- (continued from previous page)A prayer for a toothache.St. Peter sat on a marble stone,
Christ came to him when he was alone,
He said "St Peter why do you wake"?
Oh! my Lord it is a toothache,
Whoever says this prayer thrice by night and thrice by day for my sake,
Will never be troubled with a toothache. - Another cure for a toothache.
The remains of a candle left after a wake in a house were rubbed to the jaw, and this was supposed to be a cure for a toothache.- Collector
