Satires (document genre)

This print satirizes the homeopathic doctrine of curing like with like. The caption translates, "You have indigestion, Gastero intero' evacuante! So an hour from now take a little soup, two chops, an omelet, a roast chicken, and twelve dozen oysters. This light meal will get you a stomach ache far worse than the first one. I won't drop by tomorrow, since I think everything will be over with."
