    <dcterms:abstract><![CDATA[Each scene is subtitled starting top with &#039;sudden breaking up of a consultation&#039; and ending bottom right with &#039;Drama. The miller &amp; his men&#039;. There is numerous lettering in the main central scene including top left: &#039;I say the man is in the last stage of consumption thro&#039; a too frequent supply of Morrison&#039;s Pills instead of Leakes sillybrated pills, which would have saved his life&#039;. In response another salesman replies: &#039;It&#039;s false fellow the &#039;vegetables&#039; rallied him but taking a box of your rubbish afterwards threw him back&#039;. Another vendor exclaims: &#039;You have completely ruin&#039;d the patient with your vile sovereign remedies in short you&#039;ve kill&#039;d him - then he can&#039;t swallow any more of your patent quack medicines.- You have totally deprived him of his sense of hearing - then he won&#039;t hear your gammon in the shape of advice - you have destoryed his olfactory nerves - then he wont be able to smell your horrid physic - you have glinded him with your deadly narcotics - then he can&#039;t see any more of your imposing long bills - you have deprived him of his speech - then he can&#039;t call you a humbug - in short Dr Long you have destroyed all his organs of sense - then you can no longer play upon his credibility&#039;. Other doctors mentioned in the lettering include &#039;Dr Jardan and his universal balm&#039; and &#039;Dr Solomons&#039; (Dr Samuel Solomon, inventor of the Balm of Gilead).]]></dcterms:abstract>
