WAlnut-tree, in La∣tin Juglans.

The outward Bark dried, vo∣mits strongly: The Cat∣kins are a gentler Vomit. The fresh Nuts move the Belly: The Dry are hot, and hard to digest; they increase Choler, and cause a Cough. The Juice of the outward Bark gargl'd in the Mouth, is very useful in a Relaxation of the Al∣monds, and for an Inflam∣mation of the Throat. A Decoction of the outward Bark of the green Nut for∣ces Worms out of their Holes. The green and un∣ripe Nuts candied with the Bark on, gently move the Belly, two or three being taken at Bed-time. The Tree tap'd in the Spring, yields a great quantity of Liquor, but it is not so pleasant as that of the Birch-tree. 'Tis said to be peculiarly proper for Ob∣structions

of the Courses. The Nuts being infus'd in Water till the Skin of the Kernels comes off, then in∣fuse them two Days in A∣qua vitae: Take two or three of them daily, in the Morning fasting, for ten Days before the usual time of their Flowing. The Oyl of the Nut, mix'd with Oyl of Almonds, is excel∣lent in the Stone; two or three Ounces of it may be taken inwardly at a time. See Mr. Boyl, of Specifick Remedies, pag. 163.
