Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from On Syphonage and Hydraulic Pressure in the Large Intestine: With Their Bearing Upon the Treatment, of Constipation Appendicitis, Etc
The author's attention has been specially drawn to the large 'intestine for some years; but the idea of a syphon only dates from last autumn. He contributed an article on this subject to the December number of the Edinburgfi Medical journal and, during the same month, this was published as a reprint together with some supplementary notes in which he sought to prove that the longitudinal bands are in a state of tonic contraction. This has been now confirmed by observation. The views given have excited wide-spread interest.
