A symbolical plate, representing the profession of medicine. In the upper part a corpse has been laid open for examination, and three cupids are in attendance; a fourth reads a book of reference with woful face, and a saw and vessel would indicate that extreme measures were to be tried. Below the name the serpent of Æsculapius twined about the rod is placed between retorts, and herbs growing in flower-pots. The execution of the plate is poor. John Barnard Swett of Newburyport, Mass.
