A Gargle with Pellitory.
Take Pellitory of Spain half an ounce; Seeds of white Poppy and Henbane, each 2 drams; Cloves half a dram; white Wine half a pint; Vinegar 4 ounces; boil 'till it come to half a pint; then strain and add Brandy 2 ounces.
By vellicating the Parts, melting down gross Phlegm and making it flow, it powerfully draweth both it and sharp Serum out of the Gums and Glands. And by appeasing enraged Spirits, and composing their dolorific Conflicts; it extinguisheth the sense of Pain, and by warming the Parts, discussing the Tumor and restoring their elasticity, hinders any further afflux of Humors. And so Reason tells us, and Experience mostly confirms it, that 'tis a Noble, and every way well appointed Remedy for the Tooth Ach.
