Therap. Mhefte, 6/ 3. - Berlin, Verlag von Julius Springer, März 1892, 8°, (16), pp.105-160, orig. Broschur. First German Edition! "In Poland the method of gastrodiaphanoscopy was popularized by Teodor Heryng (1847-1925), Mikolaj Rejchman (1851-1918) and by Warsaw doctors. They used a diaphanoscope consisting of a gutta-percha probe distally equipped with a metal attachment with a light bulb hidden in it and with a so-called cooling device. The examination would usually be conducted in the standing position after the stomach had been filled with water. Light patches corresponding to the stomach's lower and side boundaries would be obtained. Rejchman's observation, that such a contractile and flexible organ as the stomach, changing its volume and position, is bound to change its light image, was correct. Heryng's and Rejchman's research inspired the foreign researchers Renvier, Leopold Kuttner and John Jacobson."
