A Sure Cure (1911)
His daughter Dora, so Major Breeze irritably declared, seemed to divide her thoughts between the young doctor, Jack Wells, and amateur photography; the latter he would tolerate, but the former he had sternly forbidden his house. She felt almost like drinking some of her deadly poisonous solution of chromic acid, so the girl told him, but disrespectful Dr. Wells suggested that she give it to the major instead. This flippant remark gave Dora an idea. The solution of chromic acid was about the color of her father's whiskey; they could but the chromic acid label on his bottle, trusting to his near-sightedness not to observe it. Then after he had taken a good big drink, Dora would point to the label and make him think he was poisoned. Jack's fellow colleagues in the vicinity were to be let into the secret, and when called, tell the poor major that his case was utterly hopeless. It would then be Dr. Wells' cue to appear, marvelously cure the old gentleman, and as a reward receive his happy daughter. The whole scheme worked like a charm. The young people, however, had no sooner received the major's blessing, than they hurries him off to the Rev. Geo. Brooks, taking no chances, should the old gentleman learn of their deception.
