The doctor decides that what he needs is a little muscle massaging and puts him on the table for treatment. What he does to poor Nervy Ned is a shame. After he finishes mauling the man around a bit he leaves directions for him to take daily exercises. This Ned does but makes such a wreck of the place that his wife sends him to the doctor's gymnasium. The treatment he receives here is so rough that he finally falls in a faint on the floor. In order to bring him around the frightened doctor gives him pills. The pills are made for the purposes of making men strong and they do this to Ned with a vengeance. He gets up from the floor and promptly proceeds to get even with the doctor. Big as the doctor is, Ned manages, with his new found strength, to give him an awful beating. He returns to his proud wife and to his job on the busy corner with muscles fairly bursting his arms. When traffic moves too slowly to suit him he gives the cars a push and sends them speeding on their way. Written by Universal Weekly, October 20, 1923 See less
