"Punch Cures the Gout, the Colic, and the 'Tisic" is a satirical print by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray, created in 1799. The artwork is a testament to Gillray's sharp wit and his ability to critique and comment on the social and political issues of his time through visual art. The print depicts a scene where Father Time, a personification of time often depicted with a scythe and an hourglass, is seen serving a bowl of punch to a group of ailing elderly men. The title suggests that the punch being served is a panacea, capable of curing various ailments such as gout, colic, and phthisis (commonly referred to as 'tisic' in the 18th century), which were prevalent and much feared at the time.

The artwork is characterized by Gillray's intricate and exaggerated style, which was typical of his approach to caricature. His use of symbolism and metaphor in this piece is particularly notable, as it not only lampoons the medical practices and beliefs of the era but also serves as a commentary on the broader societal desire for quick fixes and miracle cures. The print is an example of how Gillray's work often transcended mere political satire to offer a humorous yet poignant critique of human nature and societal norms.

"Punch Cures the Gout, the Colic, and the 'Tisic" is held in high regard as part of Gillray's extensive oeuvre, which includes over a thousand prints. His work has been influential in the development of satirical art and continues to be studied for its historical and artistic significance. The print remains an important piece within the collections of various museums and galleries, and it is often cited in discussions of 18th-century British satire and the history of caricature.
