CURE FOR TOOTHACHE by ROWLAND EYLES EGERTON-WARBURTON

First Line: WHY YOU SHOULD SUFFER SO MUCH PAIN
Last Line: "AS MA DOES,—IN A BASIN?"
Subject(s): PAIN; TEETH; SUFFERING; MISERY; TOOTHACHES;

'WHY you should suffer so much pain
I cannot tell," said little Jane,
A visitor embracing:
"Out from your mouth why don't you take
Your teeth at once, and let them ache,
As Ma does,—in a basin?"
