    There are several ways of curing teeth aches and headaches.
    One of the ways of curing a toothache is to get wadding steeped in iodine and put in the little hole in the tooth and keep them in the little hole for two or three hours and that would cure it.
    Some people take aspros with cool water when they would be in bed, for to cure a toothache.
