TONGUES. When a tongue is intended to be eaten cold, season it with
common salt and saltpetre, brown sugar, a little bay salt, pepper,
cloves, mace, and allspice, in fine powder, and let it lie a fortnight.
Then take away the pickle, put the tongue into a small pan, and lay some
butter on it. Cover it with brown crust, and bake it slowly till it
becomes so tender that a straw would go through it. The thin part of
tongues, when hung up to dry, grates like hung beef, and also makes a
fine addition to the flavour of omlets.--To boil a tongue. If it is a
dried tongue, soak it over night; the next day put it into cold water,
and let it have a good deal of room; it will take at least four hours.
If it is a green tongue out of the pickle, you need not soak it, but it
will require near the same time. About an hour before you send it to
table, take it out and blanch it, then put it into the pot again till
you want it, by this means it will eat the tenderer.

TONGUE AND UDDER. Clean the tongue nicely, rub it with salt, a very
little saltpetre, and a little coarse sugar, and let it lie for two or
three days. When to be dressed, have a fresh tender udder with some fat
to it, and boil that and the tongue gently till half done. Take them
very clean out of the water, then tie the thick end of the one to the
thin end of the other, and roast them with a few cloves stuck into the
udder. Serve them up with gravy in the dish, and currant jelly in a
tureen. A dried tongue to be boiled, requires to be previously soaked
for ten or twelve hours. A tongue out of pickle is only to be washed,
and boiled in the same way. It will take four hours to do it well, and
for the first two hours it should only simmer. About an hour before it
is done it should be taken up and peeled, and then put into the boiler
again to finish it. Serve it up with turnips nicely mashed, and laid
round it.

TOOTH ACH. The best possible preventive of this disorder is to keep the
teeth clean, as directed for the Teeth and Gums. If the gums be
inflamed, recourse should be had to bleeding by leeches, and blisters
behind the ears. A few drops of laudanum in cotton, laid on the tooth,
will sometimes afford relief. In some cases, vitriolic aether dropped on
the cheek, and the hand held to the part till the liquid is evaporated,
is found to answer the purpose. But it is much easier to prescribe the
means of preventing the disorder, than to point out a specific remedy;
