book "An Ethical Problem" (1903). Leffingwell was also a proponent of humane treatment in medical practices, as reflected in his work "The Influence of Marriage on Longevity" (1890), where he explored the social and health impacts of marriage. His writings often addressed both ethical concerns and public health, making him an influential figure in the movements for both animal welfare and public reform.
