- Abstract:
- "A man, thin, elderly, and bald, leans back despairingly in an arm-chair by the fire, grimacing with upturned eyes, and holding a (useless) medicine-bottle. He is tormented by six little demons; one bores into his skull with an auger, another with a bit. A third raises a mallet to strike a wedge into the skull. One sits on his victim's shoulder, holding a music-book and bawling into his ear, another blows a trumpet against his cheek. A sixth runs up his arm to bring a red-hot poker into action."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "The dentist, short, fat, and bald, stands in back view on a low stool, his knees pressed against the chair, his left arm round the victim's neck; he tugs at an upper tooth. The thin elderly patient raises her left leg in agony, overturning the folding wash-stand on which the dentist's appliances are spread. These include a basin, cup (both spilling their contents), a double set of teeth, a hammer, and a stoppered jar which falls against a large pier-glass, starring it. Both are unaware of the accident, though a little dog barks from under the table. The glass reflects dentist and patient, showing the latter gripping the arm of the chair. There is a window (right), the lower part screened by a slatted green shade. Above this dangle teeth with large blood-stained roots. On a chest of drawers-bookcase are laid out sets of false teeth. The books are Warbler; Winter in London; Lock on the Gums; Miseries of Human Life [Beresford, see See British Museum catalogue No. 10815, &c]; Bible; Tales of the Devil; Tommy Two Shoes; Treatise on Tooth Powder & Brushes; Feast of Wit; Tales of Terror, and two big volumes of Frankensteiv [sic] [Frankenstein by Mary Shelley, published 1818]. The room is carpeted to the wall."--British Museum online catalogue

Next is a very thin apothecary, holding his gold-headed cane; between his legs is a pestle and mortar containing medicine-bottles, one labelled 'To be well shaken'. On the left is an angry lawyer, holding a bag from which a paper projects. Villagers stand round watching the procession, cheering delightedly. Behind, from among trees, appear a hay-stack, an antique farm or cottage, and a church tower with a large Union flag at its flag-staff."--British Museum online catalogue
