Cholera Medicine. twenty years
ago, several leading doctors of New
York agreed on a recipe for the preven-
ton of cholera, and published it in the
SIN, from which it took the name of
''Sun Cholera Medicine" 1t is this:
take equal parts of tincture of Cay
enne pepper, incture of opium, tine
ture of rhubarb, essence Of peppermint,
aud spirits of campEor. Mix well.
Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in a little
cold water, according to age and vio-
lence of symptoms. repeated every fifJ
teen minutes until relief is obtained"
An authority, after using it twenty
years, says: mo one who has this by
him. and takes it in tire, will ever have
the cholera. Even when no cholera is
anticipated. it is an excellent remedy
for ordinary summer-cor,plaints, collie,
diarrh9a, dysentary. &c."
