Con. / (Old.) / The Consul.

Verse

Conium, with age advancing,
Thou art tremulous and weak,
Finding as thy memory faileth
Mind employment vain to seek.
Giddy thou in bed on turning,
Dizzy oft with dazzled sight,
Drooping lids, and feeble vision
Coupled with a dread of light.
Trembling after defecation
Urine stopping in its flow.
Hath a wife, whose breasts are tender
Just before the monthly show.
Womb and ovary indurated,
Carcinoma of the breast,
Asthma that affects the aged,
Cough on lying down to rest.
Dark peechae of old people,
Liver spots upon the skin,
Ailments caused by gland contusion,
Whence orchitis may set in.
Sick and faint in early morning,
Ebbing low the vital springs,
Worse when resting,- better walking,
Craving salt and acid things.
