A coraparison of the results from Subject B shows that the para and meta 
compounds cause no apparent increase in nuclein cleavage; the oxidizing ferment 
does not appear to be stimulated. At least if it is there is a corresponding 
decomposition of the uric acid. That this is improbable is proved by there being 
no marked variation of the phosphorus; that the subject was susceptible to the 
ortho compound is seen from the action of the salicylate. Similar results were 
obtained from the use of the meta-hydroxy-benzoic acid with Subject A.
