Book excerpt: Excerpt from Interstate Medical Journal, Vol. 11: January-December, 1904 Though a few scattering articles have appeared on the subject of absorption in the stomach, its importance to the therapeutist grows less and less. The question has a great scientific interest, but less practical importance. Our knowledge of the pancreas has increased very rapidly in the past twelve months. This, too, is largely due to the new impulse given to the work through the publications of Pawlow on the physiology of the pancreas and to the inter esting work by Opie and others on the pathology. These revelations have added materially to our ability to clear up diseases of an organ which has been up to this time but little understood.
