About this work

Description

In the centre a woman sits on a gigantic yellow box of Pulmoserina packaging. Dosage and indications are printed on the side of the box. She is being attacked by four lions and tigers inscribed with the names of diseases (Bronquitis, Laringitis, Tosferina, Tisis). She calmly defends herself by throwing boxes of Pulmoserina at them. One tiger, hit on the paw by a box, lies supine, defeated. A snake inscribed "Resfriados" (colds) is coiled round a tree trunk, about to attack the woman
