CHAP. XLVI. Of the pains in the Teeth.

THe pain of the teeth is an accidentall disease, which cometh of divers and sundry causes, of the which causes, I will shew the chiefest. It cometh sometimes of a Rheum in the head, or of a Catarr, or of humiditie in the

head, and divers other wayes. Neverthelesse, let it come which way it will, it proceedeth of the head and stomack, the which sendeth up vapours, and then fall down again, and cause that pain, and the remedie is this: First, give them our Ma∣gistrale Syrupo five or six daies, the which purgeth the blood, and evacuateth the bodie; that being done, take our Ele∣ctuario angelico, three times according to the receipt, for this evacuateth the stomack and purgeth the head; and then take our Aqua reale, and hold it in thy mouth a Pater-noster while, and then spit it forth again, and with this order thou shalt help all manner of pains in the teeth, except they bee rotten stumps; and then the best way is to take them forth with an Instrument: but if thou wilt not take them forth and ease the pain, thou mayest touch them with Aqua fortis untill the mar∣row be mortified? that being done, you shall hold our Aqua balsami two or three times in your mouth in a day, untill the pain bee gone, and so with this order thou mayest keep them without pain. Also I will shew thee another easie way. Take Henbane seed, and mix it with white Waxe, then cast it on the coals, and hold thy mouth over it to receive the fume, and then thy pain will cease if they be rotten teeth; and this it doth by stupefaction. Also it will be good to hold in thy mouth Mastick, Pellitorie, and Allom, after ye have pur∣ged, for this draweth down the matter.
