I WOMAN WHO WORKS.

THE PAPAW FRUIT.

}

We know a good deal about the papaw or papaya (erroneously called "popoy" by some people) seeing that the fruit is no common with es, but the following article from the American Journal of Pharmacy 'ells us a lot that we fancy most peuple have never heard before:-

Quile universal is the knowledge of the

unique property that has given to the papaw its worldwide fa ne, viz, the power of its milky Juí e to soften and dissolve tough meat. The statement has passed current in our journals that the emanations from this tree will dissolve | and digest albumen, and that it is the custom of natives to hang-meat-and- chickens in the branches of a tree to render them tender and edible The natives often go further than this; they state that if male animals browse under The papaw tree, they thereby become cmasculated. If we compare this statement with the alleged property of the roots as a generative tonic, we shall have a marvellous combination of an aphrodisiac and an aosphro- disiac in the same plant.

It is needless to urge that such stories are 19 exaggerations of the pepsin like properties of

the fruit.

There is a story of a Monumental Artist who, being bidden to carve an a tombstore the well

known text,

"A GOOD WOMAN IS A CROWN TO HER HUSBAND," found himself short of space, and ; ut instead is 5s, to her husband"! The life history of a clever woman and a good wife, who has certainly been worth many a crown to her husband, comes from a Welsh mining town.

It is none too easy a tusk to be a good woman of business and a good housewife as well, Mrs. Hands is both. "To look after the -hop is a pleasure," was her cheely summary of her feeling on the matter, and if she were

asked to give up the business, she would 19suredly regard the proposal with no favour.

The native uses of the papaw are numerous and varied. The bark is used in the manufacture of rapes; the fruit is edible, and according to the local conditions, may be sweet, refreshing, and agreeable, or in other Incalities it is sickly, sweet, and insipid. The fruit finds a large consumption by the natives, and is considered very nutritious.

At the corner of a sugar-cane field, where the ragged canes bend over in a wild green, brown, and yellow tangle, there will be stand- ing a papaw-tree, and, if the time of the papaw tree has quite come, beneath the tree will be assembled a half-dozen negroes.

The ripe fruit is eaten as we eat melons. Salt enhances the flavour, and some’users add sugar. The fruits must be perfectly ripe when enten law, as the green fruit contains a strongly marked acrid principle. The colour of the ripe fruit is more or less that of our very yellow mask melon. The sweetness of its resinous, pulpy juice clings to the tongue and remains prevalent for some hours.

The natives enjoy the flavour, while the

'young and old, producing," according to the words of a French writer, "the most beautiful specimens of the human race."

The meat in these countries is tough and tasteless, beef, mutton, pork or fowl have the same flavour, and are as tough as hickory wood; boiling until they fail to pieces does not ronder them any more tender, they simply change from solid wood to fine tough splinters.

TERRACE,

Talking to the representative of a local news paper at her bone (12 Aberfair-crescent, Merthyr Vale, Wales), Mrs. Hands, who is 27 years old, said:

Six years since I was laid low with a terrible attack of rheumatism; three years later I had eaterie fever, which left me prostrated with dropsy and heart disease. But thanks to Dr. Williams pink pills for pale people I am now a strong and healthy woman.

"Many of my friends have expressed surprise at my recovery. I need not tell you how terrible the pains of rheumatism are. A slight attack gives people a lot to grumble about, but I had it in its worst form, and went through

in and around Tranent.

Mr. Craven said: "But for them I would not have been able to work to-day. Four years ago, when at work on a farm, I began to have severe pains in my left leg, the pain shooting up from my toes to my hip, and do al! │1 could I could not get rid of it. At nights 1 was afraid to turn in my bed, I cou'd not stand. If I tried to walk the effort caused me fearful agony.

"You see that wooden step by the door? Well, I could not raise my foot over it. I was quite at a loss what to do. At last a friend said, 'Why don't you take Dr. Williams' pink pills for pale people? They'll enrich your blood and so cure your rheumatism.' I sent for a bottle, and they made new blood in me. I wakened one morning without feeling the

firm a believer am I now in Dr. Williams' pink pills that I recommend them to all the miners, as they are liable to rheumatism, and I know for a fact that many of them about here take these pills with the best results,

A plant so universally distributed and posses. sed with such varied properties naturally takes an important place in the native materia medica. The seeds are reputed as an helmintic and emmenagogue; they are also used as a thirst quencher, form component parts of a drink used in fevers, as well as being used as a cer- minative. Syrups, wines, and elixus made from the ripe fruit are expectorant, sedative, and

tonic..

A malady, which the natives call the "cocos bag," is a troublesome tropical disease, reputed to be bereditary and contagious; at all events, it seems to lurk in the blood of persons of other- wise apparently good health and habits.

"I should have mentioned also that when I began to take Dr. Williams' pink pills I had no appetite; after a few doses of the pills I was always ready for my meals. I am quite well now, being able to go about with perfect ease."

"Yes," said his listening son, "father has become wonderfully well since he commenced to take these pillu. Nothing else would touch

his trouble,"

"My other son, William," asked Mr. Craven, "has also been greatly benefited by them. He matism ensued, which was cured by Dr. Williams pink pills. He now works regularly every day,"

The slight pimples accompanying the first stages of the yaws soon spread into ulcerous sores that cover the entire body. Here, too, the claim is made that a slice of the papaw rubbed over the pimples will abort them. It is also claimed that the ulcers may be cleaned in a similar fashion.

I witnessed a most striking cleansing of a black foot in which the chiga had bred and laid its eggs, producing a mass of foulness beyond description. Hear a pante of the papaw milk was pushed into the seething mass and kept there for forty-eight hours. It was then forhed, curetted, and antiseptics wère applled.

Mr. Craven gave his unqualified permission for the interview to be published in the news- papers, and, indeed, such is the fame of the pills in all walks of life that those who have benefited by them in cases of anæmia, bilious. ness, consumption, gout, rheumatism, sciatica, paralysis, and other disorders, are generally ready to publish their experiences. Even ladies, whose modesty would keep them silent but for their kind anxiety to benefit their suffering sisters, do not hesitate to make known the extraordinary relief which the genuine pills- | Dr. Williams'—are capable of affording in the recurrent miseries to which so many are subject. Dr. Williams' medicine company, Holborn viaduct, London, send a bottle post free for two shillings and ninepence (or six bottles for thirteen and nine) if there is any difficulty la obtaining the genuine pills at shops. Substitutes, which do not bear Dr. Williams' It is thanks to the name are worthless.
