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. 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 nob 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 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 gob 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 best 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 £SO (in Boven prizes) at Xmas for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to ji° w many of these pills a large Clements’s 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 proves their virtues and they can be obtained everywhere at Is, or post free 13 penny stamps, from F.
