Abstract:
Central scene shows rivalry between doctors and their respective quack remedies. A patient sits helplessly in a chair while proponents of different medicines brawl with each other, overturning tables and chairs. Beneath are a comic strip and a further six comic episodes. The scenes below show 'a few specimens of the public in general!!', while the six scenes at the bottom begin with a fat woman tending pots at a stove, 'Ruling the roost', and end with a black boxer in 'Drama. The miller & his men' and Each scene is subtitled starting top with 'sudden breaking up of a consultation' and ending bottom right with 'Drama. The miller & his men'. There is numerous lettering in the main central scene including top left: 'I say the man is in the last stage of consumption thro' a too frequent supply of Morrison's Pills instead of Leakes sillybrated pills, which would have saved his life'. In response another salesman replies: 'It's false fellow the 'vegetables' rallied him but taking a box of your rubbish afterwards threw him back'. Another vendor exclaims: 'You have completely ruin'd the patient with your vile sovereign remedies in short you've kill'd him - then he can't swallow any more of your patent quack medicines.- You have totally deprived him of his sense of hearing - then he won't hear your gammon in the shape of advice - you have destoryed his olfactory nerves - then he wont be able to smell your horrid physic - you have glinded him with your deadly narcotics - then he can't see any more of your imposing long bills - you have deprived him of his speech - then he can't call you a humbug - in short Dr Long you have destroyed all his organs of sense - then you can no longer play upon his credibility'. Other doctors mentioned in the lettering include 'Dr Jardan and his universal balm' and 'Dr Solomons' (Dr Samuel Solomon, inventor of the Balm of Gilead).

James Morison promoting his alternative medicines; satirised by five vignettes of a fox among geese. The central image is that of a street scene outside the London and British Colleges of Health: James Morison is presented as a fox standing on a box of 'Universal vegetable pills' surrounded by geese, who represent the public; he says "My 'Universal pills' are quite divine! If one don't do, you may take nine." and "Various humorous images of foxes and geese comprising (clock-wise from top left); a fox dressed as an eighteenth century fop offering a glass to a goose wearing a bonnet; a fox butcher, standing outside his shop and offering a dead goose to a vixen dressed in a shawl and bonnet, other poultry hanging outside; a fox in militray uniform and playing on a drum, leading a column of geese; a fox preaching to a congregation of geese; the large central image; a fox in a smart tailcoat advertising his 'Universal Vegetable Pills' to an interested gathering of geese; the 'British College of Health' and the 'London College of Health' beyond, the latter with two well-dressed foxes drinking on a balcony, observed by a crowd of geese (lettered below image "The Fox and Goose"; a short poem or song following)."--British Museum online catalogue
