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 ClementsTonic,drunkenneßs was out of the que.s tion. Mac proposed a game at euchre, and Jones said playing for something would give the game an interest and make it lively, bnt 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 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 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 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, headaohe, &c. They always give satisfaction. The proprietors give away £50 (in [seven prizes) at Xmas, for the seven first nearest guesses sent in, as to how many of these pills a large Clements Tonic bottle (now full) holds. A guess form is around every box, and all sucb 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 i post free for 13 penny stamps, from F. I M. Clements, Newton, N.S.W. I
