A Funny Game.
A few friends met iae other night in a Newtown etore tft spend a jovial evening; but, as they were all teetotallers, and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements’ Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Mao 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 bilious and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten be should take a pill, and this made the game lively, and the fnn was fast and furious, Simpson swallowed five, Jones getaway with tour, Smith and Hopkins two each, and Mao got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exodus at 3 a.m., for Dr Fletcher’s pills never labor 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 care for constipation, liver complaint, headache, etc. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away LSO (in seven prices) at Xmas, for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to bow many of these culls a large Clements’ Tonte bottle (now full) holds, A guess form is around every box, and all snob forms are eligible for this competition that oome from around a box.
