Synopsis

Understanding digestion from the inside out and how it shapes healthy function.

This edition presents a century‑old, clinical exploration of the digestive system. It surveys how the body transforms food into nourishment, the role of ferments, bile, and pancreatic juice, and how these processes relate to disease and treatment. The text blends physiological theory with practical clinical insights, offering a framework for diagnosing and managing digestive disorders.

• Learn how digestion works in the stomach, small intestine, and liver, with emphasis on the role of secretions and absorption.
• Explore the interplay between nerves, circulation, and digestive secretions, and their impact on therapy.
• See how historical experiments informed modern understanding of ulcers, bile flow, and intestinal function.
• Find guidance on approaching diagnosis and treatment with an evidence‑based, clinical mindset.

Ideal for practitioners and advanced students seeking a foundational, reformulated view of digestive physiology and its clinical applications.
