To the practical value of these observations, which are important because the excessive acidities and over- secretions make up a bulk of gastric cases that are benefited by their use, may be added certain other facts which have helped to bring their universal adoption about. Among the most prominent of these are the following; In many of the neurotic and even those of a catarrhal condition of the stom- ach well digested oil is a powerful reconstructor, energizer, and tissue sparer, and by its constitu- tional effects assists in bringing about a more nor- mal condition of the general body and stomach ; the inhibitory action that it has in instances of over- motility and its antispasmodic effects in pyloro- spasm, also two common forms of stomach disturb- ance ; and the writings of Cohnheim on the benefits; that accrue from its use in the treatment of gas- tric ulcer, and .several others of an empirical nature-..
