Neat's Tongue. SCRAPE your tongue quite clean, dry it with a cloth, and then salt it with common salt, and half an ounce of salt-petre, well mixed together. Lay it in a deep pan, and turn it every day for a week or ten days. Then turn it again, and let it lay a week longer. Take it out of the pan, dry it with a cloth, strew flour on it, and hang it up in a moderate warm place to dry.
