Mnemonic names
Hell. / (2nd H.) / Negro.
Verse
Helleborus,-May arrest,
Dropsy of the brain and chest.
Sudden dropsy suits him best.
Fils with rolling eyes upturned,
Shrieks and twitches are discerned.
Greedy drinking-gagging-chewing,
Show the evil he is doing.
Which to mania, may press,
Palsy or paralysis.
In the urine red, abounds
Sediment like coffee grounds.
Or the scanty pot shows flecks,
As of black and floating specks.
Chills and heat in alternation,
Of his trend, give intimation.
Worse by thinking of the pain,
P. M.- 4 to 8 - the same.
