Abstract

1. In a moderately sweating condition pressure upon one side of the body evokes without exception a hemihidrosis of the opposite side.2. In similar conditions, pressure upon the soles or hip evokes the upper and lower sweating reflex.3. Pressure on one side of the body does influence sweating from mental origin.
