Thuj. / (1st T-Arbor.) / The Thug.

Verse

Thuja,-When we have suppression,
Of a gonorrhoeal flow;
And the evils, that so often
Out of vaccination grow.
When we see the fig wart flourish,
See the growing fungus shoots;
See the hair a mass of tangle,
Teeth decaying at the roots.
When a vertigo assails us,
On the closing of our eyes'
And our body seeming brittle,
Breakable by exercise.
When our sweat is fetid-sour,
Flesh feels beaten from the bones;
And at night from heat of bedding,
We are tortured into groans.
When our eyes are dry and scaly,
And our ears discharging pus;
Then we think of Arbor vitae,
As an angel sent to us.
