A FUNNY GAME.
A few friends met the other night in a Newtown store to «*]>« nd a jovial evening, but as th2y were all teetotaller; and none of them drank anyllii; g stronger rhan Clements Tonic, 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, but times were hard, so they did 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 ghould take a pill, and this made the game lively and the fun was fast and furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones ?st away with four and Smtth and Hop ins two each and Mac got off scot free s The game terminated by a general exodi.s at 3 a.m., for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour in vain. They are the best and mildest pills made and are sold by all chemists and drugprists everywhere ; being a positive safe and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headache, &c. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £60 ( 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. 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. TV.
