the_o tooth_n in_o reference_n to_o adult_v person_n and_o such_o as_o be_v past_a childhood_n we_o shall_v explain_v in_o this_o section_n as_o succinct_o and_o withal_o as_o clear_o as_o we_o can_v

the_o best_a way_n to_o use_v it_o be_v with_o a_o stick_n of_o liquorish_a beat_v at_o one_o end_n into_o small_a thread_n like_o a_o comb-brush_n or_o little_a broom_n with_o which_o be_v dip_v in_o

the_o gum_n observe_v to_o use_v the_o same_o method_n at_o the_o come_n out_o of_o every_o tooth_n which_o you_o may_v know_v by_o the_o forego_n token_n now_o the_o tooth_n be_v all_o come_v out_o
