Influence of the water of the Izhevsk mineral spring on duodenal secretion

By now, a wealth of practical experience has been accumulated on the positive results of the action of Izhevsk mineral water in diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and liver, as evidenced by numerous reviews of professors-clinicians and practical doctors. However, observing in the sanatorium of the Izhevsk mineral spring patients suffering from decreased secretion and achilia of the stomach, catarrhal state of the biliary tract of the liver, one has to be surprised at the rapidly advancing positive results that are obtained after a month of treatment with water. Belching, heartburn, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in patients with subacid catarrhs ​​and stomach achilia disappear amazingly quickly, liver soreness disappears in inflammatory processes of the biliary tract, food digestibility and weight gain increase. Research and observation by prof. BA Voltaire, Dr. Vilensky and Lande of gastric secretions during treatment with Izhevsk water show that St. HC1 and total acidity with subacid catarrh increases relatively little, while with complete organic achilia of St. HC1 did not appear at all or appeared in the form of traces, meanwhile, pronounced dyspeptic phenomena almost completely disappear ?, therefore, naturally, we had to assume that there were changes in the secretion of the pancreas and liver, and that their secretion increased under the influence of treatment with Izhevsk water. From this side, the water of the Izhevsk mineral spring has not yet been studied by anyone.
