Verse

Gelsemium,-Thou drowsy sprite!
In fevers showing thy delight.
An intermittent type thy gem,
With drowsy chill at 4 p. m.
And night sweat with a pimpled skin,
To measles showing closest kin.
There may be hiccough to sustain,
Or vaginismus in thy train,
Or local spasm-Tetanus-
Convulsions or paralysis.
With drooping lids, and urine drip,
And check to swallowing a sip.
With vision blurred and vertigo,
And headache eased by urine flow.
Numb tongue, and heart that seems to need
That one should move to give it speed.
By seeking much to be alone,
Thy worriment of mind is shown.
Whilst in thy stomach seems to sit
A death-like goneness at the pit.
The while thy suffering wife sustains,
False labor, and sore after pains.
