Ah! How simple some of the games of the past seem. Livermore & Knight Co. produced "The Whirl of Fate" as a premium for Merrill & Denning Druggists, of Mechanic Falls, Maine. A simple fortune-telling device, this top stops spinning and lands with one letter and number side facing up. A player then reads his or her fortune from the accompanying directions sheet. Some of the fortunes are simple, while some proclaim the merits of Johnson's Anodyne Linement. Merrill & Denning Druggists no doubt carried an ample supply of this soothing product.
