A medicine vendor kneeling and praying. Doctor Rock (Richard Rock 1690-1777) was an itinerant medicine vendor who frequented the London areas of St. Pauls and Covent Garden. He was famous for his "anti-venereal, grand, specifick pill". He was satirised in several caricatures: W. Hogarth represented him in A harlot's progress pl. V; The march to Finchley; and The four times of the day, morning and "A fashionably-dressed man kneels in profile to the left at a large chest of 'Patent Medecines', on which is a duck with the inscription 'Quack. Quack. Quack' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 5766]. A hanging candelabra and a festooned curtain indicate wealth. He prays to the shade of Dr. Rock, describes the composition of his famous Vegetable Drops, and asks for the continuance of 'my Carriages and Equipage, my Town and Country Residence, and all other good things of this life ...'."--British Museum online catalogue

"A sickly goose, lying in an armchair, surrounded by anthropomorphic pill bottles, medicine bottles of other remedies, each recommending themself as the cure."--British Museum online catalogue and Vendors of various types of remedies consulting about a patient; the vendors represented by their respective treatments and the patient by a goose. A bottle says: "I think the poor goose requires a little of Godfrey's cordial", another bottle says: "a bottle of balm of Gilead would revive him." A water pump is suggesting: "I should recommend him to sleep in wet sheets & drink three gallons of pump water daily" a pill says: "let him have a dozen boxes of Blairs gout pills, & put his drumsticks in hot water." A bottle of ointment says: "His case is exactly like the Earl of Aldborough's so nothing can cure him but Holloway's ointment & pills", an old man says: "Parrs life pills I see are the only things that can save him." Another bottle of pills replies: "Life pills! Vegetable pills you mean, let him be well stuffed with Morison's no.1 & 2." A minute man on top of a book entitled "homeopathy" says: "it's cholera clearly and I should prescribe a little unripe fruit - the millonth part of a green gooseberry."
