Verse
Veratrum viride,-We find
Thy fevers are of a varied kind.
And every itis of thy fleet,
Attended with excessive heat,
And rapid pulse, with breathing slow,
And spasms of promiscuous show,
And mania that may obtain
From blood compression on the brain.
Pneumonia thou cutteth short,
Any bleeding of pulmonic sort.
With all thy enteric ails,
A tympanitic state prevails.
Thy tongue is yellow, with a shine
Of red along the central line.
Thy ailments worse on waking are,
From motion, sitting up and jar.
