Stimulation of the splanchnic after nicotine‐application to the cœliac ganglion and to the superior mesenteric ganglion causes marked dilatation of the vessels of the stomach and intestine. This vasodilatation is usually veiled by the peristaltic contraction of the coat of the stomach and intestine, which is simultaneously produced by stimulation of the splanchnic. It is not until this contraction is stopped by atropine that the vasodilator action of the splanchnic becomes visible.
