The Sun Cholera Mixture,

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 prescription, which was published (for the working people) in the New York Sat,a, and took the name of "The St,a Cholera Mixture..' An exchange says Our contemporary never lent it's name to better article. We have seen it in constant use for nearly two score years, and found it tobe the best remedy for looseness of the bowels ever yet de- vised. It is to be commendedfo for several reasons. It is not toa,be mixed with liquor, and therefore will not be used as an alcoholic beverage. Its ingredients are well known amongthe common people, and it will have no prejudice to combat ; each of the materials is in equal pro portion to the others, and it may there fore be compounded without professional skill and as the dose is so very small, it may be carried in tiny phial in the waistcoat pocket, and be always at hand.
