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 Tonic, drunkenness was out of the question. Man proposed a game of 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 eaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively and the fun 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 with a general exodus at 3 a.m., for Dr. Fletcher's pills never labour in vain. They are the best and the mildest pills made and are sold by all chemists and druggists everywhere; being a positive, safe, and reliable cure for constipation, liver complaint, headaches, etc. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £50 (in seven prizes) at Christmas, for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large Cements Tonic bottle (now full) holds. A guess form is around every box, and all such forms are eligible for this competition that come from around a box. One box of Fletcher's Pills provea their virtues, and they can be obtained everywhere at Is, or post free, 13 penny stamps, from F. M. Clements, Newtown, N.S.W.

How many people are there who are per» fectly well, who do not have headache nor stomach ache, and are perfectly free from all manner of pain, who (jet up every morning brimful of energy and elasticity ? If we would take our constitutions as nature gi /es them to us, and, instead of-tearing them down by dissipations and neglect, would make it a part of our daily lives to cultivate vigour and vitality, increase our strength and husband our physical resources, we might go on improving until we were fifty years old, for a well-cared-for brain grows until that time, and why not the bodily vigour as well ? Instead, we begin very early to draw upon our reserve force and are sometimes bankrupt at twenty-five or thirty. In such a state oi affairs as this, the most that can be done is to put on a stop-cock which will cut off all waste of vitality. Let the stomach and liver have as easy a time as possible; stop business and all worriment and retrench expenditures in every way possible. Do exactly what a bankrupt man would do wha had been living too rapidly and who wished to reform and retrieve his fortune as far as possible. By improved nutrition the size ol the daily supply stream can be somewhat in creased, but remember that we can only get* the tank full again by proper nutritive and restorative tonic treatment by a timely and faithful use of that great remedy Clements Tonic. This medicine is an essential food to the corporeal system, it is the greatest restorative of impaired energy ever discovered or prepared. In cases of nervous debility, general weakness, neuralgia, and continued toothache its action is sure, prompt, and effectual. Its use must be continued if a permanent cure is expected, for sometimes, owing to digestive weakness, the first few bottles are almost entirely wasted owing to the debility of the stomach and assimilative organs; in other cases where digestion is strong the first few doses have what appears a magical effect. We can only say,so far as we are concerned, that our article is genuine, and that if any article known to science will cure disease Clements Tonic is that article. If that fails you can rest assured all other remedies wilL but we have never yet met the case where Clements Tonic has been persistently used and failed. Read these proofs" J. C. Fitzpatrick, Esq., gives his reliable testimony. He was a sufferer from general weakness, but Clements Tonic cured him. Gazette Office, Windsor, N.S. W. Sir,—For some time I have been testing the efficacy of Clements Tonic, and have proved this preparation to be one of the most valuable ever placed before the public. I have for some time been suffering from the effects of overwork, and noting that Clements Tonic was very highly snoken of in many of my ex. changes, I decided to give it a trial, with the result that I speedily became rein ted secured a reform of my usual activity, ana was relieved of the lassitude and nervousnesi which had afflicted me for some considerable time. I can really recommend Clement! Tonic, more particularly to brother journalists, whose professional duties, if not altogether arduous, are at least continuous, and demand % deal of their time and attention. Newspaper work carries with it a deal of responsibility and care, and a stimulating brain tonic is actually necessary ; but the uestion is. What is best? Out of all I have tried I must decide that Clement* Tonic hits been the most invigorating, and t« journalists and all of sedentary habits itmusj prove a great acquisition and a boon of th« most valuable character." " Austral Cham hers, 19, Elizabeth-street, Sydney, August 15. 1889. F. M. Clements, Esq. Dear Sir, For many months sleep, appetite, and nerve power had almost deserted me, and, at times, I suffered such severe nervous and neuralgic headaches that life was almost unbearable. After trying many ' safe and sure cures' with out relief, I was persuaded to give Clements Tonic a trial, and am very glad that I did so, for now I am auite free from pain, can sleep well, and do all my business with a degree of pleasure that I have not experienced for some months. It will give me much pleasure to recommsnd Clements Tonic to all my friends and customers on the roads that I travel, and. wishing the remedy every success, I remain, yours faithfully, _J. T. Bounds.
