Title derived from caption below image., Place of publication derived from publisher's street address., Complete caption: The quintessence of quackism, founded principals truly chimerical aetherial magnetical, electrical, & immaterial, & the four quarters of the globe ransak'd to make it ingeniously rediculous. Dedicated to the emperor of quacks, by myself., Description from British Museum: Beneath the design is engraved a musical score with the words of a song. A burlesque representation of the quack doctor James Graham (1745-94), who opened his 'Temple of Health' in the Adelphi in the autumn of 1779. Graham stands full-face; he holds in his mouth the end of the tail of a monkey which sits on his head. The monkey holds out a duck by one leg, which is saying "Quack Quack". Graham holds out in his right hand a circular box inscribed "Æthereal Pills". A medallion hangs round his neck, on which is a woman's head, inscribed "Female Historian". She is Mrs. Catherine Macaulay (see index) whom he treated at Bath, so gaining his first start. He stands between two gigantic men wearing large laced hats and long coats; one, "Gog" (left), in back view, the other, "Magog" (right), stands full-face holding a paper inscribed "Sketch of the Plan of the Temple of Health". These represent the gigantic footmen or porters who were among the attractions of the 'Temple' and who distributed bills advertising the establishment, see BMSat 6346 and Angelo, 'Reminiscences', 1904, i. 97. Between them, and above Graham's head, the words "Hail Wonderous Combination!" are etched. By the left margin of the print, two men are gazing at the spectacle, one clasps his hands in admiration or supplication. On the opposite side is a man grinning with two small boys who laugh and point, one of them a little chimney-sweep with brushes and sack., and This electronic record is derived from historic data and may not reflect our current information.
