The finger sweat-print and palmar sweatweight methods were compared in a double-blind, crossover study by determining their relative sensitivity in detecting the antisweating effects of 0.5 mg of atropine sulfate. The sweat-print method was significantly superior in detecting drug-induced sweat reduction and hypothesized sex differences. DESCRIPTORS: Palmar conductance. Finger sweating, Anticholinergic drugs. Sex differences. (D. M. McNair)

The authors argue for the importance of understanding Deaf people, in this case American Sign Language users, as a distinct ethnic group (Part I). This then frames an in depth history of the Deaf families of New England (Parts II-IV). Starting with the voyage of the Mayflower in 1620, and continuing until about 1640, more than 20,000 colonists, most of them English Puritans, made their way to New England's harsh shores. This small founding population and the practice of intermarriage within extended families including between first cousins led to significant Deaf lineages in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Maine. The first known Deaf person of Henniker, New Hampshire, was Nahum Brown, a farmer born in the late 1700s. His Deaf son, Thomas Brown, entered the American Asylum, the school founded by Thomas Gallaudet and Laurent Clerc, at eighteen and was one of the first pupils to graduate. There Thomas Brown met Mary Smith from Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts. They married and returned to Henniker where they were at the center of an active Deaf community. In 1887, the American Asylum listed forty-four students past and present from the Henniker area. This Deaf enclave became a powerful force in the Deaf institutions of the era. Thomas helped found the New England Gallaudet Association of Deaf-Mutes (NEGA), copublished a newspaper, was director of the Deaf-Mute Library Association, and helped found the New England Industrial School for Deaf Mutes. His Deaf son and nephews followed in his footsteps. The Deaf community of Martha's Vineyard was quite different from that of Henniker. The Vineyard had high rates of intermarriage

A Criterion-Refined Measure of Depressed Mood

In a laboratory situation where money is used to systematically modify mood along a continuous dimension of depression-elation, the measure finally selected as “best” for quantifying the magnitude of change was that combination of items which maximized the empirical relationship with a logarithmically scaled stimulus. While the experimental data were derived from normal subjects the resulting measure, which is highly sensitive to these experimentally induced mood swings, may have similar sensitivity to treatment-induced changes in patients with affective mood disturbances.
