Satirical songsheet written in a comic German accent about a travelling seller of patent medicines (made of rhubarb, squills, butter, soap, flour and cheese), plaisters and tooth extraction. Cover is a lithograph of a bespectacled man in check trousers and hat, string bag of medicines on his back, dog's head umbrella under his arm and a box of pills in his left hand. The song appears to have been published in earlier versions, going back to 1869 by Robert Cocks & Co. The back page bears the first page of 'The ould side car' by P.J. O'Reilly and J. Airlie Dix.
