Description

Watercolour drawing of a raw and excoriated tongue. The condition appeared to be in part due to dyspepsia. The patient was a boy. There was a sore place at the corner of the mouth, which looked as if it might have been due to secondary syphilis, but there was no other sign or history of syphilis. Out-patient Department, June 1884.
