Medicines for the Teeth. For the Tooth-ach

Take the green part of Eldar Rine, not the outermost, nor the innermost, but the green in the middle between both, and Sage, Rue, and Ginger, and a good deal of Salt, then grind them all together in a mortar, and seeth it in white Wine, and make a Plaister thereof, and lay to thy Cheek, and be whole.

Another for the same

Take a Pint of the strongest Vinegar thou canst get, and a handfull of Sage, the Root of a red Nettle the quantity of a Fingers length, and as much of the Rine of an Oke, and cut them in little pieces, and so let the Vinegar and all the rest seeth together from a Pint, then let the Patient chew it on the fore Tooth, and so dresse him Evening and Morning, half of it at each time, and this shall help him for ever. Probatum est.
