We wondered also what would be the effect of giving progressively larger amounts of foods. Would the efficiency of digestion fail gradually at a certain point or would it break suddenly?

METHOD OF EXPERIMENTATION

As was reported by Hosoi, Alvarez and Mann, the colon was removed from three dogs, and the distal end of the ileum was joined to the stump of the rectum.
