prevalence ofCholera, and but few persons are ac-
quaintcd with the proper mode of preparing it for

loving receipt as practised in Carolina
LIST. The Rice must be thoroughly scrubbed and
rinsed in several waters, until the oury PARTICLES
which arc often sour musty, are entirely rcmov-
ed.
2nd. a handful Of salt should he thrown into a
pot of water which must boil before the Rice is
sprinkled in.
3D.. Tho rice should be boiled steadily twelve
minutes by the watch; the water should then be
poured Oft and the pot covered and set close to the
fire to steam, for ten minutes.
Thus prepared, and eaten with gravy, milk, but
ter, &c. Rice is one of the most dgestibe articles
of food in nature; but it, the contrary be badly
cooked, few substances apt to disorder the
alimentary system. There are two extremes to
be avoided LIST it ought not to be eaten if at all raw
This state is detectcdby crushing few grains be-
tween the fingers; if small chalky limp is found
in the centre of the grain, the rice is sufficient
II cooked. But on the other hand it cannot be too
dry or grainy, by which l mean separated. The
philosophy Of this last point is twofod LIST unless
the water absorbed in the boiling process is evapo-
rated, the stomach would be surchargcd with fluid.
Ind III the grain be not separate, in other words,
IT. rice is eaten in starchy pastclike form, the
gaStrick Juices cannot penetrate it readily. have
often heard my dyspcptick friends, who had been
ordered TO cat rice complain that it disagreed with
them, until communicated the above receipt.
