THE CLINICAL importance of disturbances in sweating is being more and more widely recognized. It has become apparent that the sequelae of such disturbances are responsible for a variety of cutaneous and systemic disorders.¹ The object of this paper is to review briefly some of the available therapeutic measures in relation to the following three categories² of sweat disturbances:

1. Hypohidrosis or anhidrosis
   
2. Hyperhidrosis
   
3. Dyshidrosis³ or pathidrosis, i. e., abnormal composition of the sweat, or conditions in which both preceding quantitative disturbances are combined or in which one of the two quantitative disturbances coincides with some other disorder or disorders.
