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

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.
