- Abstract:
- "An elderly man with his hat tied over his ears and his right hand plunged deep in his coat-pocket walks (left to right) in a wintry landscape, across ice or snow. A flying demon, 'Jacky Frost', nips his nose between finger and thumb; he has webbed wings of ice fringed with icicles, and is naked except for a night-cap and skates. He has long pointed ears, grotesque features, and a tail. A dog walks in front of his master, looking up, and raising his paws as if hurt by the icy ground. In the background are tiny skaters."--British Museum online catalogue

- Abstract:
- "An elderly man, wearing a night-cap, sits in a chair yelling with terror and pain at the attacks of three demons. His swathed right leg is supported on a stool; a demon, 'Gout!' [cf. British Museum Satires No. 9448], sits astride it, attacking it with a savage scourge and a spur. 'Rheumatism!' clutches the victim's left arm, and 'Catarrhe!' sits triumphantly astride his right shoulder. A large bottle beside his chair is labelled 'De Velno' [Velnos, a notorious quack remedy, see British Museum Satires No. 7592]. On a table are medicine-bottles, and on the ground two books: 'Munro on the Gout &c &c' and 'Buchan--Domestic Medicine'."--British Museum online catalogue
