    Depicts a dispensary in which two medical practitioners are selling medicines to a young girl and a man. Behind the counter are casks containing such decidedly non-medicinal items as 'old black draught', 'rhubarb pies', and 'fine drawn castor oil'. The girl requests 'half a quartern of antomom wine', while the man asks for a 'pint of Epsom salts'. The subtitle is 'Physic "To be Drunk on the Premises"'.
