A fat and bewigged dentist pokes at the mouth of a homely woman wearing a cap and low-cut dress. She is seated in a straight chair on a patterned carpet, with a large picture of a mouth and teeth hanging on the wall behind the pair. Beneath the title, text as follows: "I cures all the disorders of the mouth. I draws teeth in a minute without pain. I makes natural or artificial teeth & have invented a substance that answers the purpose of gums."
