Uncle Sam sits in a chair with pillows behind his head, convalescing. Before him is a table filled with various medicines, including “Bland-Allison Silver Mixture, Sherman’s Compromise Lotion, Tariff Tinkering Tincture, Jones’ Repudiation Pills, Weaver’s Old Greenback Cordial, [and] Fake Financial Theories.” A bottle of “Byran’s Free Coinage Panacea” lies under a chair and a device labeled “Peffer’s Populistic Electrifier” sits on a small table. In consultation around a table in the background are “Drs. Cleveland, McKinley, [and] Reed.” On the table is a bottle labeled “Currency Reform Medicine.” Wreaths labeled “Merry Christmas” are hanging in the windows. Caption: Uncle Sam (to his three eminent doctors of different schools)–Say, gentlemen, I’m getting over my prostration so fast that all I need is a good dose of that bottle on the table, and you can throw all this stuff here out of the window!
