In this position he IS able to grasp the free end of the tongue and by digital palpation to examine the tongue itself, the gums, the free portions of the frsnum linguffi, etc. If he discovers cysts, the diagnosis is confirmed, but failure to do so.

For these reasons intra-fitam examination alone is now discounted, and the chief reliance is placed on post-mortem search. Prognosis. The prognosis is very grave, not on account of danger to the lives of the infected, but because infected meat may be offered for human consumption.
