Verse

Argentum Met. employs his art,
On joint, and cartilage, gland and heart-
The joints are painful, tender, weak,
The neck glands swollen neath the cheek,
The Muscles twitch about the heart,
The Thorax pipes with rawness smart.
There may be chronic hoarseness, too,
And Cough with phelgm of pearly hue.
At night he has polluting drain,
His testes crushing pangs sustain.
At noon may come renewed attack,
By touch or lying on the back.
