A Funny Game.

• A few frieuds mot the other night in a Newtown store to spend a joval evening, but as they were all teetotallers and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game at euchre, and Jones said they had better p ay for something just to give the game an interest aud make it lively, but times were hard, so they'tlict not care to play for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher's billious and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively and the fun last p.nd furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with four and Smith and Hopkins two each and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exodus nt 3 p.m. for Dr Fletcher's pills never labour iv vain. They are the best an<~) mildest pills made and are sold, by all chemists and druggist every whero : being a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache ttc. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £50 (in seven pri .cs) at Xmas for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a Clements Tonic bottle (now full) holds. A guess form is around eveiy box, and all such forms nre 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 la, br post free 13 penny stamps, from F. M. Clements, Newtown, N.S.W. ■ i i ' i ■_■____■___-_■_-■_-_______■_■
