Cure for the Tooth Ache.—A respectable citizen has handed us the following copy of the late Mr. Guy's infallible cure for the tooth ache. He has lately used it with complete success in his own family.
To a table spoonful of any kind of spirits add the same quantity of sharp vinegar, and a tea spoonful of common table salt—mix them well together; hold the liquid in the mouth, so that it can enter the cavity or hollow in the tooth; it will give almost instantaneous relief without any increase of pain.—Balt. pap.
