Medicines for the Teeth. For the Tooth-Ach

Take the Root of Henbane, and seeth it in Vinegar, and hold in thy Mouth the Decodtion thereof, and the pain of the Teeth will away straight: or take Hysope, and make a decoction with Vinegar, ans wash your Mouth, and Teeth therewith being hot, and the pain will away.

Another for the same

Take Wheat bran, and good stale Ale, and make it thick like Mustard, and let it soke therein a quarter of an hour, then strain it, and put thereto the Powder of Pepper a good quantity, and some of the Juice of Rue, and make it somewhat thick, and put it into a little bag of linnen cloth, and lay it between thy Cheek and they Teeth, and lie down on that side, and let the Water run out of thy Mouth, and use it three or four times, and thou shalt never have the Tooth ach more: or take Hounds tongue, and stamp it, and frie it with Butter, and make a Plaister thereof, and bind it to thy Cheek on that side that the pain is, and thou shalt be whole. Proved.
