"An ugly elderly man, emaciated but paunchy, stands in profile to the left, head thrown back, in the effort to swallow. His right fingers are crisped as he throws over his left shoulder the contents of a tumbler. He wears night-cap, dressing-gown, and slippers, with unbuttoned garments and stockings festooning his legs. He faces a smouldering fire. The small chimney-piece is covered with medicine-bottles; above it hangs a cracked mirror. A torn hearth-rug, minute tripod washstand with broken jug, and a truckle-bed in disorder heighten the picture of sordid discomfort, but the impression is conveyed that this is due to feckless neglect rather than poverty. Under the bed a mouse scampers off. Beside it is a candle covered with extinguisher."--British Museum online catalogue

Print shows a hideous old maid standing at right before her chair, supported on a crutched stick, as she addresses a comic doctor at left, who faces her, much disconcerted, with his gold-headed cane pressed to his chin. Her dress is antiquated, with high-heeled shoes; one foot is swollen with "Gout", the other with "Chilblains", and is also distorted with "Corns". Her person and costume are covered with the names of diseases in appropriate places: "Lightness" (on a feather nodding from her head), "Head Ache", "Stupor", "Dizziness", "Palsy", "Ague", "Sore Throat", "St Vit. Dance", "Asthma", . etc. Medicine bottles on a table beside her are labelled "Miss Grunt" and "T- Grunt". A little dog, shaved in the French manner, barks at the doctor. The room is a comfortably furnished parlour, with an iron balcony outside a window reaching to the floor, with a background of trees

"The invalid, unshaven, in a nightcap, and wearing a dressing-gown over unfastened waistcoat, breeches, and ungartered stockings, stands as in British Museum Satires No. 9584, grimacing with disgust at a cup of medicine, the bottle in his left hand.
