Whether it is at all encrusted
The nose is now to be remarked. If it be moist or dry; and if dry, whether it is at all encrusted. The back of the hand or side of the cheek should be applied to the part to ascertain its temperature.
The lips should next be raised, and the state of their lining membrane, with the condition of the teeth, observed.
The jaws should then be separated, that the tongue may be seen sufficiently to note its color, and the breath smelt.
