Abstract
The central origin of the sweating response has been confirmed by an observation made since this paper went to press. The subject (Case 9) was a man in whom the sympathetic supply to the head, neck, and upper extremity on the left side had been interrupted by operation 39 days before. During a typical reaction to intraventricular A. Ch. continuous sweating appeared on the right arm and right side of the face, while the area of sympathetic paralysis on the left side remained perfectly dry (Chart 8). The observation indicated that sweating was produced by central stimulation and that the impulses to the sweat glands were conveyed by secretory fibres in the sympathetic nerves.
