do_v chief_o
proceed_v from_o two_o cause_n the_o first_o be_v from_o certain_a filthy_a phlegmy_a matter_n which_o the_o stomach_n and_o vessel_n do_v continual_o breathe_v and_o send_v forth_o which_o do_v

sour_a stink_a phlegmy_a matter_n which_o do_v not_o only_o increase_v the_o pain_n but_o cause_v the_o tooth_n to_o become_v loose_a and_o rot_a and_o for_o want_v of_o continual_a cleanse_n and_o wash_v those_o breathe_n and_o this_o phlegmy_a matter_n turn_v to_o putrefaction_n which_o do_v eat_v away_o the_o gum_n as_o though_o worm_n have_v eat_v they_o and_o this_o defect_n be_v general_o

2._o this_o distemper_n of_o the_o tooth_n and_o gum_n do_v also_o proceed_v from_o the_o various_a sort_n of_o meat_n and_o drink_n and_o more_o especial_o from_o the_o continual_a eat_n of_o flesh_n

much_o hot_a than_o the_o day-garment_n especial_o of_o those_o that_o draw_v the_o curtain_n of_o their_o window_n and_o bed_n so_o close_o that_o the_o pure_a spirit_n and_o thin_a refresh_a

must_v be_v matter_n beforehand_o otherwise_o outward_a cold_n can_v have_v no_o power_n to_o cause_v this_o pain_n the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v in_o all_o stoppage_n of_o the_o breast_n and_o other_o obstruction_n as_o cough_n and_o the_o like_a for_o if_o any_o part_n be_v obstruct_v or_o there_o be_v matter_n for_o distemper_n then_o on_o every_o small_a occasion_n of_o outward_a

never_o complain_v as_o daily_a experience_n do_v show_v for_o all_o outward_a cold_n and_o other_o accident_n of_o the_o like_a nature_n have_v no_o power_n to_o seize_v any_o part_n of_o the_o

most_o sure_a and_o never-failing_a way_n to_o prevent_v the_o disease_n and_o pain_n in_o the_o tooth_n and_o gum_n be_v every_o morning_n to_o wash_v your_o mouth_n with_o at_o least_o ten_o or_o
