Medicines for the Teeth. For the Tooth-ache

Take the inner Rine of an Eldar Tree, and bruise it a little, and put thereto a little Pepper, and make it in Balls, and lay it to your Teeth, and be whole.

The cause of these impediments may come, either by an humour descending out of the Head to the Teeth, or Gummes, or by corroding or eating of Worms, or corruption of Blood, lying and being upon, and betwixt the Teeth: or it may come by drinking of hot Wines, eating of hot Spices, or hot Apples, Pears, Cherries, and such like; and it may come of a hot Liver or Stomach: and ever beware of pulling out of thy Teeth, for pull out once, and pull out more, but if it be hollow pull it out, for it will rot still more and more; do what thou canst.
