Thephoto was taken as the food was again taking up its position in thelower part and shows the distrih\ition of the rugic in parallel linescoinciding with the axis of the stomach.

Pyloric obstruction 33 in which the muscle happened to be when the anassthetic actedupon it, and is a most unrehable index to the naturalcondition. PYLORIC OBSTRUCTION. Obstruction is a relative term and depends not only on thenarrowing of the canal through which the food has to pass,but on the vis a tergo. These are the two main factors, butwhen the stomach is atonic there is also the static disabilityresulting from the fact that the lowest part, in which the foodcollects, is far below the pylorus. It
