Abstract
A simple gag has been designed and tested which enables the intragastr ic intubation of the guineapig by one person without the use of sedati on or light anaesthesia. The system described was used successfully fo r the daily dosing of materials to 7 guineapigs for 14 days without di scomfort, aspiration or any injury to the upper gastro-intestinal trac t.
