Two quack doctors (left) are having a heated altercation in a street or square outside their respective houses. From the corner of a house on the left hangs a sign, "Dr Walker's veritable antiscorbutic Pills. Beware of Impostors". From the house on the right. a sign projects, "True antiscorbutic Pills". The doctors wear large wigs and swords, and carry three-cornered hats. One (left) holds in his hand a medicine-bottle; behind them are two dogs fighting. Their wives (right) are fighting violently; one (left) has seized the other by the hair and is kicking her. Behind them (right) two cats with arched backs are spitting at each other. In the upper part of the print (center) is a shield with two ducks, and beneath is the motto: "Quack Quack Quack".

"A copy of a Rowlandson watercolour, see British Museum Satires No. 11111. A dying and aged man reclines in an arm-chair, facing his lawyer who is writing at a table, evidently on the will; beside him is a treasure-chest. A pretty young woman leans over the scarcely conscious man, taking his chin, while her lover, a young military officer wearing a cocked hat, watches her through an eye-glass from behind the curtains of a bed."--British Museum online catalogue
