Abstract
Summary
Twenty clogs, under ether anesthesia were injected intramuscularly with eserine and eserine plus acetylcholine. One mg. of eserine or less did not regularly produce peristalsis of the stomach, ileum, and colon. When 0.025 mg. of acetylcholine was combined with one mg. of eserine, peristalsis resulted, almost constantly in all 3 viscera. Intramuscular injection of larger amounts, 2-3 mg., of eserine regularly induced generalized intestinal motility but caused undesirable concomitant effects as well.
