However, the discovery was almost accidental: in June 1822, Beaumont rescued a young ** victim named Alexis Street.
Martin has a thumb hole in his stomach
Thanks to Beaumont's experience as a surgeon, Alexis survived, although the bullet left a considerable wound in his stomach that did not fully heal and developed into a smulong.
Alexis' unique situation made it possible to study the digestive process in detail in an unprecedented way by simply removing the protective compounds. Beaumont then offered to make the boy his lab assistant, or rather his experimental rabbit, subjected to a series of experiments that were sufficiently reproducible.
At the time, it was controversial whether the stomach digested food mechanically or chemically, and Beaumont was able to solve the mystery by inserting the food into Saint-Martin's stomach with a spoon, then removing it and examining it. Beaumont also observed, for example, putting meat wrapped in a rope into a hole and then removing it.
As a result of these studies, Beaumont discovered that the digestion of food is carried out through chemical pathways, which is why he is known as the "father of gastric physiology".
He was able to quantify in detail the different rates of digestion of food and was the first to perform digestion experiments in vitro, removing the digestive part from the stomach and studying its function at different temperatures.
Due to his unstable relationship with Alexis, which was due to his short temper, it took Beaumont many years to complete his studies.
In 1825, Saint-Martin left him and did not return until four years later. In 1831 he left Experiments and Observations of Gastric Juice and the Physiology of Digestion published in 1833.
