Abstract
With one exception, data on digestion and absorption in the stomach were gathered only in fragments. The exception was the work of Efrim Semenovich London, who between 1905 and 1910 at the Imperial Institute for Experimental Medicine in St. Petersburg executed a comprehensive study program of the digestion and absorption of foodstuffs throughout the digestive tract. For the sake of clarity I will describe the fragments first. Then I will summarize London’s experiments and the results he obtained on digestion and absorption in the stomach.
