The extract is not prepared at any of the large towns, but 

 at the places where the nomads encamp, and by them is 

 traded with in the towns, and thus exported to Persia proper 

 and India. This plant, or a variety of it, is indigenous in the 

 Kuram Valley, and might easily be cultivated at Quetta, 

 Kohat, Peshawur, Abottabad, and many otlier localities on our 

 north-western frontier. A preparation of liquorice made with 

 the wliey of Oxygal is called by the Turkomans ao-kariit ; this 

 is employed as a household remedy.
