There is scarce any pain equal to that of the Tooth-ach. It proceeds from the influxion of a hot or cold humour, or the Tooth being hollow or rotten, from the entrance of ambient Air, and the refrigeration of cold Meat, or Drink.
The Internal causes are taken away by a due administration of Universal Remedies, and if the pain proceeds from
a hot cause, which is known by its sharpness and a great pulsation of the Tooth and Temples, it is mitigated by remedies contrary to it, as to wash the Mouth with Granate juice, Plantain Water, and a little Vinegar, all being boiled with Roses, Wild Granate Flow∣ers, and Sumach. If the Cause be the fluxion of a cold humour, which is dis∣••••rned by a heaviness of the Head and frequent spitting; the Teeth are profi∣tably washed with Garland-Libanotis, Sage Pierethre decocted in Wine and Vi∣negar, whereunto is added a little Srong-Water and dissolved Treacle. But if it pro∣ceeds from a rottenness of the Tooth, there is no better remedy than the drawing of it, and if it be but a Root, procure the corruption of it by a Cotten dipt in Aqua∣fortis, having first tried the Odontalgick Essence of Flubault.
