‘It will procure a good stomach, and also preserve and keep the same from any evil humors to breed therein–This is an excellent medicine, often proved, and easy to be made’. Take as much as a Walnut every day for 10 days on an empty Stomach. (A Thousand Notable Things on Various Subjects, By Thomas Lupton, London, 1815)

This is an interesting formula as it uses Pomegranate peel; the peel or seed are often used for Digestive debility in Ayurveda and Tibetan Medicine.
