- 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

- Abstract:
- A sailor with a bandaged eye consulting a mercenary medical practitioner. The sailor describes his medical history in nautical terms. He refers to a skeleton suspended in a cupboard as the doctor's "messmate". and "Sailor and quack face each other in a consulting room. The sailor (left) has a clumsy bandage over forehead, one eye, and left cheek; he is dressed as in British Museum Satires No. 10894; under his arm is a cudgel, and in his hand a paper headed 'List of Cures'. Behind him (left) is an open cupboard containing a tall skeleton with goggling eye-sockets. With forefinger raised, warily pugnacious, he says: "You must know Doctor I have got a bit of a Confusion on my larboard cheek from a chance shot, and as I dont think it of consequence enough for our Ship's surgeon, I bore down to you, after overhauling a long list of your cures - but I suppose front the messmate in the Cabin there, you dont always make a return of the Killed and Wounded?" The doctor, in old-fashioned dress and wig, leans towards him with extended forefinger, saying, "Sir, my rule of practice is this, there is pen, ink, and paper, - sign a certificate of your cure, and I'll take you in hand immediately on paying down two Guineas!" A table with writing materials stands against the wall; on the floor is a crudely patterned carpet."--British Museum online catalogue
