GASTRO-ENTEROLOGY IN 1934

In surveying the literature on gastro-enterology for 1934 it has been my aim to present abstracts of only those articles which might be of interest and of practical value to the general practitioners of medicine who are familiar with the wide variety of gastro-intestinal disorders. In following such a plan, certain textbook subjects, such as cancer of the stomach and appendicitis, concerning which the usual large number of articles have appeared, have been discussed but briefly, because practically nothing new has been written about them. As some diseases have been given considerable attention and others none, the consequence is an unbalanced review of the very extensive field of gastro-enterology. But it is hoped that the elimination of reports on subjects which contribute little or nothing to the advancement of the knowledge but are often included for the sake of completeness will give the reader a clearer and more concise insight
