An old man is seated at a table endeavoring to eat something. He is evidently afflicted with stomach trouble, and it is with great difficulty that he manages to swallow his food. He examines his tongue by looking at it in a hand mirror, and here the scene changes to show what was seen in the looking glass. After satisfying himself that he is in pretty bad condition, he takes some medicine from a bottle, drinks it, and then the fun commences. The facial contortions are extremely laughable.
