I fear that nothing can be done to
cure the habit, for the blood Is always
more or less noticeable in the faces OF
chronic flushing is probably due 20 a
nervous temperament, which cannot be
overcome. One comforting thought you
may have is that as you grow older the
color will be leSsened, and at q later

such a touch OF beauty.
