Kali Iodatum kali-i.
Mnemonic names
Kal. i. / The "Kid".
Verse
Kali iodide is the
Antidote to Mercury-
And to Syphilis a foe,
Wheresoe'er its signs may show.
There may be an inflammation
In the throat with ulceration,
Or in the bones a nightly pain,
Or be water on the brain,
Or eruptions on the skin,
Or secretions foul and green,
Or a rawness in the chest,
Or deep stitches where expressed.
Or be Asthma,-even such
As Hay fever holds in clutch.
Gnawing pain-or swollen bone,
Or be jumping tendons shown.
All ailments worse at night,
Warmth affording some respite.
