In a previous article¹ we described a method by which it was possible to estimate the amount of gastric juice secreted and discharged from the stomach in successive ten minute periods following the introduction of a standard stimulus (alcohol). We have now examined a considerable number of people with and without gastric symptoms and the present article deals with some of the data derived from these studies.

THE VOLUME OF GASTRIC JUICE SECRETED BY PEOPLE WITHOUT DIGESTIVE SYMPTOMS

In setting biologic standards it is usually customary to select persons that most nearly approximate normal, and in studying normal gastric function it might at first seem best to study a group of healthy young adults without present symptoms, and with the minimum of past diseases. However, in dealing with patients with digestive symptoms when a diagnostic problem exists, it would be misleading to compare with a supernormal standard, and what one . . .
