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

The following pages owe their origin to a series of lectures, which I delivered in the summer of 1903 at the instance of my colleagues. They sum up for medical pur poses the results of my investigations and Observations continued for about eight years. The desire to obtain an examination for the function of the intestines, that could be carried out in practice, analogous to the usual examinations of the stomach contents, and to advance by means Of this examination the diagnosis and therapeutics Of the diffuse intestinal diseases, in the Same way as it has already been accomplished in.the pathology of the stomach, was the incentive which led me from the beginning. The great deviations from our plan, which my investigations and those of my co - worker, Dr. Strasburger, made necessary in order to secure a scientifically established basis for our practical methods, have made it impossible to put this goal in the foreground, as I had it in mind to do. For this reason and partly also because our works were scattered in the inaccessible literature, our methods for examining the func tion of the intestine have not yet been able to secure a firm footing in practice. To many they at first seemed too complicated, a fault, which, I hope, has been almost al together removed. The conviction, that our functional examination, though it still has many gaps, can be Of service to the practitioner in many respects even in its present form, and the encouraging approbation Of col leagues, have induced me to make this comprehensive pres entation. At the same time it affords me a desired Oppor tunity for the publication of some recently Obtained results.
