It is to be distinguished from a peristaltic Avave bj^ thefact that the indentation appears on the greater curvature only. Spas-modic hour-glass comes and goes, is present on some plates and noton others, and will remain unchanged whether the i)atient stands orlies down. The same incisure may also occur on the lower curvaturefrom spasm originating from ulcer of the lesser curvature, even in theabsence of adhesions, and this may ap])ear fixed in a large number ofplates. A similar incisure may also appear in the plates of gastriccancer. PLATE I Fig. 1 Fiy. 2.
