Platinum Metallicum plat.
Mnemonic names
Plat. / Plato.
Verse
Platinum,-'Tis less of thee-
Sing we, than of Mrs. P.
As we check off this notation-
Numbness, tightness, formication.
Pains neuralgic, spasms, twitching,
Tender vulva, sore and itching.
Spells hysterical with choking,
Peevishness with snarls provoking.
Paralytic ills in process,
Syphilitic taint-sycosis.
Stools like muddy clay adhering,
Menses flush, too soon appearing.
Comfort finding some promotion
From the open air, and motion.
