Mercurius Vivus merc.

Mer. / (1st M.) / Merchant

Mercury, - Thou ghoul of night!
Ulceration thy delight.
Fetid breath, and salivation,
Thy unfailing indication.
Thine a flurried mind and speech,
Memory failing in her reach.
Head in motion, side to side,
Aching as in cordage tied,
Scalp in foul eruption's clutch,
Sore and painful to the touch.
Eyes in suppurating plight,
Dim of vision, dreading light.
Nostrils sore, that dripping keep,
Epistaxis during sleep.
Face of pale and earthy cast,
Jaw by spasm tightened fast.
Mouth with ulcers sorely set,
Slobber, making the pillow wet.
Bleeding gums, and teeth all black,
Toothache nightly in attack.
Tongue raw, red, or white, presented,
Flabby, and by teeth indented.
Throat beset with inflammation
Leading on to suppuration.
When the drink in swallowing goes
Up and outward through the nose.
Rawness in the tracheal track,
Cough with stitches in the back.
Palpations of the heart,
From exertion prone to start.
Abdomen distended, hard,
Sore when pressed upon, or jarred.
Stools of mucus - bloody - green,
Leagued with shudders in between.
Or with straining- "ne'er get through,"
Sometimes bringing worms to view.
Urine flow in frequent calls,
Burning in the channel walls.
Gonorrhoea, green or white,
Always running more at night.
Wife, with leucorrhoea green,
Rawness of the parts within,
With distressful itching turns,
That from rubbing smarts and burns.
Which cold water laving may
For a while allay.
And those breasts a soreness show,
Just before the menstrual flow.
Glands where'er their situation,
In a state of inflammation.
Bones too in similar plight,
Always aching more at night.
Bleeding ulcers - white within,
Nightly itching mar the skin.
Thine are trembling hands and feet,
With weariness complete.
Clammy sweats, that nightly drain,
Giving clothes a yellow stain.
No relief from perspiration,
Nay, - but rather aggravation.
All is worse at night, as said,
Worse at night when warm in bed.
