Take two tea-spoonsful of clarified honey, and a few drops of lavender-water, or any other agreeable perfume. Mix, and anoint the parts frequently. If the hands are affected, anoint them all over on going to bed, wearing your gloves all night, and wash with tepid milk and water in the morning. A night or two will effect a cure. Another excellent preparation is, LADY CONYNGHAM’S LIP-HONEY. Take two ounces of fine honey, one ounce of purified wax, half an ounce of silver litharge, the same quantity of myrrh. Mix over a slow fire, and add milk of roses, Eau de Cologne, or any other perfume you may prefer, and keep for use. EXCELLENT TOOTH-BRUSH. Procure two or three dozen of the fresh roots of marsh-mallows, and dry them carefully in the shade, so that they may not shrivel. They must be chosen about as thick as a cane, and cut to five or six inches long, then with a mallet bruise the ends of them very gently, for about half an inch down, in order to form a brush. Then take two ounces of dragon’s blood, four ounces of highly rectified spirit, and half an ounce of fresh conserve of roses, and put them in a glazed pipkin or pan, to dissolve over a gentle fire. When dissolved, put in your prepared mallow-roots, stirring them to make them take the dye equally. Continue this till no moisture remains in the vessel, when the roots will be hard, dry, and fit for use. If you take care of them, they will last you a considerable time. When you use this toothbrush, it may be dipped in the following: WASH FOR THE TEETH AND GUMS. Take the juice of half a lemon, a spoonful of very rough claret or port wine, ten grains of sulphate of quinine, a few drops of Eau de Cologne, or oil of bergamot. Mix, and keep in a well-stopped phial for use. LOTION FOR TOOTH-ACHE. Put two drams of camphor into an ounce of the oil of turpentine, and let it dissolve; when it will be fit for use. Cajeput oil is another valuable remedy for allaying the pain, when put into the hollow of the tooth. The most effectual, however, of all the remedies for destroying the sensibility of the nerve, is the putting of a red hot wire into the hollow, which will destroy the nerve, and prevent the return of the pain. MUCILAGE FOR TOOTH-ACHE. Take one dram of the powdered leaves of pyrethrum, and a sufficient quantity of gum arabic mucilage. Make a mass, divide it into twelve portions, and take one into the mouth, and let it lie till dissolved, as occasion requires. If an external application is preferred, the following may be rubbed on the outside of the jaw. LINIMENT FOR TOOTH-ACHE. Take an ounce of spirit of camphor, three drams of liquid ammonia, ten drops of essential oil of bergamot. Mix them in a phial for use.
