"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.

"The Knave of Clubs, 'Pam', sits in state in a ramshackle attic, one foot resting regally on a footstool. He is faint-hearted and melancholy and turns to a dapper little man (Sir Walter Stirling) at his right hand, who is supported by the Devil. He says: "I'm going to Hastings give me some Sterling No Tokens." Stirling, who holds an open book and is prompted by the Devil, says: "Let Us Pray," with a cynical smile. The Devil says: "Honestly if you Can?!!--but get Money." A hideous old woman, grotesque and ragged, offers him a glass, saying, "Try if Brandy won't save you." Behind the Devil, and on the extreme left, stands a burlesqued, knock-kneed lawyer, closing one eye in a cynical grimace; he holds a large pen and a paper headed 'The Last Will & Testement [sic] of Pam'. The room has the signs of squalor characteristic of the period: bricks showing through broken plaster, raftered roof, check bed-curtains, a broken chair, with broken jug and plate on the floor. Ragged stockings and a night-cap, &c. hang from a string across the fireplace (right), and on the mantelshelf are a candle in a bottle, a saucepan, medicine-bottle, teapot, and cup. Above it are a gallows broadside, and a print of a seated demon holding a small pair of scales."--British Museum online catalogue

"The interior of the shop of an apothecary or quack medicine vendor. Three persons have entered (left): the Duchess of Devonshire stands full-face offering the apothecary (right) a purse, while she holds out her right hand to Fox who stands beside and slightly behind her. She says, "His Tail restore, You shall have more". The apothecary, standing in profile to the left, takes the purse saying, "My Famous Pills cure many Ills". He is well dressed and wears a doctor's tie-wig. Fox puts his left hand to his forehead with a distressed expression; under his foot is a paper inscribed 'Dr Leakes Antivanerial Drops'. A lady standing behind Fox, her hands in a muff, says, "Oh poor Fox will Loose fits tail". Behind the apothecary is the shop-window with a counter in front of it. On the counter are two small phials, each labelled Mr Fox, and a pill-box, besides glass jars. In the window are displayed glass bottles of various shapes filled with coloured liquids. (Advertisements of Dr. Leake's pills and drops were frequent in the newspapers and were posted as bills, cf. BMSat 6540.) The duchess wears a 'Fox' favour in her hat which is trimmed with a fox's brush and three ostrich feathers, worn as an emblem of the interest taken by the Prince of Wales in the election. 'Westminster Election', p. 327. Her companion wears a fox's brush in her hat.."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a variant state
