Sand Bar.

A small sand bar had formed at the mouth
of the Coquille, inside the original bar,
upon which there was only about seven feet
of water at high tide, when our informant
left on Thursday says the Coos Bay Neaos.
The Coquille badly needs an appropriation
to extend the work already commenced,
and also to conine the water within a GER
tain limit, so as it would be impossible for
it to spread out, forming sand bars and
considerably injuring business on the river.

The Sun Cholera Mixture.

Chicago Herald.
Now that it has been ascertained that
the cholera which has appeared in
Egypt is the genuine Asiatic article,
from which the worst is to be feared
should its march eastward not be stay
ed by strict quarantine regulations,
cholera prescriptions are in great de-
mand by correspondents who write to
the editor as if he were a personal
friend and the family physician. For
mole than forty years what is known
as the "Sun Cholera Medicine" has
stood the test of experience as the best
remedy for looseness of the bowels ever
yet devised. As was once vouched for
by the New York Journal of Com
merce, emo one who has this by him
and takes it in time will ever have the
cholera" Even when no cholera is
anticipated it is an excellent thing for
the ordinary summer complaints.
Here it is: Take equal parts of
tincture of cayene, tincture of opium,
tincture of rhubarb, essence of pepper.
mint and spirits of camphor. Mix
well. Dose, fifteen to thirty drops in
wine glass of water, according to age
and violence of the attack. Repeat
every fifteen or twenty minutes until
relief is obtained.
