Six scenes narrating the fuss caused by a man's progression from minor cold to supposed major illness and then sudden recovery. The man's initial plea for nursing with his cold leads onto the summoning of a doctor and procurement of an abundance of potions. The terminal illness which seems to develop throws the houshold into grief-stricken turmoil and the doctors into confusion. The patients miraculous recovery naturally surprises everyone. Above the scenes is a skeleton emerging from a doctors' hat holding a cane and medicine bottle

A doctor and nurse prescribing new medicines for their patient; representing Britain under a new government. The doctor (Peel) holding a medicine bottle labelled: "New tariff" says: "Come take it off like a man! Its the only remedy for your complaint, I have mixed you something very nice to wash it down." The nurse (Wellington) adds: "Come Johnny there's no use making wry faces, you know you must swallow it." John Bull holding a cup inscribed: "Income tax" retorts: "It's a great deal nastier than Dr. Russell's physic." Lying discarded on the floor are a bottle of medicine labelled; "Russell purge" and a container inscribed: "Barings pills."

"John Bull, fat and faint, lies back in an arm-chair with a deal table before him, left foot on cushion; he is in shirt and breeches. Round him are three doctors: Wellington (left), with the over-sleeve of a surgeon, holds a bayonet with which he is about to bleed the right arm over a bucket inscribed 'Pure British'. Peel (right), more insinuatingly, proffers a large bolus. Behind John's chair stands the King, saying, 'Patience Johnny'. Wellington, who wears blue frock-coat and white trousers, looks down at the patient through spectacles; he says: 'Come, Mr Bull, you are very plethoric--it is absolutely necessary that I phlebotomise you--you have a determination of blood to the head with strong symptoms of Choler!!!' Peel: 'Come, John, you must take this anodyne pill,--it will compose you "The ulcerous parts are only peel & skin I whilst deep corruption's mining all within" Pope' [sic]. On the table are a large pill-box inscribed 'Musket Balls', and a bottle labelled 'Black Dose Bitters' which stand on a paper: 'Prescription Taxation Decline of Trade National debt Want of Free Trade &c &c &c &c'.

B.'s dog (right) angrily befouls a chest inscribed 'Medecines Wise remedies Property Tax'."--British Museum online catalogue

Three London scenes: a man being cajoled by two prostitutes, a young man being accosted by two debt-collectors, and a physician attending a patient. In the left scene, the man stands outside a tavern with its fascia lettered "Cordials & compounds" and "Hodg[son's] best", i.e. ale brewed by George Hodgson (and subsequently Mark and Frederick Hodgson) at the Bow Brewery in London: the brewery was rebuilt and enlarged in 1821. The prostitute on the left holds his wallet concealed in her muff while the one on the right tries to steal his fobwatch. A burning gas light on the left indicates night. In the right scene, the moribund patient wearing a nightgown and nightcap sits in an armchair on casters next to the bed, while the physician (a thin elderly bald man in a black suit) looks at him intently from the next chair, and an old nurse stands nearby; medicine bottles on the mantlepiece behind
