Physiology and Pathology of Membrane Digestion

The physiology and pathology of membrane (contact or surface) digestion of the three main components of the food of animals and man is a rapidly developing field, and there is little doubt that newer ob­ servations will become available as time progresses. As the dis­ coverer of the phenomenon of me...
