Conclusions
-
1.
By clinical observations Banthine delays motility of the colon in patients who have constipation, chronic ulcerative colitis, spastic colitis, ileostomies, and normal persons.
-
2.
By roentgenologic observations, Banthine delays motility of the colon in the same group of patients studied clinically.
-
3.
By roentgenologic evaluations, the optimum delay in the motility of the colon is noted in the cecum.
