Anon
Genre: | Song, Drollery |
Subjects: | Medical Practitioners, Disease, Commerce |
Anticipates with much relish the range of diseases associated with winter, including influenza, jaundice, and asthma. The chorus enjoys the possibility of the increased demand for 'physic for some throttles', while the last verse notes the money-making diseases associated with other seasons. | |
