112 There is no fiekl which has not been invaded by the caustic pencil of the caricaturist. A glimpse at an old copy of Gillray's Works brings to our mind two or three caricatures, which are of interest now. The one entitled " The Gout" vividly pictures the horrible pain of the disease. The demon of torture, a horrible imp, has seized upon the helpless great toe of a sufferer, and is harrowing the limb with a combination of hooks, barbs, forks, and tearing teeth. Another, and better known caricature is entitled " The Cow-Pock �or�the Wonderful Effects of the JSTe^o Inoculation�Vide�the Publications of the Anti-Vaccine Society." This picture represents a vaccination scene in Jenner's ofhce. Patients are coming in atone door where they are in turn dosed with " opening mixture?'' A bandy-legged work-house lad is holding a milk pail filled with " vaccine pock hot from the cow" and has a pamphlet stuffed in his coat pocket on " Benefits of the Vaccine,^'' &c. Dr. Jenner is in the act of vaccinating a fat woman with an enormous lancet, making liberal incisions in her arm. As the crowd files around and out of the room, the horrible effects of the vaccination are shown. Enormous growths from the arms, nose cheek and ear, in the shape of a cow's head are seen, and disgusting sights of diminutive cows slipping out from under the clothes of a male and female. On the wall is a picture of the worship of the golden calf. The portrait of Jenner is a very good one. Another caricature is ent\l\Q({ " Scientific Researches! Neto Discoveries in Pneumaticks!�or�an Experimental Lecture on the Powers of Air." The scene is in the lecture-room of the Royal Institution. The lecturer. Dr. Garnet, (the lecturer in Chemistry who died in 1802) is practically illustrating his discourse by experimenting upon Sir J. C. Hippesby, who is considerably embarrassed by the volume of gas escaping from his breeches, causing his immediate neighbors to seize their noses. Sir Humphry (then Mr.) Davy, is assisting the operator. The droll head of Count Rumford is seen near a cabinet of electrical apparatus. The last sickness of Charles James Fox, pictures him surrounded by political adherents and opponents. An old Abbess and " Bishop O'Bother" are persuading him to make confession. The dying GILLRAY'S CARICATURE OF PROFESSIONAL MATTERS.
