PRAIRIE OYSTER.

This simple but very nutritious drink may be taken by any person of the most delicate digestion, and has become one of the most popular delicacies since its introduction by me at Messrs.Spiers and Pond's. Its modeof preparation is verysimple. Into a wine glass put a new-laid egg;add halfa tea-spoonful ofvinegar,dropping it gently- down on the inside ofthe glass; then drop on the yolk alittle com mon salt, sufficient not to quite cover half the size of a threepenny- piece; pepper according to taste. The way to take this should be by placing the glass with the vinegar furthest from the mouth and swallow the contents. The vinegar being the last gives it more of an oyster-like flavour. j^ote.—This can be taken with or without the white of the egg, according to taste.
