[Asterism] Hogarth has introduced Dr. Taylor in his "Undertakers' Arms."
He is one of the three figures at the top, to the left hand of the
spectator.

UNBORN DOCTOR (_The_), of Moorfields. Not being born a doctor, he called
himself "The Un-born Doctor."

WALKER (_Dr._), one of the three great quacks of the eighteenth century,
the others being Dr. Rock and Dr. Timothy Franks. Dr. Walker had an
abhorrence of quacks, and was for ever cautioning the public not to
trust them, but come at once to him, adding, "there is not such another
medicine in the world as mine."

Not for himself but for his country he prepares his gallipot, and
seals up his precious drops for any country or any town, so great
is his zeal and philanthropy.--Goldsmith, _A Citizen of the World_,
lxviii. (1759).

WARD (_Dr._), a footman, famous for his "friars' balsam." He was called
in to prescribe for George II., and died 1761. Dr. Ward had a claret
stain on his left cheek, and in Hogarth's famous picture, "The
Undertakers' Arms," the cheek is marked gules. He occupies the right
hand side of the spectator, and forms one of the triumvirate, the
others being Dr. Taylor and Mrs. Mapp.

Dr. Kirl[:e]us and Dr. Tom Saffold are also known names.

=Quackleben= (_Dr. Quentin_), "the man of medicine," one of the committee
at the Spa.--Sir W. Scott, _St. Ronan's Well_ (time, George III.).

=Quaint= (_Timothy_), servant of Governor Heartall. Timothy is "an odd
fish, that loves to swim in troubled waters." He says, "I never laugh at
the governor's good humors, nor frown at his infirmities. I always keep
a steady, sober phiz, fixed as the gentleman's on horseback at Charing
Cross; and, in his worst of humors, when all is fire and faggots with
him, if I turn round and coolly say, 'Lord, sir, has anything ruffled
you?' he'll burst out into an immoderate fit of laughter, and exclaim,
'Curse that inflexible face of thine! Though you never suffer a smile to
mantle on it, it is a figure of fun to the rest of the world."--Cherry,
_The Soldier's Daughter_ (1804).

=Quaker Poet= (_The_), Bernard Barton (1784-1849).

=Quaker Widow.= Gentle old dame who, on the afternoon of her husband's
funeral, tells to a kindly visitor the simple story of her blameless
life, its joys and sorrows, and of the light that comes at eventide.

"It is not right to wish for death;
The Lord disposes best.
His spirit comes to quiet hearts
And
