1. It was confirmed that a local sweatresponse to faradic stimulation applied to human forearms and cat's foot-pads is produced by an axon reflex mechanism.
2. In human skin procaine, atropine, benadryl, chloretone and MK-02 blocked the sweat response to faradic stimulation possibly by acting on the receptor region for the axon reflex, but the faradic sweat response was unaffected by hexamethonium and decamethonium,
3. Likewise, the axon reflex response in the toe-pads of cats was inhibited by both procaine and atropine, but it was not interfered with by hexamethonium.
4. In the toe-pads the sweat response to fardism was abolished by degenerative section of the sciatic nerve.
5. It was concluded that the site of initiation of the sweating axon reflex by faradic stimulation is presumably the receptors responsible.
