"Upon my secure hour thy uncle stole
With juice of cursed hebona in a vial,
And in the porches of my ear did pour
The leperous distilment, whose effect
Holds such an enmity with blood of man
That swift as quicksilver it courses through
The natural gates and alleys of the body..."
That's very close to what I remember. In Russian it was called "belena" plant.
So, what's the deal with the thermometers?

The mercury thermometer was invented by Toricelli in 1644 (after Hamlet). Before that, they were water and glass. Maybe she wanted him to eat the glass and die of internal hemorrhages.
