  Final two digits of year in imprint likely transposed in error; publisher S.W. Fores did not move to the 50 Piccadilly street address until the mid-1790s, according to the British Museum online catalogue. Krumbhaar lists 1789 as the year of publication.
  Not in the Catalogue of prints and drawings in the British Museum. Division I, political and personal satires.
  Exhibited: Yale Medical Library, New Haven, CT, 1981.
  
• Summary:A stout man (left) wearing a robe and nightcap, on crutches with his gouty right foot bandaged and in a sling that wraps around his shoulders, complains to a thin man (right) wearing a coat and boots but with his legs bare. The man on the left says "Don't plague me now - I have got the gout", to which the other man replies "I give you joy my good friend, in these hard times it is very well you can get any thing!!!"
