A FUNNY GAME.

A few friends met the other night in a Newtown store to spend a jovial evening but as they were all teetotallers and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements T 0111 c, drunkenness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game at euchre, and Jones said they had better play for something, just to give the game an interest and make it lively, hut times were hard so they did not care to play for money. Smith, however, spied a box 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 lively and the fun was fast and furious. Simpson swallowed live, J ones got away with four and Smith and Hopkins two each, an d Mac’got off scot free. The game terminate d "by a general exodusat 3a.m, for Dr Fletchei s pills never labour in 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, etc. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £SO (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 round every box, and all such forms are eligible for this competition that come from around this box. One boxiof Fletcher’s pills proves their virtues and they can be obtained everywhere at Is or post free for 15 penny stamps, from F. M. Clements, Newtown, N. S. W.
