To Keep Oysters
Origin: London, England

Instructions
- Put them in a tub, and cover them with salt and water.
- Let them remain for 12 hours, when they are to be taken out, and allowed to stand for another 12 hours without water.
- If left without water every alternate 12 hours, they will be much better than if constantly kept in it.
- Never put the same water twice to them.
