  1. When a person has toothache get a frog and put him in the mouth and after a while it would go.
    Fill your mouth full of water put your back to the fire and when the water boils the toothache is cured.
    Wash your face with two cups of hot milk and a cup of boiling water and this will cure the toothache.
