24 tons of bark are annually exported from the tract 
between Ramganga and the Sarda. The outer bark 
yields on distillation an essential oil. From 1 cwt. of 
bark f lb. oil is obtained. The oil has a pale yellow 
colour and a smell of cinnamon oil, although very 
inferior to it in quality. It is chiefly used in the manu- 
facture of soap, especially what is called military soap.^ 
Bark and leaves are both used in native medicine for 
colic, diarrhoea, and other bowel ailments.
