The Cholera Cure.

More than forty years ago, when it was found that prevention for the Asiatic cholera was easier than cure, the learned doctors of both hemispheres drew up a prescription (for working-people), which was published in the New York ‘'run, and took the name of “The Sun Cholera Mixture.” Our contemporary never lent its name to a better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two-score years, and found it to be the best remedy for looseness of the bowels eves yet devised. It is to he commended for several reasons. It is not to be mixed with liquor, and therefore will not Imj used as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingredients are well known among all common people, and it will have no prejudice to combat; each of the materials is in equal proportion to the others, mid it may therefore be compounded without professional skill, and as the dose is so very small it may be carried in a tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be always at hand. It is: ; Tinct.opil, Capsid, ~ Rhei co., Menth pip., Campho. " • ' Mix the above in equal parts; dose, ten to thirty drops. In plain term*, take equal parts tincture of opium, tedi pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and and mix them for use. In pase -of diarrhoea take a dose often to twrihfy «rcft>& In three or four teaspoonfuls of. water. Nd one who has this.by him, and takesidt in time, will ever have the cholera. , jeommend It to our Western fHm(k, Q wd .bope.that the recipe will be widely published.
