"Punch Cures the Gout, the Colic, and the 'Tisic" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in the late 18th century. As a prominent figure in the Golden Age of British caricature, Gillray was known for his sharp wit and ability to capture the social and political climate of his time through his art. This particular print is a fine example of his work, showcasing his skill in using humor and exaggeration to comment on contemporary issues.

The print depicts a scene where the character of Punch, a classic figure from the traditional puppet show Punch and Judy, is portrayed as a miraculous healer, offering his own brand of cure to three ailing patients suffering from gout, colic, and 'tisic (an archaic term for tuberculosis). The image is rich with allegory and metaphor, as Gillray often employed in his caricatures to critique and lampoon the medical practices, quackery, and health fads of the period.

In "Punch Cures the Gout, the Colic, and the 'Tisic," the artist's use of vivid detail and character expression not only serves to entertain but also to provide a visual commentary on the credulity of the public and the often dubious nature of contemporary medical treatments. The print is a testament to Gillray's enduring legacy as a master of visual satire and his ability to intertwine humor with social commentary, making his works as engaging today as they were over two centuries ago.

As with many of Gillray's prints, this work was likely published by Hannah Humphrey, with whom Gillray had a long-standing professional relationship. The print would have been available for purchase by the public and was intended to be both a piece of entertainment and a reflection of the artist's perspective on the society of his time. It remains an important piece within the oeuvre of James Gillray's work and continues to be studied and appreciated for its artistic and historical significance.
