How to Cure a Toothache

1779

“The tooth-ach is often occasioned by an impure serum, which corrodes the membranes and nerves; very frequently brought on by colds, and rheumatic complaints, more particularly after a sudden change of weather… The best radical cure is to extract the tooth, if it can be conveniently effected. If the tooth affected be not one of the grinders, it may be replaced by one drawn fresh from a healthy person, which often becomes as useful and lasting as the original one could have been.”
