Yet I may offer a suggestion that might be of great help if a c t e d upon intelligently and nromptly. In my humble opinion a delegation of two or three at least (Swedes or Swedish A-mericans preferred) should be anpointed at once and sent to Washington to urge upon President R o o s ev el t the ur-genc-y. of quick and ad-equate help for the relief of Sweden from a most fiendish
tion to his naval prestige. All this should be prevented at most any cost. With this death-ly combination of the naval powers of Germanv, Italy. Japan and Sweden. and the probable aquisition of some 75 man-of wars of the F i s h y (Vichy) French Government, the allied cause would be in the utmost danger- “Britannia does not rule the waves no more”- Nor can you build a man-of-war in a dav! Trusting you will pardon my libertv and apnrove this well-meant plan of mine.
T am yours for the love of Old Sweden.
Gottfrid Gustafsson.
DET sätt på vilket vetenskapliga upptäckter göras är stundom högst märkvärdigt. Tag exempelvis berättelsen om, hur Dr. Beaumont, en amerikansk arméläkare, upptäckte praktiskt taget allt det som vi nu veta rörande magen och dess arbete.
_ Alexis St. Martin, en fransk kana-. are, blev år
1C22 skjuten med en musköt på kort avstånd. Laddningen gick in och igenom hans vänstra sida och tog med sig något av bukväggen, en del av magen och något av det nedre revbenet. Det var etl förskräckligt sår; men Alexis var vid ypperlig hälsa och stark, sa att han förmådde överleva olyckan. Alltefter

Matsmältningen bevisades sålunda vara en kemisk vätskefly-tande process, vilket vi numera veta beror på saltsyra och pepsin. Dr. Beaumont lade också märke till, att födoämnen rika på fett smälte rätt så långsamt, så att fyra till fem timmar behövdes för att tömma magen efter en bastant måltid av grisstek, potatis,

Emellertid behövde man endast vika unoan denna flik för att göra det möjligt att blicka in i magen och se, vad som hände därinne; och uvna »ar precis vad Dr. Beaumont gjorde. Han lade märke lili att den inre beklädnaden av den tomma magen var blekröd till färgen och läckt ined ett tunnt lager av slem, som var neutralt eller åtskilligt alka-

Dr. Beaumont upptäckte, att han kunde få magen att avsöndra magsaft genom att vidröra slemhinnan med något fast föremål; därför stack han i en gummislang och lät saften rinna ned i en flaska. Den så uppsamlade saften såg ut som vatten; men den var starkt syrlig i reaktion (emedan den innehöll saltsyra . -.makade mycket sur samt gjorJo
ingen magsaft; vilket helt naturligt blev till hinder för matsmältningen i magen. Införandet av eti Jaxer-medel botade kvickt detta tillstånd ( i magen, när det var beroende på örslcppning.
Alexis tyckes icke hava avsöndrat magsaft endast genom att se eller tunna lukten av föda; men vi veta numera att detta kan äga rum. Vi veta också, att om man helt enkelt tar föda i sin mun, så är detta tillräckligt alt sätta i gång avsöndrin-gen av magsafi hos en frisk person, j
Alexis hade en bra aptit, och liksom de flesta av oss åt han ibland för mycket. Under sådana förhållanden kunde magen icke tillgodogöra sig all av födan. Den osmälta Testen av födan verkade såsom ett I in iteringsmedel och försvagade i själva verket magfunktioneringen; el ier också passerade det ut ur magen endast delvis smält och irriterade tarmarna. Dr. Beaumont drog darav den slutsatsen, att dålig matsmältning (dyspepsia) i flera fall är resultatet av omåitligt ätande och drickande än av någon annan orsak.
Alagen är sålunda ett organ, vari födan är tillfälligt kvarhållen, tills den kan göras flytande genom en ’ kemisk process. Den är icke ca kvarn. Den malar icke födan. De medel som göra den flytande äro i.ksyra och pepsin.
