ccident. This was published
in _Life Secrets_, but it is republished by request on account of its
great value. It should be remembered by everyone.

An invaluable remedy for a sprain or bruise is wormwood boiled in
vinegar and applied hot, with enough cloths wrapped around it to keep
the sprain moist.

CAMPHORATED OIL.

Best oil of Lucca, gum camphor. Pound some gum camphor and fill a
wide-necked pint bottle one-third full; fill up with olive oil and set
away until the camphor is absorbed. Excellent lotion for sore chest,
sore throat, aching limbs, etc.

LINIMENT FOR CHILBLAINS.

Spirits of turpentine, three drachms; camphorated oil, nine drachms.

Mix for a liniment. For an adult four drachms of the former and eight
of the latter may be used. If the child be young, or if the skin be
tender, the camphorated oil may be used without the turpentine.

"THE SUN'S" 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 up a prescription, which was published (for working
people) in _The New York Sun_, and took the name of "The Sun Cholera
Mixture." It is found to be the best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. It is to be commended for several reasons. It
is not to be mixed with liquor, and therefore will not be used as an
alcoholic beverage. Its ingredients are well known among all the
common people, and it will have no prejudice to combat; each of the
materials is in equal proportions to the others, and 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:--

Take equal parts of tincture of cayenne, tincture of opium, tincture
of rhubarb, essence of peppermint and spirits of camphor. Mix well.
Dose fifteen to thirty drops in a wine-glass of water, according to
age and violence of the attack. Repeat every fifteen or twenty minutes
until relief is obtained. No one who takes it in time will ever have
the cholera. Even when no cholera is anticipated, it is a valuable
remedy for ordinary summer complaints, and should always be kept in
readiness.

COMP. CATHARTIC ELIXIR.

The only pleasant and reliable cathartic in liquid form that can be
prescribed.
