Sordes collect about the teeth and lips, and the surface exhales a peculiar odor.

The pulse becomes more feeble and frequent; the tongue is not only excessively dry and brown, but shrivelled and fissured; the lips and teeth are encrusted with sordes; the stools contain shreds of membrane, and often blood; the subsultus tendinum increases; carphololgia, or picking at the bed-clothes, occurs.
