A Funny Game

A few friends met 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, di'ilnkeiiiless was out of the question. Mao proposed a garde at euchre, and Jones said they had better pay for something just to give the game an interest and make it lively, but times were hard, so they did not cave 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 fast and furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with four and Smith and Hopkins two each and Mao got off scot free. The game terminated by ♦a general exodus at 9 p.m. for Dr Fletcher's pills never labour in > am. They are the best an i mildest pills made and are sold by all chemists and druggist every where : being a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache il'c. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £50 (in seven prizes) 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 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.^.W.

The Success of Labor.

At the present time great changes ere coming about in the social sta us of mankind. A man is not now-a-days considered a God, because his r ather was a clever userer or merchant. It is becoming a recognised fact that all men are equal— as men— aud have each the right to enjoy life's blessings to an equal degree. In the past it has always been the aim of the rich to grind down the poor, and as latter had but one alternative — starvation — they were compelled to be thankful for what they could get. But now education is opening men's eyes to the fact that mankind could enjoy much more pleasure and comfort if such large shares of the world's wealth were not annexed by the few. The day of a great industrial revolution is at hand, and a brighter and better future is in store for us both socially and financially, and whilst paying attention to these great interests it is also essential to take particular care of our physical well-being. An all-seeing providence has so constituted the human frame that the brain is immediately informed of any organic derangement ; a simple headache is a sign that the liver is deranged, or that the nervous system is weakened, which, if neglected, continues to decline; the nervous issues waste away and completely collapse, and a fatal termination frequently results. Herr Otto Franzen, Adelaide, S.A., writes: — " I was taken with a sudden fit whilst dressing one morning last February, and fell on the iron bedstead and cut my temple open whioh bled profusely ; the fall completely stunned me, and I was unconscious for hours. My family procured medical assistance, and I got somewhat better in about a fortnight ; but ever since the acoident I suffered tortures from nervous headaches and neura'gia and weakness. I tried a'l the best dootors in this city and Melbourne for these troubles, ali to no purpose. I was a' most distraoted with pain, and applied to another dootor, and he recommended Clements Tonic, saying that my nervous system was prostrated with the shock, and that Clements Tonio would rebuild my constitution. I was rather doubtful, but procured a bottle, and felt belter \»ith the second dose, I continued its use, and am thankful I did, for I truly believe I should have been in a madhouse long ago if I had not used it, and I am really grateful for my sufferings were intense, and doctors could not cure me, but Clements Tonic did, therefore it deserves my gratitude."
