Abstract
INTRODUCTION In a previous communication (1) we described a relatively simple method for assaying the quantities of sweat delivered on circumscribed areas of the surface of the human skin. This method, which employes the indicator used by Manuila of the school of Werner Jadassohn (2) for the detection of sweat, consists of the following essentials: Prints are taken of the sweat pattern on the skin by means of filter paper squares prepared with an indicator-powder containing Bromphenol-Blue and are compared with standard prints produced by measured quantities of water or sweat. Unlike the other quantitative technics thus far employed for the purpose of measuring sweat-output, the newly developed method permits examinations on a large scale within relatively short periods of time and without any intricate equipment. Furthermore, in contrast to the other technics, our method assays exclusively the outpouring sweat proper, i.e., the water coming from the sweat organ and collecting on the skin surface.
