The causes of Blushing.

The physiology of blushing has long
presented a difficult problem to solve
Many unsatisfactory explanations
have been given of the causes of that
interesting phenomenon. The British
Medical Journal lately received an
inquiry as to the measures to be taken
for the cure Of chronic tendency to
blush, and one of its correspondent is
takes up the matter in a very placti-
cal way. Among other couses of
blushing he gives prominence ito the
wearing of too thick undercloths and
especially of too thick socks. He
adds that long-sleeved wooden sacks
or jerseys are often cause of blush
ing and, in fact, warm clothing in
general. He does not fail to remark
that the blusher must choose in this
matter between the risk of rheuma-
tism and the annoyance of blushing.
AS collateral evidence in support of
his views he says. IAN aunt fmine
had habitually a red nose from this
cause alone, which disappeared when
she took the thinner stockings.
Regarding the matter from a social
sldllu- punt, tIt WIItef says. he
best plan for an habitual blush is to
laugh and be very gushing, as, for
instance, on meeting an acquaintance
in the street, when he colors up, and
he will then feel more at his ease
than if he looks sheepish and reserv-
ed. -
An obvious cause for blusbing is
over sensihvness and self-conscious-
ness, which will wear away as the
person becomes used to society and
strengthens mis- character by adopt
ing wise principles of thoughts and
action. The physiological explana
ton of blushing by the writer just
quoted, is that it is due to paralysis OF
the sympathetic circles of nerves sur
rounding the arteries, which, mo-
contracting properly allow a freel
flow of blood TO the surface.
