Description
-
During his time on Balnibarbi Gulliver visited the Grand Academy of Lagado and the scholars who worked there. A proposal made by a doctor was to resolve political issues through treating politicians with various medicines. Through treating problems of the humours (a medical theory from the Ancient Greeks) then political disagreements could be easily resolved. In this image we see politicians sitting in parliament, with doctors standing nearby holding large bottles of medicines and needles.
