"(1) Carry a dead person's tooth in the left waistcoat pocket.

(2) Bite a tooth from the jaw of a disinterred skull.

(3) "As Peter sat weeping on a stone our Saviour passed by and said, 'Peter, why weepest thou ?' Peter said unto Him, ' I have got the toothache.' Our Saviour replied, 'Arise and be sound.'"

And whosoever keeps this in memory or in writing will never suffer from toothache.
