e u . Monitor That Registers Your
Physical Condition.
One OF the iirst things doctor does
when be Il called TO q patient Is to
look into his mouth. That Is because
examine an internal cavity of the body
and observe the signs of health or dis
ease there displayed. The mouth Is
lined with mucous membrane. which is
quickly affected by many disorders.
and the tongue. which is simply mass

brane Is a veritable horizontal guide

Since 1t Is a muscle its general size

and the state of the mucous membrane
that covers 1t indicates the general
systemic condition. A person who suf-
fers from fever of any degree will
generally show a ''furred" tongue. The
word graphically describes the condi
ton. and It is not necessary to be a
physician In order to recognize 1t.
In long continued fever like ty-
phoid the fur accumulates until the
tongue is covered with u thick. brown
mass that shades of to a lighter tint
at the edges. In scarlet fever the
tongue is often covered with white
fur dotted with little red points. That
is called the ''stra wberry" tongue.
When the stomach is badly out of con
dition the tongue shows thick white
or brown fur and those who are suffer

patches raised above the surface and
although not serious in itself generally
shows that the constitution is weak.
One strange thing about the tongue
is that. although it SO often betrays the
state of the stomach to the physician
yet in two of the most serious stomach
troub!es-cancer and gastric ulcer-the
tongue is generally very clean.
