Atthe autopsy the abdominal incision was found adherent to the mesen-tery. The duodenum which had been stripped of its mesentery wasfound free, without a mesenteric attachment, but freely supplied withblood by two large vessels running through a band of connective tissueadherent to the bowel on the concave denuded side. The vesselswere in communication with the adjacent intact mesenteric vessels, andserved to complete the interrupted mesenteric circulation. The gastro-splenic portion of the gland which was left behind was found com-pletely atrophied; in its centre the duct could be seen dilated to thesize of a leadpencil, and distended by a clear, transparent fluid. Thedilated duct had no communication with the bowel. (Fig. 6.) Fig. a. Remnant of pancreas. b. Dotted lines, outline of normal position of gland. c. Connective tissue nodule. d. Duct. e. Spleen. Remarks.—As in all of these experiments the common ductswere removed with the excised portion of the pancreas, it leftthe animal physiologically in the same condition as after com-plete extirpation of the organ, as no pancreatic juice could find THE SURGERY OF THE PANCREAS. 12/ its way into the intestine. In Experiments XIII. and XV. thedogs lived for a sufficient length of time to determine the influ-ence of the pancreatic secretion upon digestion and both of these animals the general health and nutrition re-mained unimpaired for four weeks, when emaciation, with fattystools, followed, which resulted in death from marasmus in one,after seventy-six days, and reduced the second dog to a skeletonin one hundred and twenty-six days.
