Hyper. / John.

Verse

Hypericum,-The prize deserves,
For injuries that hurt the nerves.
That cause convulsions, or perchance
May paralyze a nervous branch.
Perhaps no surer cure is known,
For tetanus, than is this one.
A crush, a pinch, a prick, a bite,
Or fall, may so the nerves excite.
A fall upon the back may be
-Because of spinal injury-
Pervading tissues of the brain.
A cause of asthma, cough, or pain,
Or stay of power to walk or stand,
Or hold extrements in command.
The pains that follow in the wake
Of amputation, or betake
Themselves to scars of wounds long healed,
To this potential drug will yield.
As also leucorrhoeal flow,
That with a little girl may show.
The patient craves hot potions, and
Holds pickles in supreme demand.
