Excerpt from Clinical Medicine: Lectures and Essays
Gentlemen,
We have recently had an opportunity of studying together the treatment of ulcer of the stomach. In to-day's lecture I propose to lay before you, more fully than I have been able to do at the bed-side, my reasons for treating these cases by mechanical and physiological rest. In the first place, however, it may be profitable to review briefly the state of the diseased organ, and the conditions which favour the development and extension of ulceration. The earliest step in the production of gastric ulcer, is the arrest of the circulation in some little vascular territory of the mucous membrane. Such arrest often occurs during catarrhal inflammations, and is followed by extravasation of blood into the tissue, and afterwards by erosion of its surface.
