Two quack doctors (left) are having a heated altercation in a street or square outside their respective houses. From the corner of a house on the left hangs a sign, "Dr Walker's veritable antiscorbutic Pills. Beware of Impostors". From the house on the right. a sign projects, "True antiscorbutic Pills". The doctors wear large wigs and swords, and carry three-cornered hats. One (left) holds in his hand a medicine-bottle; behind them are two dogs fighting. Their wives (right) are fighting violently; one (left) has seized the other by the hair and is kicking her. Behind them (right) two cats with arched backs are spitting at each other.
