- Abstract:
- Chatham sits in an arm-chair attended by doctors; he wears a night-cap, and over his uniform and boots a patterned dressing-gown and holds a copy of 'The Times' in his right hand. He looks up at a hideous doctor (left), who feels his pulse, holding a watch. The doctor says: "Your Pulse is going with uncommon Expedition indeed my Lord, you have too much Blood in you. you must lose a few Ounces". Chatham: "Don't mention that word [Expedition] again Doctor, it brings an [sic] a Flushing in my face, and sets me in a palpitation". On his other side stands Sir William Curtis proffering a steaming bowl of soup on a salver; in his pocket is a 'Plan for a Jollyfication on the 25 Octr 1809'. He says: "You'll find my Soup, is the best thing in the world for palpitations, it always cures me speedily and soon. I hope you'll be well enough to come to our Jollyfication on the 25th. On the extreme right stands a stout John Bull, a 'cit' holding his hat; he looks across at the doctor on the left, saying contemptuously, "Pho Pho! Doctor your wrong! its only a Flushing in the face. for D-----e if I think he has a bit of Blood in him". Behind Chatham is a 'Camp Convenience' or travelling commode under which lie his cocked hat and sword; on it is a book of 'Military Tactics'. On the wall is a 'Map of Walch[eren]', showing 'Flush[ing]' and one of 'Quiberon Bay', both partly obscured by steam from Curtis's soup. On the ground are two books: 'Jack the Giant Killer' and 'The Seven Sleepers'. The doctor's cocked hat, gloves, gold-headed cane, and a large volume, 'Pharma-copiæ' are on a chair (left), behind which are a small writing-table and curtained bed. After the title: 'In one thing only, thats the Fee, Doctors you'll find will er'e agree'.

- Abstract:
- "Sir William Curtis (left), grossly obese, wearing quasi-nautical dress, dines in the cabin of his yacht. The table is littered with wine-glasses; a dish contains a bare bone. Behind his chair is a pile of empty bottles. His broken pipe lies on the ground. He has a carbuncled nose, wears a small straw hat and striped trousers, with blue coat. He says to a servant who takes a bottle of wine from a large hamper: "John, I vonder if there ever vas since the Creation an Alderman possessed of so much courage as me (Zounds! what noise is that? Oh it's only the Vind,) to come to go into real earnest Danger, & all for one's pleasure! which is more than any other Officer in the whole of this here Fleet or Army can say, now there's your Seizures [Caesars], I thinks there were ten or a Dozen on 'em, then there's your Pitolomies & Cannibles & Poly-buss's & Eckserkses [Xerxes's] and all the rest of the bunch of Roman Generals -you never reads of any Alderman going out in any of their Exhibitions! no more Lord Mayors neither! & thats a bold word to say, now John we must 'bout Ship Speedy & soon ...for we dont know but one of Bonyparts D-d Bullets may get in to one of us then that would be a Bullet in [Bulletin] that ve dont Vant but how do we stand for Bubb & Grubb & Grape Shot?" The servant, a rough-looking fellow wearing a night-cap and apron, answers: "Why your Honor the Brown Stout is all gone, there is nothing left but the wing of a Turkey & Ham bone & a Bottle of Red --herefore as how we must steer speedily & soon for Port. Behind Curtis's head hangs a picture of the façade of a two-storied house: 'A view of Jacobs well'. On the right is a window through which are seen the sea and ships."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "In the centre of the design a double pillory is raised on a post, the feet of two victims resting on a beam inscribed 'Medical Board'. Both are confined at neck and wrists; a broad scroll inscribed 'Look Ass Peeps' [Lucas Pepys] hangs between them; one (left), in quasi-military dress, is evidently Thomas Keate, the Surgeon-General; the other, dressed as an old-fashioned physician, is Pepys. Below the pillory is a man on a braying ass, looking up triumphantly at its occupants; he is 'A Jacks-son', evidently Robert Jackson, M.D. In the foreground are four dead or dying soldiers (in neat and spotless uniform), 'Sent home for Inspection'; a man supports the head of one, another clutches a bundle inscribed '48 Regiment'. The flat grass on which they lie is flanked by medical stores, &c. On the left the gable-end of a rustic inn projects into the design with a sign on which is a goose [Chatham, see British Museum Satires Nos. 11549, 11564]; over the door is a placard: 'A Goose Cured here'. Beside it are a cask of 'Porter' and a large chest marked with a broad arrow and inscribed 'Medical Store[s] Inspectors Hospital Walcheren'; on this stand a basket of 'Surgeons Instruments' and a canister of 'Vitriol'; beside it is a canister inscribed 'Powder of Rotten Post'. Other stores are: bales of 'Cobwebs' and 'Oak Bark'; a cask inscribed 'Tincture of Arsenic Walcheren'; an open medicine-chest inscribed 'Candle Snuff & Cobwebs, charms for the Cure of Agues'; bottles of 'Gin'; a jar of 'James's Powder', and a bowl of 'Opium'. On the opposite side of the design are many closely stacked barrels, all inscribed 'TK' [Thomas Keate], of 'Port', 'Claret', and 'Burgundy', inscribed 'For the Hospital', 'For Home Consumption', and 'York Hospital'. In front of these is a large 'Champaign Chest' inscribed 'Chelsea Hospita[l]', and a turtle inscribed 'T K'."--British Museum online catalogue
