Finally he gets in to see the doctor, who gives him a treatment, but it does not have the desired effect, so he gives him a prescription which the unfortunate fellow has filled at the druggist. Upon receiving the medicine and in his desire to have an instant relief, he swallows the contents of the bottle in one gulp. Instead of helping him, it makes him worse than ever, so he hurries back to the doctor who has now lost all patience and who puts him out, telling him that there is no hope for a cure. The afflicted fellow then returns home in a terrible frame of mind, and arrives just as dinner is about to be served, and when the maid places a large beef tongue in front of him, it being more than he can stand, he grabs it up and slashes her with it. Then giving his wife a drubbing, he proceeds to smash everything in the room. Written by Views and Film Index (December 20, 1908) See less
