SKILLED operators, using fine instruments and anæsthetics, have done much to diminish this ill that flesh is heir to. But in the days before dentists, toothache was terrible, as is evident from what has been said of it. Apostles are reputed to have suffered much: St. Peter's toothache was cured by Christ (5 S. viii. 144; 10 S. ii. 259) ; and according to some commentators it was St. Paul's thorn in the flesh (Woodhead, Allestree, and Walker, Paraph. St. Paul,' 1675, p. 163). The appeal to St. Apollonia, the patron saint of the teeth, is noticed by Stillingfleet ( Idolatry in the Church of Rome,' ed. 2, 1672, p. 131); and Mr. Ford reports that in his time prayer was still made to her in Spain (Gatherings from Spain,' 1846, p. 259). Much about her is in N. & Q.' (2 S. i. 213, 323, 340; 3 S. vi. 178; 5 S. 9. Jane Barker's Poems,' 1688, poem by "Phi-viii. 144, 292; 6 S. i. 126). Pascal is said 6. Maggots,' by Sam.
