Bromium brom.
Mnemonic names
Brom. / (Brother.) / Broker.
Verse
Bromine,-We to thee assign,
Place with Sponge and Iodine,
As in goitre, hoarseness, croup,
Or a chest catarrhal group,
With a voice entirely gone,
Or a low and feeble one.
Thine though, as a special test,
Is a coldness in the chest.
Rawness, too, wherewith we note,
Pressure inward at the throat.
Of thy wife, we stop to say,
Wind, or shreds of membrane, may
During menses pass away.
Piles, and black stools, may obtain,
And perchance they testes pain.
Left side worse, and worse at night-
Motion giving some respite.
