I am inclined to believe it is attacked with the disorder which killed my father a scirrhus in the pylorus the physicians of Montpelier prophesied it would be hereditary in our family." "I am neither an atheist," said Napoleon, "nor a rationalist; I believe in God, and am of the religion of my father.
Mayo's "Classification of the impressions produced by substances taken into the fauces," viz., "Where sensations of touch alone are produced, as by rock-crystal, sapphire, or ice," the word taste may be applied to the discriminating faculty of the Pylorus.
For two years she suffered agonies in her stomach without any cessation or relief. The luckless peach-stone, repelled by the walls of the stomach, which its very touch irritated, was incessantly thrown against the entrance of the pylorus, but in vain. As to turning itself into chyme, such a thing was not to be thought of, it was far too hard a substance for that.
"Providence has sent you. Help me! save the life of Alfred!" "What do you say?" "That poor old darling has fainted! Have pity upon us! run and fetch two sous worth of absinthe very strong; that is the remedy when he is indisposed in the pylorus. Be kind; do not refuse me, and I can return to Alfred. I am quite confused!" Miss Dimpleton left Rudolph's arm, and ran off to the dram-shop.
For once, here is a name which agrees with our method of describing the human machine, and I have much pleasure in translating it to you, although it is a Greek word. Pylorus is the Greek for a porter; and our ring is indeed a porter like the one of which we have already said so much, and which I called last time the porter up above, in anticipation of his colleague below.
For example, in the case of a mouthful of bread and meat swallowed at once, the bread passes away on its travels long before the meat has done dancing attendance in the stomach, awaiting that transformation without which the pylorus will never allow it to slip through.
Little chap with blond hair and nose-glasses. You remember seeing him—Yes, he told me. He was in there. Saw it all. Gosh, I don't see how they can do it. This fellow seemed to be very much upset, at that. He looked scared. I say, George, do you know what the pylorus is?" "Pylorus? No." "I wish I knew. This fellow seemed to think that Brady made some sort of a mistake.
The pylorus actually tastes the paste which is in the stomach, and if it is not to his taste, that is to say, if the work of digestion has not sufficiently transformed it for use, he keeps the door relentlessly closed. The porter up above has a thousand different tastes. He makes his bow to meringues, and admits wings of chickens.
On the other hand, if among some of them the liver is reduced to simple tubes, floating loosely in the body, as we have just seen it in the cockchafer among insects, these tubes are generally so profusely multiplied, and press so closely against each other, that they form a large compact lump a true liver, to sum up all from which issues, as from ours, a choledochian canal, a bile duct, i. e., which passes out into the intestine at the entrance of the pylorus.
This ought to make you seriously reflect on the danger of carelessly swallowing things, which, by their nature, are not susceptible of being converted into chyme, particularly if they are too large to hide in the general paste, as a cherry-stone will sometimes do, so mixed up with other food as to pass unperceived by the pylorus, over whose decisions we have no control, remember.
