Some notes on the history of gastroenterology.

On March 9th, 1790, the first stomach tube was contrived. Today, Kussmaul's paper, read at the 41st meeting of German naturalists and physicians in Frankfurt on Main in September 1867 is considered to be the starting point for the development of gastroenterology. In 1879 Ewald delivered the scientific elements of this new special line of medicine. Two disciples of Ewald, Boas and Einhorn, were born in little Polish towns and became pioneers of gastroenterology. The first gastroenterological society in Europe, the Polish Gastrological Society, was founded by Rejchman in Warsaw in 1909.
