Abstract:
Home remedies were by force a necessity in both dental and medical cases, and as likely to cure as not. Practically all homes were supplied with ingredients for home remedies. For example, pine tar could kill a tooth ache, horehound could be boiled as a syrup for colds, and nutmeg could ease an upset stomach.
