little external appearance oi disease was per
ceptible, but upon the 81 .ghtest excitement,
such ns mental agitation, exercise or warmth,
however produced, high degree oil flushing
ensued, attended with an intolerabie sense oil
burning aud itching. In short, the unpleasant
condition OF this lady cannot easily be ana

efficacy oil the remedy, she now exposed ber-
self for several hours 10 the heat oil warm
