Description
Satirical print of medical remedies ranging from enemas, to potions, to reliance on St. James, the apostle who travelled to Iberia and is identified by his cockle shells. The text at the bottom reads “Envain pour les guérir on accourt à leur aide / La rage est dans le Coeur, il n’est plus de remède.” The “Imp. Lithog. de C. Motte” inscription at the bottom right refers to the Paris lithographer, Charles Etienne Pierre Motte (1785-1836).
