Verse

Lachesis,-to thee we turn
When a blueness we discern
In affected parts; and when
Tenderness to touch we ken,
And distress from pressure on
Throat or womb or abdomen.
When we find with jealousy,
Proneness to loquacity.
Vertigo and aching head,
In the morning when in bed.
Sight beset with flickering haze,
Rings of blue and zigzag rays.
Earache whilst the throat is sore;
Toothache-after sleeping more.
Trembling tongue, in typhoid state,
Dry and black with sense of weight.
Throat inflammed, with choking, much
Worse by pressure and by touch.
Soreness moving left to right
(Lycopodium opposite).
In the empty stomach, aching,
Better after victuals taking.
In the anus urging, beating,
Burning piles, and stitches meeting.
Urine colored black and brown,
In the womb a bearing down
pain, relieved by flowing rife,
Or distress at change of like.
When occurreth smothering spells
Whilst asleep, the rest repels.
When the heart, a tight sensation
Feels, with pain, and palpitation.
When the skin show pimples blue,
Boils and ulcers similar hue.
Fungoid growth in sores obtain,
Wounds once healed break out again.
Spasms in full parade,
(Calling Mercury in to aid).
Chills beginning in the back,
Flushes nightly in attack.
Burning in the palms and soles,
Such as Sulphur, too, controls,
Worse on waking, and from all
Acid food and alcohol.
