(POISON IVY)
Rheumatism chronic, or coming with Fever,
Having for cause, cool, damp, rainy weather,
Usually pains are aching and tearing,
Sleepless and anxious, his strength quickly wearing;
Typhoid too, with symptoms just said
On The Tip Of The Tongue a Triangular red,
Excitement of body, “he cannot keep still”
Inaction of mind, “he is stupid and dull”;
Continuous motion will lessen the pain,
On midnight’s arrival it augments again.
During rest and damp weather affections are worse,
exposure to rain may the troubles induce.
