_Pomegranate Bark._
What has been said respecting the Gall-nut, applies with equal truth to
this substance. The efficacy of the bark of the root of the pomegranate,
says Dr. Ainslie (_Mat. Med. of Hindostan_), as a remedy for the tape
worm is now well established in India; it is given in decoction,
prepared with two ounces of the fresh bark, boiled in a pint and a half
of water until only three quarters of a pint remain.
