Gastric gland function under the action of pilocarpine, physostigmine and adrenaline

In view of extremely scarce and sometimes contradictory data available in literature about physiological action of pilocarpine, physostigmine and adrenalin on functions of gastric glands, we decided, on the proposal of Prof. N.A. Mislavsky, to study this question, using the modern technique, richly developed by Prof. I.P. Pavlov. Two dogs, "Polkan" and "Marquis", both with Heidenhain'y-Pavlov isolated stomachs, were used for our experiments. The animals had been operated long before the beginning of the experiments and thus were in a quite normal condition during the research.
