Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? Bridget’s husband, Isidore, had a alight attack of skinflintis. According to Doctor Sweatum, there was only one cure, and he proceeded to demonstrate it by enclosing Isidore in a steaming sweat-bath. There he left him, hotter than tobasco, until a violent explosion relieved Isidore from his plight. He sought the cooling waters of the river. There was much excitement on the way, but he was cured.
