Its value rests on an increase in the circulation through the extremities, as demonstrated by determinations of cutaneous temperature. Brown and his co-workers have shown that the temperature of the skin increases to a far greater degree than the temperature of the mouth when fever is artificially induced, and have expressed the belief that this excessive increase in temperature is due to vasodilation.
