Summary

Description
English: On the left an M.D. and Fellow of the Royal Society bludgeons a patient,

who is being bled and is mired in the slough of disease, with a club labeled "calomel" (mercury chloride). On his jacket are the labels: "dieting", "regulate system," "depletion," "lancet," and "nitre." In the center, a man wearing the labels: "reason," "philosophy," and "common sense." And on the right, a man wearing the labels: "Thomson's system," "food," "steam," "lobelia," and

"capsicum" leads a patient up the steps of common sense.
