Abstract:

In view of the results presented the classical concept of cathartic action by simple irritation with enhanced peristalsis must be re-evaluated and the probability of very specific mechanisms must be entertained. These investigations are continuing in an attempt to assess the role of these and other cathartics on active Naion transport in man and other species.
