A few friends met the other night in n Newtown store to spend a jovial erening, tut as they were allteetotallars nnd none of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, drunkenness: was out of the question. Mac proposed a game :ii euchre, and Jones said they bad better play for something just to giy* the gani" an interest and make it lively, but time.-. were hard, so they did not care to piny for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher's bilious and liter pills, and proposed that each, time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and Unmade the game fast and furious. Simpson swallowed fire, Jones got away with four, and Smith and Hopkins two each, and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exotlus at 3 v.m. for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour i n vain. They are the best and mildest pills made and are sold by all chemists and druggists everywhere ; being a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache, &c. They always give satisfaction. The proprie tors give away £50 (in seven prizes) at Xmas. for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large Clements Tonic bottle (now full; holds. A guess form is around every box, and all such forms are eligible for this competition that come from around abox. One box of Fletcher's Pills proves their virtues and they can be obtained everywhere at Is, or post free 13 penny stamps, from F. M, Clements, Newtown, N.S.W.
