A Mad Marathon (1914)
Silas Brown piles up weight until he reaches 350 pounds and his physician prescribes walking to reduce him to the normal. Brown reluctantly starts out this way, but happens to pass a lunatic asylum, where Mad Pete is confined. One day Mad Pete manages to escape and chases Brown twenty miles uphill and down dale, over fences and through hedges until the fat man falls utterly exhausted, thinking that Mad Pete is about to brain him then and there. Thereupon the lunatic gently touches him upon his shoulder and says, "Tag, you're it. Now you chase me." Brown, on dragging himself back to town, and taking weight and measurements, finds that he has lost 150 pounds.
