Hurtin' that sounds like the story of Dr. Christopher who served in the army as a medic and cured a man's skin affliction using black walnuts, just as you report. Christopher sent back to Utah for the black walnuts. He was an amazing herbalist and the story of his life is just as amazing. Story about the army and some of his early life is found here: Doctor Christopher's story
