Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Physiology of Alimentation
The only possible sources of error which might have crept into these observations of cannon and roux and batha zard are therefore those connected wi while making Observations and the nitrate with the food. That the first plays-o role in care fully conducted experiments is indicated by the fact that observations carried out on sleeping animals agree per-g fectly with those carried out on waking ones. So far as the bismuth subnitrate is concerned the objection will be made that it inhibits the intestinal movements, as it is'u's'ed for this purpose in the treatment of diarrhoeas. But care must be taken in applying what holds.for an in?amed gastro intestinal tract to a healthy one, in which the action of the bismuth subnitrate is at its worst but slight.
We shall follow first of all cannon's 1 description of the movements of the stomach in the cat.
