THE GAME OF "DR. BUSBY."

published by PARKER BROTHERS, salem, mass., U.S. A

This game was the first ever published in America, being brought out in Salem in 1840.

The publishers have purchased all rights, and herewith present the only authorized edition.

The game consists of four families, as follows:

The Busby Family, having the Mortar and Pestle in the corner of the cards, consisting of:
Dr. Busby, his Wife, Son, Servant and Dairymaid's black-eyed Lover.

Dairymaid's Family, with the bowl of milk in the corner, consists of:
Doll the Dairymaid, her Father, Brother, Servant and Pan of Milk.

Ninnycometwitch Family, with the Eye in the corner, including:
Mr. Ninnycometwitch, His Wife, Son, Servant and one Eye.

Gardener's Family, with the Spade in the corner, including:
Spade the Gardener, his Wife, Son, Servant and Spade.

The players should sit round a table. The cards must be well shuffled and distributed equally.

Any one of the players may begin the game by calling upon his right-hand neighbor for any card which he has not in his own hand. If his neighbor has the card he calls for, he must give it up to him. He may then call for another, and go on till he calls for one which his neighbor has not in his hand.

Then the next takes his turn, calling first for those cards which have been called for and obtained by the first.

The players must he attentive and remember to call for every card which has been called for and obtained before, if possible, as the game is made longer and more complicated by every failure of memory.

When a player has called every card from his right-hand neighbor, thus putting him out of the game, he may continue to call from the next on the right-hand.

At the close of the game, the victor will have all the four families' United in his hand.
