1 print : lithograph, with watercolour.

Extraordinary effects of Morrisons vegetable pills! ... CJG invent & del. Lettering continues: "Vy Snook is that you! Vell if I arnt completely struck! Vy ven did you change you vooden legs for cork'uns!" "Cork ones! now do they look like a pair of cork ones! No old boy they are real flesh and blood, and ten times a better pair than wot I was born with, it'll only cost you a shilling my tulip and you'll have as good a pair of stumps as myself. Yesterday you must know I bought a box of Morrisons Uniwersal Wegetable pills, for a swelling in my thighs, well, so I took 'em all afore I went to bed and when I awakes in the morning to kick of the clothes, I'm blessed if I didn't find myself with these 'ere couple of jolly good legs and my old wooden ones right at the bottom of the bed!!!"
