No case has presented itself in the course of these observations which would illustrate the statement made by Jones11 and Wechselmann,12 to the effect that some satinwood workers, after a first attack of dermatitis, may acquire resistance towards the irritant, and so remain immune, although still exposed to the contact of the dust; on the other hand, towards the two individuals who reacted to the second application of chloroxylonine subsequent contacts were markedly more severe in their result, and the same may be said of the reapplication of both oily and resinous principles of East Indian satinwood.
