Abstract
Conclusions
1. Gastric secretion obtained by histamine stimulation (0.01 mg. per kilo) under standard conditions, seems to be quite constant for the same individual, both as to volume and height of free acidity. 2. Histamine tests repeated in succession and on succeeding days give practically identical results. 3. Atropine, in doses of 1 mg., decreases the volume of gastric secretion obtained by histamine stimulation in man, approximately SO%, but does not affect the free acid content appreciably.
