Issue 13.1, Fall 2021

Drawing of fever, allegorically represented as a beast, and ague, depicted as a blue wormlike creature. Ague is wrapped around the torso of a visibly ill figure seated by a fire on the left of the image. Fever stands in the center of the image holding its arms in the air. In the background on the right, a physician writes a prescription.
