Verse

Rhododendron,-Like Rhus tox.
Dealeth in rheumatic stocks.
All his ailments feeling best
When in motion-worse by rest.
Also worse on cold, damp days,
And before a storm always.
Sprain-like pains betray his plots,
And attacks of pain in spots.
Bruise-like pains his testes feel,
Scrotum showing hydrocele.
