To cure--restore the balance of exhalants and absorbents,
With squill, blue-pill, and other means to soothe the patient's
torments.
GRINDER.

STUDENT.
Way, no,--I'd then with caution tap--when first I'd tied the knocker.
Sing hey! sing ho! if you cannot find a new plan,

TYMPANITIS.
The swelling here is different--sonorous, tense, elastic;
On it you might a tattoo beat, with fingers or with a stick.
There's costiveness and atrophy, with features Hippocratic;
When these appear, there's much to fear, all safety is erratic.
Although a cordial laxative, mix'd up with some carminative,
Might be prescribed, with morphia, or hops, to keep the man alive;
Take care his diet's nutritive, avoiding food that's flatulent,
And each week let him have a dose of Punch from Mr. Bryant sent.
Sing hey! sing ho! &c.
