  1. Toothache

    Share Share Post
    1. If a person carries a porcupine's tooth in his pocket and when he has toothache rubs it to the teeth affected he will get better.
    2. If a man who has toothache makes a promise to keep from shaving on Sundays he is supposed to get better and never again to take toothache.
