For the Toothach.

Take a spoonful of Aqua vitae, and a spoon∣ul of Triackle, half a spoonful of Pepper in fine powder, boil all these together upon a Chaffing-dish of coles, and then put it into a box, and put it into the Tooth where the pain is.

Fill the hollow Tooth with the gum of Ivy, it will take away the Tooth-ach.

Touch the Tooth that aketh with the root of water Crowfoot' incontinent it taketh ∣way the pain and breaketh the tooth.

In vehement ach, put a little of the juice of ground Ivy in thine ear, on that side as thy ach is, it will a little grieve thee, but incon∣tnent thy Teeth shall cease aching.

Put the powder of red Coral in the hole of thy Tooth, and it will fall out by the root.

Put Henbane seed upon coles, and receive the smoak thereof into thy teeth by holding ty mouth over it. It killeth the worms and aswageth the pain; this hath ben proved.

That thy Teeth never ake, take the powder that cometh of filing of an Harts horn, and let it seethe in water in a new earthen pot, and so put it into thy mouth where thy grief is.
