![CHAPTER YIT. DRUGS. External Applications.—The following dusting powders recommended by Tilt will occasionally be found of service in flushing I may here mention the influence of the local application of water in blushing. In one patient bathing the face in cold water increased the tendency to .blush ; in another it distinctly lessened it for a time. The effect of heat in the following case was re- markable :— JEt. 23 (woman). Subject to blushing from childhood; blushes worse the last eight years. An attack early in the day frees her for the remainder of the day; so also if she gets her face very red by bathing it in hot water or by sitting close to the fire. One side of her face gets red and heated from the fire; she will not blush for the remainder of the day on that side, but will on the other. When going to an evening party she avoids an attack by getting her face thoroughly red beforehand. Carmine, \ grain, or less. Nitrate of Bismuth, 3j- Camphor, 3ss. Oil of Bitter Almonds, TT\_ij.
