A FUNNY GAME.

A few friends met the other evening in ft Newtovrn store to spend a jovial evening, but as theywere all teetotallers and none of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game of euchre, and Jonea 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, ppied a box of Fletcher's •Trillions and liver pills, and proposed that each time a man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively and, thSfun. 1 was fast and furious. Simpson swallowed five, Jones got away with ..four, and Smith and Hopkins two each •-' and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated hy a general exodus at 3 a.m., for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour in v«4n. They are the heat and mildest pills made and are sold by aU chemists and . drug jfißta everywhere; being a positive, 'safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver' complaint, headache. Ac. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors :> give away (in seven prizes) at Xmas. for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large " Clements Tonic (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.W.
