This lithograph by H. Heath depicts a satirical scene in an apothecary's shop, where Sir Robert Peel, a prominent British politician, attempts to force-feed a large pill to John Bull, a personification of England. The image mocks the perceived heavy-handed policies of Peel and other politicians, who are seen as imposing their will on the British people.
