Verse

Graphites,- Thy keynote appears,
In oozing rawness round the ears.
And in the creases of the skin,
Where rolls of fat are folded in.
And itching scabs, with watery base,
(Whilst Hepar scabs, show bloody trace.
And Mezereum scabs are dry,
And club-moss gives a scale supply).
Thy aching head, feels pithy-numb,-
Thy scalp is capped with scabby gum,
Thy eyes glued up, and canthi red,
Thy face with cobweb, feels o'erspread,
Thy tongue is blistered-nostrils sore,-
Thy sense of smell enhanced galore,
Thy ears molesting sounds attack,
Thy jaws when chewing grate and crack.
Thy abdomen is swollen,-tense,-
Thy knotted stools a dire offense,
Thy anus sore, prolapsed and cracked,
With burning haemorrhoids impacted.
Thy urine sediment is white,
Thy privates in oedemic plight.
Or damp with filthy sweat and sore,
Or spread with itching pimples o'er.
Thy ailments feminine may show
Pudendal itching, ere the "flow,"
And morning sickness at the date,
Of coming, which may be too late.
A leucorrhoea white, and thin,
Between the menses may set in.
An induration of a kind,
An inflammation leaves behind,
In ovary or mammary gland;
Or seen in cracked and hardened hand-
To all flesh food thou art averse,
And to all sweetmeats even worse.
Though better walking in the air,
A chilling wind thou canst not bear.
