It thus contains the secretin of Bayliss and Starling and is capable of increasing also the pancreatic secretion. The fluid produced in the intestine was later analyzed by Bot- tazzi and Gabrieli-® and proved to be quite similar to the normal intestinal secretion. It is of some interest to note that the intestinal secretion and the pancreatic secretion are simultaneously augmented by the intravenous injection of this extract. “ Arch, internationales de Physiologie, 1905, Vol. Ill, II, p. 156.
