After demarcationof the lower stomach border with energy of moderatepotentiality, and an energy of greater potentiality is con-veyed, there is not only accentuated dulness but likewise a. Fig. 17.—Liver (A) and stomach (C) borders. The latter were primarilyelicited by a bar-magnet. When energy was conveyed to the stomach region froma carcinoma, the energy potentiality was such, that it caused a retraction of thestomach border from C to B, and if percussion were not extended far enough up,stomach dulness would have escaped observation. 40 THE STOMACH EEFLEX RETRACTION of the stomach border, unless the latter IS CONSIDERED, PERCUSSION IS NOT EXTENTDED FAR ENOUGHUP, AND AN ERROR MAY BE BY FAILING TORECOGNTZE THE RECEDED STOMACH REFLEX. This contingency is shown in fig. 17. The following constant may be formulated;—the dura-tion and amplitude of the stomach or any other visceralreflex is in direct proportion to the intensity of the energy-and its proximity to the region governing a given reflex. Even in the norm, when energy of moderate degree isconveyed to the stomach region and percussion is executed?the stomach shows alternate tympanitic resonance (nev
