Any other information on results incl. tables

No individual data given. However, the experimental and control animals reacted to the retreatment qualitatively identical with percievable reddening of the parts of the skin treated, this quickly subsided and 24 hours after removal of the patch no further reaction was visible. The same observations are by experience made where vaseline is used as the medium for retreatment.
