Abstract: "An elderly man, wearing a night-cap, sits in a chair yelling with terror and pain at the attacks of three demons. His swathed right leg is supported on a stool; a demon, 'Gout!' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9448], sits astride it, attacking it with a savage scourge and a spur. 'Rheumatism!' clutches the victim's left arm, and 'Catarrhe!' sits triumphantly astride his right shoulder. A large bottle beside his chair is labelled 'De Velno' [Velnos, a notorious quack remedy, see British Museum Satires No. 7592]. On a table are medicine-bottles, and on the ground two books: 'Munro on the Gout &c &c' and 'Buchan--Domestic Medicine'."--British Museum online catalogue
