Verse

Apocynum, To thee we come,
In case of Haemorrhage from the Womb,
or when Amenorrhoea, note,
Attend with abdominal bloat.
To thee we also often come,
In case of Martyrdom to rum.
For dropsy, chronic or acute,
Most apt thou art, the case to suit.
Whilst we perchance may hold in view,
The Eupatorium purpu.
Both standing in the foremost place,
As general Dropsy's Curing brace.
