Clinical tuberculosis . ityfor all individuals. In discussing tlie functional activity of the gastrointestinaltract, observers tell us that the stomach should be empty in sixhours; consequently, we fix in our mind that anything short ofsix hours is too rapid, and anything later than six hours is tooslow. Such is erroneous. An individual with a stomach in ahigh state of functional activity and strong musculature mayempty this organ in less than six hours, without being lookedupon as having hypermotility. On the other hand, a person witha less degree of functional activity with less muscular strength,might require longer than six hours and still not suffer fromhypomotility. Our conception of the normal must be altered to suit the phy-sical and functional capacity of the individual. To simplify matters, however, individuals may be classified incertain groups in wliieli the shape, relationship, and functionalcapacity of oigans may be inferred fiom the physical form anddegree of nerve stability of the Fig. GSA.—Sagittal section through the :^hu\ving the thickness of the soft struc-tures covering the apex from which may be inferred the importance of the increased tone(spasm) or degeneration upon the findings on palpation, percussion, and view.
