Klemperer's Method. A method of ascertaining the 

 condition of gastric peristalsis. It consists in the in- 

 troduction, by the tube, into the empt\ stomach of ioo 

 grams of olive-oil, and removing by aspirating with 

 water what remains after two hours. As oil is not 

 I from the stomach, the difference between 

 the amount introduced and that withdrawn indicates 

 the activity of gastric peristalsis. The oil is taken up 

 from die water with ether, and the ethereal solution 

 placed in a bulb, the weight of which is known. 

 The weight of the oil is calculated after evaporation of 

 the ether.
