Cure for Bashfulness (1909)
John is extremely bashful and seems to be afraid of the ladies. His father picks up the newspaper and the following advertisement appears: "Cure for Bashfulness. This liquid will make the most timid young men a terror amongst the ladies." Both parents are delighted. Father immediately starts for the drug store and purchases a bottle of the wonderful liquid. He fixes up a dose for John, and after taking the same, the young man's bashfulness instantly leaves him. He hugs the maid, goes into the kitchen, squeezes the colored cook. Going out into the street, John wants to hug every girl he meets, while father has more than he can do to keep him quiet. They enter a cafe and concert hall, and every girl in the room seems attracted, comes over to his table and orders a drink, which Pa pays for under protest. The old man now leaves John alone, and before long he is taken in charge by a policeman. His father pleads for him, producing the bottle, the cause of all the trouble. The magistrate is curious, takes a pull himself, and instantly starts acting as did the prisoner. He embraces every female he meets and acts in a manner wholly unbecoming his station.
