ASPIRIN AND GASTRIC HAEMORRHAGE BOURNAL 1533 evacuated, but no true calculi were found.She was well when last seen as an out-patient on November 22, 1951.During her first admission to hospital she was given 2 codeine compound tablets (N.F.) crushed, with a little water, on three successive days after admission, without knowing that she was being given aspirin.In the past all aspirin preparations, including codeine compound tablets and also the " soluble " brands of the drug, had made her sick within a few hours, even when taken crushed and with a cupful of water.She vomited several times in the first few days in hospital, but not after the haematemesis.In view of the equivocal findings of the opaque meal, it is suggested that there is strong presumptive evidence that the bleeding in this case was caused by the administration of aspirin.
