"An apothecary's shop, the walls covered by jars closely ranged on shelves, a stuffed fish hanging from the ceiling. Behind a curtain (right) Death, wearing an apron, pounds at a mortar of 'slow Poison', looking gleefully in a mirror to watch the customers. The fat quack compounds medicines at the counter. A grotesque crowd of agonized patients enters through a doorway (left) inscribed 'Apothecaries Hall'. Two sit in arm-chairs. The jars are 'Canthar[ides]', 'Arsnic', 'Opium', 'Nitre', 'Vitriol', 'Elixir', with (right) 'Restorativ Drops'."--British Museum online catalogue
