A fifty per cent mucilage ofacacia is employed, to which an equalquantity (by volume) of bismuth sub-carbonate is added. The official U.S.P.mixture contains 35 per cent acacia,but as usually procured, does not ha\e suchcontent. The mucilage as suggested isreadily made by adding directly powderedgum arable to an equal volume of water;this is stirred well for about five minutesand allowed to stand; after a short time partially recumbent position (about 10incline) on the fluoroscopic table; a levelteaspoonful is given. In this work a tableespecially designed for examination ofthe alimentary tract in the horizontalposition is used. This consists of a table-top(Fig. 8). Its upper third may be raisedto the desired angle, as a simple bed rest.This special table top is not necessary,however, but con\-enient, as change ofposition of patient is desirable during this
