Westminster election : the Porter Brewers, anxious to promote the cause of the brave and valiant Colonel Narcotic, have determined to begin an active fermentation in the flavour of that gentleman.

Satirical broadside from the early 19th century focusing on alcohol, tobacco and drug abuse in the form of a spoof election promotional leaflet. Deadly nightshade (belladonna), thorn apple, hounds tongue, coculus indicus, nux vomica, opium, tobacco, fermentation, malt and hops are mentioned as are physicians, apothecaries, coffin makers and grave diggers (possibly as those having to deal with those who use the substances to excess?). St. Paul's church yard in Covent Garden is given as a meeting place for the 'election committee'.
