مستخلص: In applying the doudenal tube to the roentgenologic examination of the digestive tract we soon felt the need of a more rapid passage of the olive than is usual with the ordinary methods. Before the screen we observed that the propulsive force in the esophagus was the peristalsis, in the stomach the weight of the ball at the end of the tube, in the region of the pylorus a mechanism which is not yet perfectly clear, and in the duodenum again the weight of the ball. Since gravity was a significant factor, the position of the patient was of the utmost importance. By proper changes of the position we arrived at a technic which even with our wholly pathologic material led us to our goal in from twenty to twenty-five minutes. Of course, we except cases in which it is a manifest impossibility to effect a passage.The steer-horn stomach
