Two years later, MacCallum, Lintz, Vermilye, Leggett and Boas² reported an increase in the carbon dioxid combining power of the blood plasma, and a fall in chlorids following sectioning of the pylorus in dogs. Hastings, Murray and Murray³ studied the blood of dogs with pyloric obstruction and found that they all developed an alkalosis. Grant⁴ noted a similar rise in the carbon dioxid combining power of the plasma and a reduction of the chlorids in two clinical cases of obstruction of the pylorus.

In acute intestinal obstruction, Tileston and Comfort⁵ were the first to report an increase in the blood nitrogen.
