nitrobenzene, should be inspected with the view of installing devices to 
prevent workmen from inhaling the vapor or coming into contact with 
the liquid. 
9. In view of the evident relation existing between the lethal dose of 
nitrobenzene and the amount and kind of fats and other solvents of the 
drug present in the blood, it would appear highly desirable that further 
investigations should be undertaken with the view of working out rational 
therapeutics for cases of poisoning. 
10. Since the findings in these experiments indicate that the symptoms 
of nitrobenzene poisoning are caused by a direct action of the drug on the 
Purkinje cells, causing these cells to degenerate, and since different sets 
of muscles appear to be involved at different times, it would appear that 
further investigations might be of value from the standpoint of obtaining 
more exact data regarding the localization of functions in the cerebellum.
