8 gout, and affords an almost miraculous relief to those pains

10 when taken internally : in the latter mode, it carries off* the cause
11 of the disease by diuresis (Barton’s Flora Medica). The bark
12 of the root is stated to be rubefacient , and the inner bark of the
13 stem, emetic. The sap of the walnut-tree is very rich in sugar.
