DENTIFRICE. 445 



SOME COURT STICKING-PLASTER, 



to enable you to walk in comfort after being galled by a water- 

 boot. 



(See directions under the head of " Water-boots.") 

 I have now, I believe, mentioned all the articles of 

 my pharmacy, and next to them must come the 



DENTIFRICE. 



BRUSH your teeth every morning, with Spanish Sabilia snuff 

 (which may be had in perfection, from Fribourg and Treyer, 

 Haymarket), and every night with a little arquebusade, or brandy; 

 and keep, in the bottle containing it, a small piece of camphor. 

 This will not only make it a tenfold greater preservative, but 

 will prevent the vassals of the place from drinking it. 



Never put cold water to your teeth, but always use it luke- 

 warm. 



If any thing will prevent or cure a tooth-ache, 

 except aperient medicines, to reduce the inflamma- 

 tion, or the sovereign remedy of Mr. Whiteford's 

 patent instrument, it will, I have reason to think, be 

 that which has been here mentioned. At all events, 

 some of the first dentists in London and Paris admit, 

 that this remedy is a most excellent preservative. I, 

 therefore, do not hesitate to say, that for a sports- 

 man, and particularly for a wildfowl-shooter, it may 

 be worthy of insertion. 



I have been lately told by a friend who rarely errs in 

 his prescriptions, that the best cure for a tooth-ache is 



One tablespoonful of rum, 

 Another of vinegar, 

 And a teaspoonful of salt, 

 mixed together, and then held in the mouth.
