Flu oral bus

[Lat., white flower.] ( Med.) A mucous discharge from the vagina and uterus; the whites. In general, this is an affection the result of weakne , general and local, and should be treated by cold bathing, the douche, friction with the flesh-brush, tonics, wine, and an astringent lotion used as an injection.

The port is extensive, safe, and has deep water. It has an extensive trade with both E. and W. Indies, and was the birthplace of Admiral De Ruyter. Pop . (1895) 8,890. Flush'ing, in Michigan , a post-township of Genese county. Flushing, in New York , the former name of a post village and township of Queens co., bordering on Long Island sound. Now part of Greater New York. Flushing, in Ohio , a post-village and township of Belmont co., about 10 miles N.W. of St. Clairsville; in a farming and coal region. Pop . (1897) about 1,000. Flushing, in Pennsylvania , a village of Bucks co., on Neshaminy Creek, about 20 miles N.E. of Philadelphia. Flush'ingly, adv . In a flushing manner. Flush'ne , n. Freshne . Flus'ter, v . a .

To be in an undue hurry, bustle, or heat; to be agitated. Fluorescence, n . The peculiar self-luminous appear-n.

Fluorescent Rays. ( Optics .) Certain rays that exist beyond the violet end of the spectrum, invisible under ordinary circumstances. If the prismatic spectrum be interrupted by a bath of esculin or sulphate of quinine, it will appear elongated at the violet end. The fluorescent rays are those that have the greatest actinic influence. Fluoric Acid, n. (Chem.) See HYDROFLUORIC ACID. Fluorine, n. (Chem.) The hypothetical base of the fluorides and hydrofluoric acid properties have never been satisfactorily determined. Its components so closely resemble those of chlorine that but little doubt is entertained of its being very similar to that body in its leading characteristics. Symbol F; equivalent 19. Compounds containing F. can be easily decomposed and the element transferred from one body to another, but the extraordinary energy with which it combines with the metals and with silicon, a constituent of gla , have defeated attempts to obtain it in a pure state. Its prin- cipal compounds are fluor or fluor - spar , and hydrofluoric acid (q. v.). It also combines with most of the metals; also with boron, silicon, sulphur, silenium and phosphor-ly, and show no little activity, a hurry, bustle, or confusion; undue agitation. (Colloq.) Flus'tra, n. [A. S. flustrian , to weave.] ( Zool .) A gen. of Zoophytes, family Alcyonidæ , so called from the mat like structure of the polypidoms, which in this gen. ar extremely plant-like, and by unscientific observers are generally regarded as belonging to the vegetable, and not to the animal kingdom. In some species, the poly- pidom a umes the appearance of a branching frond with polype cells either on one side only, or on both sides; in others, it extends as an incrus- tation on rocks, shells, sea- weeds, . The polype cells are arranged quincuncially, and are in juxtaposition, more or le quadrangular, flat, and with a distinct border, which is sometimes furnished with teeth or short spines. The polypes have the power of mov- ing either the whole head at once, or the tentacles separate- ous. No combination of F. and oxigen is known to exist. It is found somewhat sparingly in the mineral kingom, in fluor-spar, topaz, some varieties of apatite and a few other minerals. It also exists in the ashes of sea-plants, sea-water, blood, milk and the human teeth. With boron and silicon it forms two compounds, which are absorbed by water, giving rise respectively to borofluoric and hydrofluoric acids (q.v.). In June, 1897, it was liquefied by Prof. Dewar at -185°C. The result was a yellow, mobile liquid, which had lost chemical activity. Flu'orous, a. Pertaining to, or obtained from fluor. Fluosilicate, n. [Fr., from Lat. fluor , and silicon , q. v.] ( Chem .) A compound of fluosilicic acid and a base. Fluosilicic, a. [Fr. fluosilicique .] (Chem.) Containing fluoric acid with silex. Fluosilic'ic Acid, n. ( Chem .) See HYDROFLUOSILICIC aCID. Flur'ry, n. [Probably a corruption of FLUTTER, q. v.] A sudden blast or gust of wind; a light, temporary breeze. "The boat was overset by a sudden Aurry from the north." Swift. - Violent agitation; bustle; hurry; commotion; as, " this news threw her into a flurry ." - Swift. -v. a. To put in agitation; to excite or alarm. Flush, v. n. [A. Š. fleotan , to float; Ger. flie en , to flow, akin to Lat. fluere.] To flow and spread suddenly; to rush; as, the blood flushes into the face. - To come in haste; to start. ( B. Jonson.) - To become suffused; to turn red; to blush. -v.a. To cause the blood to flow or rise suddenly into the face; to put to the blush; as, "to flush the cheek with shame." - To redden suddenly; to cause to glow.To elate; to elevate; to raise the spirits of; to animate with joy; as, " flushed with great victories and succe es." - To cause to start; as, to flush a covey of birds. To flush up joints. (Masonry.) To fill the interstices in, level, or flush with the rest of the work. Flush, n . A sudden flow of blood to the face; or more generally, the redne resulting from such an afflux of blood; a blush; a bloom. - Sudden impulse, glow, or excitement. A stream of water suddenly thrown on, for cleansing. - A hand of cards in which all are of the same suit. Flowing; affluent; abounding; well furnished; as, flush of money.

A combination of flu- oric and phosphoric acids with a base. - Fresh; full of vigor; glowing. -Consisting of cards of the same suit throughout. ( Arch .) The continuance in the same plane of the surfaces of two contiguous bodies is expre ed by saying that they are flush ; this is irrespective of the direction of the fibres or grain. ( Naut .) Applied to the deck of a ship, when it extends without break from stem to stern, as in a frigate. Flush, adv . In a manner so as to be even or level with. Flushed', p. a. Elated; excited; animated; - tinged with a red color, from the flow of blood to the face. Flush'er, n . ( Zool .)
