1 Tooth Ache Soothed By Various Home Remedies He moaned and groaned, held his head and paced the floor. By evening he wasn't sure but what his entire face was wrack ed with pain instead of just one tooth that had begun to ache. '"Hurts like the toothache" be came meaningful. He couldn't lie down or sit up; he was mis erable all over. He had a tooth ache. Why didn't he go to a dentist? A logical question, but at the time there were very few den tists and what few there were occupied positions in a city far away and by horse and buggy it would have been a two-day trip. The pioneer dentist used crude tools probably they were not even called instruments at the time strength and a meager knowledge of tooth extraction. Aching teeth had to be handled by members of one's own house hold. Here was where folk medi cine must be the solution and usually the pioneer housewife was equal to the occasion or close to it; anyway, she tried. Every household had its favorite corrective. One school of thought maintained that hot compresses were the answer; another be lieved cold compresses brought more relief. Over a period of time there probably were dozens of methods tried and discarded. One of the choice remedies was the black walnut treatment. Walnut Remedy The meat of a juicy black walnut was crushed to a pulp and the mass packed into the cavity. The oil contained in the nut meat was what was sup posed to be helpful. The house wife knew nut meats contained a fatty substance and she pre sumed there was a little some thing else in the flesh of the walnut tree that would numb the jumping nerve in a tooth that was acting up. This may have been the same line of thought used when oil of cloves was available. A little on a piece of cotton tasted good and some patients felt the pain of an aching tooth was lessened. Trou ble was very few pioneer fam ilies had camphor or oil of cloves in what answered at the time for a medicine cabinet. Various wild plants from the nearby forest or field were ex perimented with, one of which later became a standard rem edy. This was the milfoil or yarrow. This plant, really a weed, was available anywhere in whichever section of America the toothache sufferer lived. The green leaves of the plant were chewed, some of the acid juice would run into the cavity and numb the nerve. Of course the toothache had to occur some time between June and Novem ber, for that was the time of the year when leaves were green. Seasonal Remedies The suffering victim, willing lo try anything that promised relief, even if he suspected the leaves were poisonous, chewed 35" Mon Desr DINING INN -CENTRAL POINT WILL BE CLOSED TONIGHT AND MONDAY NIGHT . . . and every Sunday and Monday night during the Fall season.

W ATKINS llfiWtf u4 Tribunal if'Utlt 196)1 and probably kept his fingers ! crossed, w hethor or not the yar row juice numbed the nerve is not recorded in the history books. So many of Uie remedies were seasonal that one had to have the affliction, whatever it was, at the time of the year when the remedy was available. The cycle of plant growth took no notice of human ailments. The housewife could store a walnut, a jar of honey, or some dried leaves, but when the ground was frozen many of her remedies were not to be had. We like to believe those early Americans endured pain and hardship with a stolid calmness and suffered in silence. But there must be many instances where history would have taken a different turn if some of the great or the near-great, suffered with a toothache, when endur ance too, must have been a mark of greatness.
