Chin. / (2d C.) / Chinaman.
Verse
China stands prepared to quell
All our ills malarial.
States of weakness-fever-pain-
On the periodic train.
Nightly drenching sweat he has,
Bloat from water, and from gas.
Gorged his liver is, and spleen,
Skin in tint of yellow green.
Sore his body, and o'ermuch
Sensitive to draught and touch.
Weakened by exhausting drain,
Dreads he work, with hand or brain.
Bursting head, and ringing ears,
Worse from heat of sun appears.
Septic state, and haemorrhage,
Is his doleful heritage.
Appetite to fat averse,
Eating, drinking, makes him worse.
