Excerpt from On the Relative Efficiency of the Various Methods of Administering Saline PurgativesIn conclusion, then, it may be stated that a te-examination of the effect of intravenous and subcutaneous injection of sodium citrate, sodium sulphate, and barium choride has shown that these salts markedly increase the amount of feces eliminated, and also, when given in larger doses, markedly increase the ¿uid ity of the feces. These results confirm in every respect the con elusions of maccallum. The reasons why Auer, and Meltzer and Auer have been unable to confirm this result seem to bez (1) they used only the milder purgatives mentioned by maccallum. And (2) in using these they did not keep adequate controls and thus failed to notice the increase in the amount of feces which they were probably getting.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
