Abstract
McCance, Rutishauser and Knight1 studied the response to pilocarpine of the sweat glands of malnourished and healthy Bantu speaking African children in Uganda, healthy European children of the same age, and healthy Ugandan and European male and female adults. The objective of the study described here was (a) to increase the numbers of the Bantu speaking Ugandan and European subjects investigated; and (b) to make a parallel study of subjects from the Indian community living in Kampala.
