Abstract: "Distraught customers besiege an apothecary's counter. A fat man pounds with a pestle in a mortar; a dandified shopman serves; another, with a knowing wink, takes a canister from a shelf. A boy holds out a coin: 'I wants a pennorth O Camphor'. A man with a bottle demands 'Spirits of Wine and mustard'. A woman says 'I feel very poorly'. A man and a woman both call for 'Camphor' and a man with a jug says 'Soap Sir'. (For the cholera epidemic see British Museum Satires No. 16922, &c.)"--British Museum online catalogue
