Description: |
| Most of the patents prior to 1836 were lost in the Dec. 1836 fire. Only about 2,000 of the almost 10,000 documents were recovered. Little is known about this patent. There are no patent drawings available. This patent is in the database for reference only.
“For a composition for Curing the Tooth-ache, preventing the teeth from decay, removing the tartar, and curing rheumatic pains; Thomas White, Pees Township, Belmont county, Ohio, July 29.
When we encounter quack medicines, we almost regret the rule which we have adopted, not to publish processes, or recipes, without the consent of the patentee; but still, as we think the rule a good one, it must not be violated.
The composition above referred to, consists of a number of stimulating articles, several of which, either alone, or in combination, have been frequently used to give temporary relief in cases of tooth-ache; such articles, for example, as camphorated brandy, laudanum, oil of peppermint, camphor, nitric acid, opodeldoc, Venice turpentine, and tar; all of which are to aid in curing those afflicted with tooth-ache, tartar, and rheumatism.”
Journal of the Franklin Institute Vol. 7, Oct. 1829 pgs. 265-266
(Opodeldoc: A saponaceous, camphorated liniment; a solution of soap in alcohol, with the addition of camphor and essential oils.)
