Verse

Sepia,-How oft the ladies,
Look to thee in their distress;
When their wombs are sore and tender,
And prolapsing downward press.
And their menses out of order
Time and quantity not right;
Suffering, too, with leucorrhoea,
Showing yellow stain or white.
Having gloomy moods, with weeping
Or complete indifference;
Headache all the day with nausea,
Temple pains the most intense.
Watery eyes at morn and even,
Chafed with pressure as from sand;
Seeing speckles black or fiery,
Sore from walking in the wind.
Nose inflammed and sore and swollen,
Bleeding when the "Times" appear;
Face of yellow earthy color,
Toothache reaching to the ear.
Cough when lying down at even,
Cough with stitches in the side,
Cough with salty yellow sputum,
And with stifled breath allied.
Stomach tender, pit pulsating,
Empty feeling in the bowel;
Morning sickness, eructation
Tasting sour-bitter-foul.
Abdomen enlarged and tender,
Feeling heavy, pressing down;
Stitches in the liver region,
Face discolored, yellow, brown.
Stools like balls, with itching anus,
Stitches up the rectum sent;
Urine of a clay-like color
With a foul red sediment.
Heat in flushes, trembling faintness,
Sense of coldness round the head;
Nightly sweats, and sweats from motion,
Nightly wetting of the bed.
Sometimes eased by rapid motion,
Better in the open air;
Mostly worse at morn and even,
Worse when sitting on a chair.
