Six scenes narrating the fuss caused by a man's progression from minor cold to supposed major illness and then sudden recovery. The man's initial plea for nursing with his cold leads onto the summoning of a doctor and procurement of an abundance of potions. The terminal illness which seems to develop throws the houshold into grief-stricken turmoil and the doctors into confusion. The patients miraculous recovery naturally surprises everyone. Above the scenes is a skeleton emerging from a doctors' hat holding a cane and medicine bottle

A thin man wearing bedclothes and slippers sits on a stool at right, clenching his fists in obvious pain. Three winged demons harass him, one clutching the back of his collar. A well-dressed doctor, wearing spurred boots and glasses, stands before him on the left; two medicine bottles protrude from his jacket pocket, and he holds a third bottle and glass for the patient. Additional bottles and canisters of medicine sit on the table and floor behind the doctor; a skeleton and skull and crossbones are seen above the table
