It occurred to us that the device used in the study of the reflex control of the cardia and lower esophagus¹ might be adapted to a similar study of the pylorus, and, for acute experiments on anesthetized animals, might possibly present less local trauma, irritation and abnormal conditions than were involved in previous work on the pylorus, excepting the use of the roentgen ray on man and animals not under anesthesia.

The mechanism of pylorus control has challenged numerous investigators in recent years, partly from physiologic interest, partly because of the importance of the pylorus in the motor and secretory disturbances of the stomach. As regards local mechanism involving only the pylorus and adjacent regions of the antrum and upper duodenum, Cannon,² in 1904, summarized his own observations and those of previous investigators in his theory of "acid control of the pylorus," that is, the acid of the gastric juice . . .
