Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Examination of the Function of the Intestines by Means of the Test-Diet: Its Application in Medical Practice and Its Diagnostic and Therapeutic Value Functional Diagnosis of the Stomach and of the Intestine. - Experiments in Digestion. - Conditions of a Rational Test of the Function of the Intestine. - The Examination of the Content of the Stomach as Indicator. To any one who compares the present state of intestinal pathology with that of the pathology of the stomach, there can be no doubt, that in spite of the various advances we have made, especially in the field of local inflammations (appendicitis) of stricture and of obstruction of the intestine, the former has nevertheless remained very far behind the latter. This is especially true for those diffuse diseases of the intestine and its adnexa (the liver and the pancreas) which have no broadly recognizable symptoms. These will form the subject of our consideration primarily; in other words, the lighter grades of inflammation and the numerous other so-called functional diseases, for which it has hitherto proved impossible to find an anatomic substratum. In the pathology of the stomach it is in the knowledge of just these forms of diseases that extraordinary progress has been made in the last two decades, and this we owe to the use of the stomach-tube for the purposes of diagnosis (v. Leube) and to the introduction of the test-breakfast and the test-meal (Ewald, Riegel); in short, to the creation of a functional diagnosis of the diseases of the stomach.
