- Abstract:
- "The patient lies in a large bed (right), sourly watching four ugly doctors (left) who sit in consultation, their knees close together. Two put old-fashioned gold-headed canes to their mouths. They say respectively: "We must throw in the Bark" [quinine]; "It is all brought on by Drinking"; What you say is very true"; "We must abate the thirst and then cure the fever". The patient says: "Aye aye. I hear you but Ill tell you how to save half the trouble cure the fever, & send me a nice cool tankard of Madeira and Ill abate the thirst myself"."--British Museum online catalogue

- "Satire on medicine: to right, a man sits on a close stool holding a steaming glass vessel; behind him a doctor reads from a large volume propped against the lid of the stool; he wears a tall hat, large glasses and an ermine-trimmed robe which is held by a man with a moustache, hat, lace-trimmed collar and cloak who carries a sword; men in white pierrot costumes stand on either side behind the doctor each holding a large candle the smoke from which partly obscures the doctor's hat; at the end of the procession are three men in the same costumes carrying clysters on their shoulders; all are in profile to right and have large noses."--British Museum online catalogue, description of a different version of the same design

- Abstract:
- "Hand-to-hand encounters between surgeons, indicated by their instruments and their old-fashioned dress, and barbers, wearing aprons and also with the tools of their trade. In the centre a barber seizes the wig and neck-cloth of his antagonist, who says: "Take care of my Wig I had it new to go down to the House". The other answers: "I ll dress your wig for you Master Bolus - you Bleed indeed - why I let as much blood for a penny, as you charge a pound for". A barber (left) bends over his prostrate victim (who cries murder murder), saying, "I'll teach you to despise Gentlemen Barbers you pitiful Pill monger." A stout well-dressed surgeon (right) raises his tasselled cane to strike a terrified and ragged barber, saying: "Ill teach you, you beggarly Scoundrel to call yourself Barber-surgeon & poking out your Damn'd Pole - when I am riding in my Chariot". The other screams "O Dear Brother Dressum youll throttle me I take in my Pole Damn the Cutting Part of the business". Behind (left), under a barber's pole from which hangs a barber's basin, a surgeon raises his cane to smite a fleeing barber. In the background two other couples are fighting. See British Museum Satires No. 9092, &c."--British Museum online catalogue
