Charm for the Tooth-ache
By G. TR.
The following doggerel, to be written on a piece of parchment, and worn round the neck next to the skin: "When Peter sat at Jerusalems gate His teeth did most sorely eake (ache) Ask counsel of Christ and follow me Of the tooth eake you shall be ever free Not you a Lone but also all those Who carry these few Laines safe under clothes In the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghoste."
