PREVENTED TOOTHACHE.
The Old Romans Did II by Devouring
Two Rats a Month.

Two Rats a Month.
IL II be true that ancient remedies
are always the best 1t may be of in
terest to those afflicted with dental
troubles TO know how the ancient
Romans dealt with such Ills. The Out,
rites recognized two types of treat
ment, the magical and the medical.
The following are some of the prescrip-
tons advised by the magicians:
Take the head OF dog that has
died of rabies. mix the ash with oil of
cyprus and inject the product into the
ear of the affected side.
A water snakes yertebra will serve
to scarify the gum provided that 1t be
obtained from a white skinned snake,
or for the same purpose may be used
a lizards frontal bone obtained when
the moon Is full, or, If that fail, a
chicken bone will do. provided that 1t
be dried in hole In wall and thrown
away Immediately after used.
1t Is good treatment to inject into
an aching ear oil of lemon in which
have been macerated mallow bugs, even
should this last give rise to itching.
A worm fed on a particular herb or
a cabbage caterpillar can conveniently
be placed in hollow tooth. but 1t is
equally simple to chew an adder's
heart.
