Produced during the late 19th century, the game of "Rival Doctors" shows an unfamiliar scene on its box cover. Two men hover over a bedridden patient. Doctors visited patients during that era, instead of patients going to the doctor. The game itself, a standard race game, features humorous messages on the board and implements for play. Apparently rival doctors caused funny situations.
