A FUNNY GAME.
A few friends met the other night in a Newtown store to spend a jovial evening, but ns 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 nn interest and make it lively, but times were hard, so they did not care to ploy for money. Smith, however, spied a box of Fletcher’s bilious and liver pills, and proposed that each time n man was beaten he should take a pill, and this made the game lively, and the fun was fost and furious. Simpson swallowed, five, Jones got away with four, and Smith and Hopkins two each, ond Moo got off soot free. The game terminated by a general exodus at 3 a.m., for Dr Fletcher’s pills never labour in vain. They ore 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 seven prizes) at Xmas for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large Clements’s Tonic bottle (now full) holds. A guess form is around every box, and all such forma aro 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. M Clements, Newtown, N.S.W.
