A Fanny Game
A few friends nut the other nij;iii in ■■• JSewtown store to spend a jovial ecjuin:,'. but as they wero all teetotallars and in nr of them drank anything stronger tli.-m Ck-mi-uls Tonic, drunkenness was out it the question. Mac proposed a gnnn- ■! euchre, and Jones said they had be'ier play for something just to give the jjnimc an interest and m:ike it lively, but limewere hard, so they did not care to play for money. Smith, however, spied a b'-x of Fletcher's bilious and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game fast and furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with four, and Smith and Hopkins two each, and Mac got off scot free. The ijaine terminated by a general exovlus at 3 a.m. for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour in rain. 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) nt 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 a box. 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.
