A Near-Sighted Cupid (1912)

Dr. Eli Brown, who is as eminently scientific as he is visually near-sighted, on his way to the lecture, collides with Miss Myra Simms, a busy shopper, and they exchange valises in the mix-up. When the doctor opens up his anatomical wonders in the classroom, it causes vociferous merriment, when he begins to draw out female frippery instead of skulls and bones. In contrast Miss Simms is horrified into hysterics when she finds a bag of bones, mute revealers of some terrible tragedy. Mutual explanations lead to mutual regard, and the near-sighted scientist gets a true insight into love.
