An interior with (1) "Mr Petit a French Surgeon sent from Paris to Doctor Meagre to take an exact Account from him of ye Praeternatural Delivery of Rabbets" (a reference to Mary Toft's fraud) entering through a door on the right and bowing elegantly as he presents a letter to (2) "Doctor Meagre" a tall thin man supporting himself on a stick. (3) A young boy, the doctor's son Edmund, stands behind holding the hand of (4) "Mr Dipthong" his tutor. To the left is (5) a table, on which rest a flask and glass and a dish of pill; two large barrels beneath are labelled, "Gallenus" and "Hipocrates". On the wall behind are two pictures, on the right, (6) showing a duel between "the Doctor &amp; a Flower Painter at Slaughter's Coffee house", and, on the left, (7) "Another Incounter at Swords between the Doctor &amp; a famous French Gramarian, a long Table standing between the Champions". A young black servant opens the door, on which is written "No Cure, No Mony".
