59. A Remedy against Tooth-ach.
The Tooth-ach proceeds from divers as well cold as hot causes; in case it is occa∣sioned by cold, then use these following means.
You shall rinse the Teeth with strong vinegar, in which Wormwood is boyl'd; Strawberries, or red-wine, in which are boyl'd leaves of Strawberries, with La∣vender, Sage, and Marjoram; or White-Wine wherein the leaves and Nots of the Cypress-tree, Juniper-berries, and Roses, Mirtle-leaves, are boiled; or the Flowers of Lavender, Cinamon, Fenickle, Roots of Sparagus boiled in Wine: oyl of Juniper-tree is good being put in the Teeth if they are hollow; but this following is better.
Oyl of Pepper, Cloves, Sage, Bame, Oyl of Spike and Aqua-fortis, being gent∣ly put into the hollow Tooth with Cot∣ton, takes away the pain, and breaketh it if it is corrupted.
