A FUNNY GAME.

A few friends met the other evening in a Newtown store to spend a jovial evening, but as they were all teefcotall; rs a- d n >ne of them drank anything stronger than Clements Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Mac proposed a game of euchre, and Joneß said they had better play for something just to give the game an interest and make it l.vely, but timeß were hard so they did not care to play for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher's billious and liver pills, acd 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 five, Jones «*ot away witr four, and Smith and Hopkins two each and Mac got off scot free. The game terminated by a general exodus at 3 a.m., for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour in vain. They are the beßt 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, &c. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away JB6O (in seven prizes) at Xmas. f er'the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large Clements Tonic (now full) holdß. A guess form is around every box. One box of Fletcher's Pilla proveß their virtues and they can be obtained everywhere at Is. or poßt free 13 penny stamps, from F. M. Clements, Newtown. N.S.W.
