"Three doctors, grinning with satisfaction, stand in conference in an apothecary's shop. One (left), very corpulent, his spectacles pushed up on his forehead, holds a bottle labelled 'The Draughts as before Mr Costive'. His vis-à-vis stands chapeau-bras, holding a cane. Both wear old-fashioned dress with tie-wigs. The third, standing behind and between them is more fashionably dressed. On the counter (right) is a pestle and mortar, pill-box, and medicine phials, one labelled going to rest. Behind it are shelves on which are glass jars of varying sizes containing coloured liquids."--British Museum online catalogue

Abstract:
"The interior of an apothecary's room: jars on shelves; a counter with drawers, pestle and mortar, flasks, &c. A bust of Galen stands on the lintel of the door (right). An alarmed undergraduate in cap and gown stands clasping his stomach. The doctor faces him triumphantly, with raised arms and holding a pill-box. His man, who wears an apron, walks off with a large box inscribed 'Anti-Fibbibus'. The (prose) inscription below the title relates that a 'College Wag' called on a 'travelling Empiric' and asked to be cured of a bad memory, and a habit of lying. He is cured by the 'gilded pill called - Pillula Memoria - Anti Fibbibus!!' The youth complains that he is poisoned with Asafœtida, the doctor answers that he speaks the truth and will never forget the medicine, so is cured."--British Museum online catalogue

"Distraught customers besiege an apothecary's counter. A fat man pounds with a pestle in a mortar; a dandified shopman serves; another, with a knowing wink, takes a canister from a shelf. A boy holds out a coin: 'I wants a pennorth O Camphor'. A man with a bottle demands 'Spirits of Wine and mustard'. A woman says 'I feel very poorly'. A man and a woman both call for 'Camphor' and a man with a jug says 'Soap Sir'. (For the cholera epidemic see British Museum Satires No. 16922, &c.)"--British Museum online catalogue

"Scene outside a large apothecary's shop, both windows filled with large coloured jars. Above the door is the sign, a terrestrial globe on which scales are balanced. Outside, a doctor in old-fashioned dress, acts as usher with a long wand to a band of naked infants (left) who run eagerly towards him. In the jars fœtuses are indicated. Outside the other window stands an undertaker holding up his professional staff and doffing a hat draped with a mourning scarf towards a skeleton who advances from the background (right). Behind the skeleton is a church among trees."--British Museum online catalogue, description of an earlier state

"Four grotesque men, all crippled or deformed, are in a row before a set of druggist's shelves headed 'Staats Apotheek'. Those on the extreme left and right stand, the others sit. A knock-kneed hunchback (left), smoking a long pipe, the smoke inscribed 'Hellebr . . .', holds a paper: 'Recipe'. A ragged and lame National Guard picks the pocket of his neighbour. Above the shelves, and forming the apex of the design, a fury, Discord, with snaky locks, leans from clouds, holding a flaming sword and looking down threateningly at the conference. On the top shelf are a 'Guillotine' and a bull, 'Phalaris', a block inscribed 'Menschen lief de' next a gallows, a demon. Below are bottles: 'Quint Ess: de Robespierr, Sel de Marat, Recipes en Assignaten [see British Museum Satires No. 8849], Rotten gift [poison for mice], Alb: Graec:' On the wall hang a sword and shackles.
