"The patient sits in profile to the left with chattering teeth, holding his hands to a blazing fire on the extreme left Ague, a snaky monster, coils itself round him, its coils ending in claws like the legs of a monstrous spider. Behind the patient's back, in the middle of the room, Fever, a furry monster with burning eyes, resembling an ape, stands full-face with outstretched arms. On the right the doctor sits in profile to the right at a small table, writing a prescription, holding up a medicine-bottle in his left hand. The room is well furnished and suggests wealth: a carved four-post bed is elaborately draped. On the high chimney-piece are 'chinoiseries' and medicine-bottles. Above it is an elaborately framed landscape."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"A patient, wrapped in shroud-like draperies, sits (left) in a high-backed arm-chair gazing up and to the left. Two doctors in the foreground fight each other, overturning a round table on which are medicine-phials. A lean doctor (left) flourishes the wig of his fat opponent, whom he clutches by the neck-cloth. The fat doctor (right) siezes the other's pigtail queue."--British Museum online catalogue
