Prevented T0OTHACHE.
The Old Romans Did It by Dsvourins
Two Rats q Month.

The Old Romans Did It by Dsvourins
Two Rats q Month.
If it be true that ancient remedies
are always the best it may be Of in
terest to those afflicted with dental
troubles to know how the ancient
Romans dealt with such ills. The Qui-
rites recognized two types Of treat
ment, the magical and the medical.
The following arc some Of the prescrip-
tons advised by the magicians:
Take the head Of a 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 vertebra will serve
to scarify the gum provided that it 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 it
be dried in hole in a 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 a hollow tooth, but it is
equally simple to chew an adder's
Heart.
Prevention being better than cure, a
sovereign preventive will be found in
the eating Of two rats a month.-Lon-
