EXPERIMENTALLY PRODUCED PEPTIC ULCERS

Abstract
Studies on peptic ulcer from several points of view attest its widespread distribution among persons in all conditions of life. The significance of this lesion lies not only in the danger to life which its presence threatens, but to its incapacitating effect on the enjoyment of life and on the maintenance of normal activities. For these reasons the subject of peptic ulcer is worthy of investigation, including that of experimental research. Although the practical aspect of the results of experimental investigation on peptic ulcer is questionable, one cannot doubt that its ultimate value will be justifiable. It is our purpose to review briefly some of our experimental work which appears to offer a possibility of being significant in the future of clinical medicine. The nature of our paper necessitates limiting references to other experimental work which is pertinent to our investigation. A recent complete review of the literature on experimentally
