Tip of the tongue dry and burning.
Rectum and Anus
The most marked symptom noticed was a constant desire to go to stool; this symptom attended each attempt at proving Geranium; went to stool often, and each time found myself unable to pass the least fecal matter; one powder of the 2d would produce the continued desire for stool; this symptom continued for some time, and after the effects passed off, the bowels moved without pain or tenesmus; the stool natural and well lubricated; I should say, however, that one powder required hours for a passage.
