They believe that the block to drainage is broughtabout by kinks, and that the kinks, which tend to form in certain situations,are due to bands; in other words, the condition is due to a mechanical cause(Lane, Ibid.). Mayo regards such bands as congenital. Lane holds thatfaulty feeding in early life causes abnormal distention and pull on the gut, thatwhen the erect posture is assumed the condition is exaggerated by the formationof new peritoneal bands which are formed to resist the dropping of the 1909 Jabez Jackson described a pseudomembrane sometimes seen over the.

Some observers regard Jacksons veil as the result of pericolitis,some as due to infantile colitis, some to chronic colitis, some to (New York jMed.

He believes the membrane isformed because of ulceration or inflammation of the gastro-intestinal tract. The large intestine is thought by many to play such a prominent part intoxin absorption that Barclay Smith (quoted in Brit. Med. Jour., Dec. 7,1912), Metchnikoff.
