Lettering

Der Aerzte-Krieg des neunzehnten Jahrhunderts ... Lettering continues: Wie sich in Kräehwikel die Doctores streiten/ Ob der Patient von seinen Leiden/ Durch Allo- oder Homöopathey/ Am besten zu erlösen sey. // Und wie sich der Allo- und der Homöopath/ Endlich ausgestritten hat/ Ist der Patient in Frieden/ Sauft und selig verschieden. [Lettering on box under right-hand man's arm:] Homöopathische Apotheke
