Is the temperature of any prognostic value ? 



Yes ; in fevers, for instance, a steady decline denotes a favor- 

 able issue, while a rising temperature shows danger. Again, if it 

 remains high when it should fall, it is an unfavorable symptom. 



In regard to the indications for treatment, of what use 

 is the temperature ? 



If the temperature is very high, it calls for antipyretics, as 

 quinine, acetanilid, antipyrin, etc. On the other hand, if the 

 temperature is low, it calls for stimulants, as alcohol, ammonium 

 carbonate, etc. 



What benefit may be derived by the appearance of the 

 tongue and mucous membranes ? 



The general appearance of the visible mucous membranes is 

 very important and aids materially in making a diagnosis, in prog- 

 nosing, and in the treatment. 



What alterations may take place ? 



Alterations in color, principally. They may become paler than 

 normal in cases of anaemia ; increased redness in congestions or in- 

 flammations ; yellow in liver troubles; slate-color in glanders ; blu- 

 ish in chronic catarrh ; may show petechial spots, as in purpura. .
