Description

Watercolour drawing showing the fore-part of the tongue of a young woman suffering from lupus. Almost the whole tip of the tongue had been destroyed by the disease, which had commenced on the face and slowly spread to the lips and tongue. She said she had been constantly in the habit of licking the sore lips with the tip of the tongue.
