resistance from hand to hand and representative results 

 are shown in Table II. 



In obtaining the above results the hands were kept 

 immersed in the salt solutions until the direct current 

 readings were approximately constant. The subjects 

 were all young men. Most of the tests were carried out

at 20 volts, this JDeing the pressure at which discomfort 

 was usually produced. Average values of the resistance 

 to direct current with subjects of different ages are shown 

 in Table III. 



The limits of the resistance recorded in the above 

 table are 1 140 and 1670 ohms, the highest voltage used
