The effect of radon (intoxication by inhalation) on gastric secretion and of polonium (in oral administration) on the function of the gastric and intestinal glands of dogs was studied. Experiments demonstrated the comparatively stable decrease of the gastric secretion under the effect of radon. Tbe cyclic or undulating dynamies of the secretory function is considered to be the result of changing relations between the fundamental nerve processes (excitation and inhibition) at the basis of which lie the different degrees and stages of parabiosis. Radon is secreted with the gastric juice. Polonium is excreted by the kidneys and by the gastrointestinal tract, the latter playing the main role in this function. Polonium is retained in the organism for a long time. (tr-auth)
