The Pomegranate is supposed to have been intro- duced into southern Europe by the Carthaginians, whose Latin name of "Punicus" was thus given and derived. We also find a reference in the sacred scrip- tures. Theophrastus described it 300 years before the Christian era, and Pliny considered it one of the most valuable fruits, both as to its beauty and medicinal properties. The bark of the root is a well-known as- tringent employed in therapeutics, in dysentery and diarrhir-a; the rind of the fruit when boiled has for many generations past been the remedy for tenia, and a .ift-black, smooth writing ink is also made of it. The Pomeirranate is a native of some parts of Asia, and by some botanical authors is said to be also found in northern Africa and China.
