In five minutes the dog had eaten eighty pieces of flesh (weighing 172 grams), all of which soon afterwards dropped out at the fistula. The secretion began in both stomachs after the lapse of seven minutes from the commencement of the feeding, and proceeded as follows: ══════╤═══════════════════════╦══════════════════════════════════ │ Miniature stomach. ║ Main stomach. ├——————————-┬———————————╫—————————————┬———————————————————— Hour. │ Quantity │ Digestive ║ Quantity of │ Digestive power. │ of juice. │ power. ║ juice. │ ——————┼——————————-┼——————————-╫—————————————┼———————————————————— 1 │ 7.7 c.c. │ ║ 83.2 c.c. │ 5.35 mm. │ │ ║ │} In consequence of │ │ ║ │} a mixture with 2 │ 4.5 ” │} ║ 58.1 ” │ } bile (10-15 c.c.) │ │ }6.25 mm ║ │ } the digestive 2½ │ 0.6 ” │} ║ 8.5 ” │} power was greatly │ │ ║ │} reduced. ——————┴——————————-┴——————————-╨—————————————┴———————————————————— The secretion from both cavities also came to an end at the same time. This experiment proves to us, first, that the main and miniature stomachs work in perfectly parallel manner with each other. The beginning, the end, and the intermediate variations of the secretion correspond in both cases. Secondly, the digestive power of the secretion coincides in both, and is the same which was observed in the so-called sham feeding. It has here remained at the same height till the cessation of the secretion, without falling to the lower value which we observed from the beginning of the second hour onwards, after normal flesh feeding. This was also confirmed later, when we performed an œsophagotomy on the dog, and carried out sham feeding in typical form. Here follows one of these experiments taken from Dr. Lobassoff’s article. The first drop of juice appeared from both cavities during the sixth minute after commencing the feeding, which was kept up for half an hour. The further course of the secretion was as follows: ══════╤══════════════════════════╦══════════════════════════ │ Miniature stomach. ║ Main stomach. ├————————————-┬————————————╫———————————————┬—————————— Hour. │ Quantity │ Digestive ║ Quantity │ Digestive │ of juice. │ power. ║ of juice. │ power. ——————┼————————————─┼————————————╫——————————————─┼—————————— 1st │ 7.6 c.c. │ 5.88 mm. ║ 68.25 c.c. │ 5.5 mm. 2nd │ 4.7 ” │ 5.75 ” ║ 41.5 ” │ 5.5 ” 3rd │ 1.1 ” │ 5.5 ” ║ 14.0 ” │ 5.38 ” │———— │ ———— ║ ————— │ ———— │13.5 (total) │ 5.75 (mean)║123.75 (total) │ 5.5 (mean) ——————┴—————————————┴————————————╨———————————————┴———————————
