An emaciated cholera victim sits at right on a stool labeled "Starvation", at a table labeled "Board of Health", on which sits a large bottle surrounded by dancing imps; the bottle is endowed with a face and claws and is labeled "Enema" and "The dose to be repeated"; beside the bottle is a container of "Blue Pills", one of which the sick man holds in his hand in the form of a large, round bolus; below the table is a squatting skeletal creature wearing a bib which reads "Fee Fo Fum."
