Many clinicians have noted a decreased secretion of mucus in patients with ulcer.² It is likewise noteworthy that the many patients with ulcer rarely return to a normal basal secretory state. My objective, therefore, was to feed mucin to patients with ulcer in an attempt to correct the mucin deficiency as well as to restore normal basal secretory rates. By 1929 I had prepared a gastric mucin adequate for experimental and clinical investigation. The first clinical report on the treatment of gastroduodenal ulceration with gastric mucin . . .
