On the 26th of July, accordingly, he ctit right into the lad’s stomach, and fnsertod into it an elastic tubo through which food could be injected. In this way, soup, finc-chopped meat, mashed vegetables, and drink, were nd- mintstered, On the 10th of BScptember the young mnn recoyercd his health and spirits, Ho vas able to go about and hol') tho scrvants n the hoapital, and secmed to have as much life and energy as he had before the accldent, Be- ‘ween the 18th of Augustand the 14th of 8eptem- Tier he pzained ton pounds In welght, whils being fed thraugh the hole {n bis stomach, OF course this casc must havea raro interest for all stu- dents of the complex phenomena of digestlon, and it caunot but reeall astill strangoer one, which, nearly tnrcey years ago, Dr. Beaumont, a Uanu(flnn, liad the good fortunc to vhserve.

Dr, Beaumont cured him go far that he rccov- ered his health; Lnt, though the wound healed, the opening remaled, and through it Dr, Heau-, mont was enabled to sco the workings of a ly- ing human stomach In nearly all concelvablo clreumstances, Another cuso of the same sort. —tlat of an Esthoulan woman—came under the observation of Drs. Schroeder and Grunewaldt somo four-and-twenty years ago, and vivisectora kuow how Blondlot and othura artificially pro- duced the sane condition in dogs, and theroby goalned o cortaln fnsight into tho behavior of food In the ventral alemble of tho tissues, It was found, for cxample, that in the fnsting atate tho walls of tho stomach appeared pale and flabby, snd lay close together, where- upon soma people erroncously concluded thot tlic sensatioh of hungoer was due to the rubbing of the coats of the stomach on cach other, I was noted that whenever food was introtuced tho sides of tho cavity reddened with tho stinu- lated clreulation, and {ts muscular activity was aroused. As Dr, Beaumont suld, ~ from obscryatfons made on Alexis St. Martin, the chewed food was churaed In the stomach, und carrfed round aund round the courso of its curvatures. In this way it waz triturated and exgoml to the sulvent action of the gustric Juleo which acted ou the albuminousaud gelutin- vus substances swallowed, until pgrudunlly u milky fluld, known us chymne, was “claborated. Thuswns it found out that wo take usually about four hours to dlgest a diuncr; and it was also discovered that diferent kinds of food vary much In theie digestlbility—notable, for example, thiat fats and oil take a loug time to dimest when introduced nto the stomach aloue, but are much more speedily got rid of by that organ it enten with salad or vegetabie matters, Of all the curlous fucts observed by students of the phenowena of digestion, liowever, none was stranger thun the extent to which emoticns were seen to atfect tho operations of the atum- ach. Mental exertions pure and shnple did not seem to rotard digestion so much us had heen conjectured. Yot when nssoclated with aecp emotions, or with that fretfuiness of mind we call ¥ worey,” it uppeared to have a baneful fn- fluence, As for the lloreer peasions, an outbreak of them would somcthmes suflice to pre- vent the stomach even when most vigorous from discharging its functions.
