And oil of cloves on a cotton ball, put on the tooth, for an tooth ache. This was something the teacher did for us at school. And my favorite is something a friend of mine told me about 45 years ago. When you have a speck in your eye and just can't seem to see it or get it out, pull down your lower lid, and place a flax seed inside (no you don't even feel it after a second or so). In the morning, whatever was in your eye will have been drawn to the flaxseed and you can take it right out. It works like a magnet!! Diane
