Rotfl Isn't that what Jack patched his crown with after he and Jill went tumbling down? Seriously, it is thought that mixing vinegar with brown paper can create a chemical reaction which produces a substance called DMSO. DMSO is a topical analgesic, so yes, if Jack had a sore crown, the right ammount of vinegar and brown paper could produce a substance that would make it hurt less on the surface.
