"Distraught customers besiege an apothecary's counter. A fat man pounds with a pestle in a mortar; a dandified shopman serves; another, with a knowing wink, takes a canister from a shelf. A boy holds out a coin: 'I wants a pennorth O Camphor'. A man with a bottle demands 'Spirits of Wine and mustard'. A woman says 'I feel very poorly'. A man and a woman both call for 'Camphor' and a man with a jug says 'Soap Sir'. (For the cholera epidemic see British Museum Satires No. 16922, &c.)"--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside a large apothecary's shop, both windows filled with large coloured jars. Above the door is the sign, a terrestrial globe on which scales are balanced. Outside, a doctor in old-fashioned dress, acts as usher with a long wand to a band of naked infants (left) who run eagerly towards him. In the jars fœtuses are indicated. Outside the other window stands an undertaker holding up his professional staff and doffing a hat draped with a mourning scarf towards a skeleton who advances from the background (right). Behind the skeleton is a church among trees."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Four grotesque men, all crippled or deformed, are in a row before a set of druggist's shelves headed 'Staats Apotheek'. Those on the extreme left and right stand, the others sit. A knock-kneed hunchback (left), smoking a long pipe, the smoke inscribed 'Hellebr . . .', holds a paper: 'Recipe'. A ragged and lame National Guard picks the pocket of his neighbour. Above the shelves, and forming the apex of the design, a fury, Discord, with snaky locks, leans from clouds, holding a flaming sword and looking down threateningly at the conference. On the top shelf are a 'Guillotine' and a bull, 'Phalaris', a block inscribed 'Menschen lief de' next a gallows, a demon. Below are bottles: 'Quint Ess: de Robespierr, Sel de Marat, Recipes en Assignaten [see British Museum Satires No. 8849], Rotten gift [poison for mice], Alb: Graec:' On the wall hang a sword and shackles.
