An Aluminous Epithem.
Take burnt Alume powder'd half an ounce; Nutmeg 1 dram; honey of Roses as much as is sufficient to make it of the Consistence of an Ointment, which spread upon Paper, and bind upon that side of the Face that is in pain, with a convenient Cloth.
The Tooth Ach is entitled to it, and it hath place, when the Cause is not an hollow, rotten Tooth, but a sharp Rheum affecting the whole Jaw, and one side of the Face, which bringeth a conflux of Humours, and Inflammation. For it repels very powerfully.
