Weeping
In blushing as will hereafter be seen there is slight tendency in the eyes to water ie this if vy be formed is due to the rush of blood to all the adjoining surfaces, including the lacrymal glands; & this supports ─ the view of of gorging with blood.
The lacrymal gland will partake of the rush of blood to all adjoining surface of face neck & ear & retina, & brain
