Phosphorus phos.

Pho. / (2nd P.) / Philip.

Phosphorus, - Thy pleading tongue,
Speaks of soreness in the lung.
And of tightness in the chest,
With pneumonia in attest.
Asthma, hoarseness, loss of voice,
Cough, and croup thy primal choice.
Loss of blood and bloody slime,
Sounds thy key-note every time.
Blood and water on the brain,
Bloody perspiration stain,
Bloody ulcer, bloody stool,
Bloody sputum, bloody drool.
Oft thy ills show indication
Of a spinal irritation;
Such as tremor, petit mal,
Nervous spells hysterical,
Brain exhaustion, paresis,
Failing vision, caused by this,
To which enervating sway
He may add ataxia.
Death-door state may mark thy hold,
Drenching perspiration cold,
Night and early morning sweat,
As in phthisis every met.
Pains neuralgic on the scout,
Pains rheumatic - pains of gout.
Also pains that numbing come
In the periosteum;
With destructive purpose shown,
By a caries of the bone.
On thy skin we see deployed
Measles, shingles, varioloid.
Thou hast vagaries of mind,
Of a melancholic kind,
Or clairvoyance, or a sway
Of erotomania.
Sleeplessness, or in thy sleep
Some somnambulistic freak.
After sleep a sense of ease,
In the night a hunger tease;
Cold must be thy food and drink,
From all sweets thou needs must shrink.
