Excerpt from Diagnosis of Dilatation of the Stomach We proceed now to the second point of importance in the diagnosis of gastric dilatation: to the determination of the motor activity or sufficiency of the walls of the stomach. Here, too, we find a number of methods recommended. Among the older of these is the salol-test, to determine the duration necessary for propulsion of the contents into the duodenum, the assumption being made that the decomposition of the salol speedily follows its entrance into the alkaline intestinal secretions. According to Ewald, this takes place and the resulting salicylic acid appears in the urine within forty to sixty minutes, in health, and not until a much later period in gastrectasis. It is unnecessary to enter upon the discussion of the merits of this test. Numerous observers have found and our own experiences have taught us that Ewald's method possesses no practical usefulness. Another plan proposed was that of introducing a measured quantity of oil into the stomach and removing the portion remaining after two hours with the stomach-tube. This method has the great disadvantage. That complete removal of liquids from the stomach is often impossible, and that the limits of normal motor activity probably vary more widely than such a test would permit us to believe.
