Caption on item: Sickness befriends temperance by the simplicity of diet which it introduces ; it wards off the varied injuries of the open air by requiring the party to inhale a thousand-times over, the cherishing, equable, and safely treasured atmosphere of a chamber. The picture treats all these fanciful advantages from a burlesque point of view : a sufferer is on his pallet surrounded by all the inconveniences of washing, cooking, and other domestic arrangements, limited to one apartment, to serve him as ' kitchen, parlour, and bed-room, and all.'
