A Cure for Rheumatism

• Watchlist

In the hotel parlor old Fudge is seated reading and nursing his rheumatic foot. He finally spies an article in the paper telling of a wonderful cure for his ailment, "The Bee Sting" remedy, and immediately makes up his mind to get some. Going to his room, he calls a bell-boy, gives him money and the address and bids him hurry back. The boy goes to the drug store, buys a bottle and returns quickly to the hotel. By this time Mrs. Fudge has retired. Fudge opens the bottle and the bees swarm out and begin operations on both the man and his wife. They fight them off as best they can, then try to run away. Through the halls and into the parlor they rush, the bees following and stinging everybody with whom they come in contact. Our final scene shows Fudge and his wife with swollen faces and bandaged hands, trying to eat their dinner.
