Local Cures
Here is a cure for a tooth ache. Get a poppy leaf and put it in a pot with a little water and then them boil. When they are boiling put them in your mouth at the tooth ache. Keep it there for about three minutes and the pain will be gone. Another cure for a tooth ache is get a tobacco leaf and keep chewing it. Let the juice go into the tooth. Here is a cure for a gum boil get a spoonful of salt. Then put it in a cup half full of water and gargle your mouth with them. Then the gum-boil will be gone. Henry Evans
