Verse

Hepar,-Thine an inflammation,
In the suppurative stage.
All the parts affected tender,
Every nerve upon the edge.
In the brain one side, a pressing
Line therein a peg or nail.
And while crusts beset the eyelids,
Ulcer spects the balls assail.
From thy ears foul pus discharges,
Whilst a scurf is on them seen;
From the nose flows fetid mucus,
Yet the sense of smell is keen.
Bones of nose and face are tender,
Swollen is the upper lip,
Mouth replete with angry ulcers,
Teeth ache from cold water sip.
In thy throat is felt a feeling
Like a splinter, or a plug;
And thy tender stomach suffers,
When the clothes fit close and smug.
Apetite that craveth acids,
Abdomen distented tight;
Stools, though soft, of tardy passage,
Odor sour- color light.
Tardy start when passing urine,
Dribbling after flowing vent;
Urine burning-bloody-milky,
Having whitish sediment.
Weakness in the chest and hoarseness,
Cough induced when any part
Feels a touch of cold exposure,
Or from victuals cold will start.
Glands affected-swollen, tender,
Pain as from a bruise or boil;
Or as from a dislocation,
Fainting from a touch-recoil.
Skin unhealthy-scratches fester,
Ulcers tender, burn and bleed.
Humid tetter and eczema
Into pimple crops proceed.
Ever chilly-need of wrapping
When exposed to open air.
Sweating from the least exertion,
Smelling sour everywhere.
Chancres, and excoriations,
On the genitals behold;
Ulcerations, itching, burning,
With the scent of cheese, when old.
Worse at night, and in the morning,
During sleep, and in the cold,
Better during mid-day hours,
And in wrappings warming fold.
