Excerpt from Diseases of the Stomach: A Text-Book for Practitioners and Students
During the last twenty years our views in the field of diseases of the stomach have undergone great changes; W.Beaumont in this country laid the corner-stone of scientific research and experimental study on the functions of this organ in 1825. From that time on the science of gastric diseases remained in a state of quiescence until 1867, when Kussmaul methodically applied the stomach pump in the treatment of dilatation of the stomach. The real progress, however, began a few years later, when Leube made use of the stomach pump for diagnostic purposes. Ewald, Boas, Beichmann, Kiegel, and others then instituted extensive studies of the gastric functions in health and disease. This second epoch in the study of digestive diseases, which had its inception in Germany, soon made itself felt in other countries, notably France, Russia, Austria, England, and America. In our counr try especially it seems that a very fruitful activity is developing in this direction. Among the older writers I would mention the names of Austin Flint, Delafield, Pepper, and Osier, all of whom contributed largely to our clinical knowledge in this branch of medicine.
