It is hard not to believe that peptic disorders have existed for millennia; we can document gastric ulcers as pathological entities at least as far back as the 16th century, and in formal textbook style to Cruveilhier in the first half of the 19th century. For duodenal ulcer, we have pathological descriptions in the latter half of the 19th century, but the frequency with which the disease was encountered in Europe and England certainly seems to have been less than one-tenth that of gastric ulcer. On this side of the Atlantic duodenal ulcer was recognized more frequently; Julius Friedenwald stated in 1912'that of his 1000 patients with peptic ulcer, 52% had the ulcer in the duodenum. Will and Charles Mayo2 had operated on 58 perforated and chronic duodenal ulcers before 1904, some years before Lord Moynihan was demonstrating to a startled Arthur Hurst this" new disease" in the first decade of the 20th century. With the development of radiological technique, some criteria were agreed upon for the diagnosis of this disorder in patients who had not bled, perforated, or obstructed, but it is probably safe to say that no true appraisal of the incidence and prevalence of duodenal ulcer in a defined population could have been achieved until 1940, and then only in a few cities in a few countries. It is thus impossible to construct a reasonable idea as to the time trend for the frequency of occurrence of this disease before 1940, and it is better not to try.
