Baptisia Tinctoria bapt.
Mnemonic names
Bap. / Baptist.
Verse
Baptisia truly means decay,
Means putrefaction in every way,
A putrid throat, and parts below,
A putrid stool, and mucous flow.
Is prime in Phthisis, and Typhoid,
In small-pox, too, and varioloid.
Now, when we note besotted face,
With drowsy heat, and weariness,
And waking breathless- must have air-
And bruise-like feeling hard to bear;
Ah! then we need Baptisia there.
