   This is a good cure for a toothache to put cold water into your mouth and to sit on a range and when the water would be boiling in your mouth. When the boiling water would touch the toothache it would be cured. This is another cure for a toothache to put a live frog into your mouth and when the frog would touch the toothache it would be cured.
