Mnemonic names

Hyos. / (X- a twin.) / Hyson

Verse

Hyoscyamus implies
Nervous agitation,
Furor, and erotic sighs,
Manic delusion.
Spasms, twitching, screaming spells,
Wild gesticulation.
Nightly coughing, that impels
Sitting for cessation.
Sleep disturbed by starts that show
Nervous agitation.
Typhoid fever-muttering-low
Picking at the bedding.
After eating, vomiting,
Black in case of typhus,
Passages unnoticing,
Or suppressed excretions.
Hiccough, choking, hurried speech,
Pupils much distended.
Things of memory out of reach,
All sensations ended.
Aggravation after meals,
Also when reclining,
Stooping some relief reveals,
And tobacco smoking.
