The Walnut. The unripe fruit, in the state in which it is pickled, was formerly esteemed to be anthelmintic. The putamen or green rind of the walnut has been celebrated as a powerful antisyphilitic, and used as a sort of diet drink. The kernel is an agreeable article of dessert; but, like all nuts, is difficult of digestion. The expressed oil, Huile de Noix, is used in France as an aliment, and, like other fixed oils, is laxative. Various preparations of the leaves have been recommended in scrofulous affections.
