title: [Comparative study between montmorillonite and Smecta on anti-dysentery effect].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare the efficiency of montmorillonite (Mengtuoshi) and Smecta.
  
  
  METHODS
  The effects on the dysentery mice induced by MgSO4, rhubarb powder and castor oil, were observed by given respectively 15.6%, 31.2% Mengtuoshi and 31.2% Smecta. And the effects on the over-contracted rabbit intestines were also observed.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Both Mengtuoshi and Smecta could relieve the over pushing speeding of stomach and intestine, and reduce the times of dysentery.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  The anti-dysentery effect of Mengtuoshi was similar to Smecta from France and may be used as good anti-dysentery drug.
