>An intriguing list.
Me, I always feel worried by prescriptive lists, especially concerning
such delicate and multifarious organisms as poems: after all, I know of
wonderful poems that break all these rules. Neverthless, I confess a
fascination with purgatives, simples, decoctions, plasters, spells and
other things absorbed through the skin or taken by mouth etc for the
efficacious treatments of distempers, catarrhs and wonky vapours...
