This fruit has several uses, medicinal and other, but the most common us-.-. 

 except for food, is that of making tough meat tender. This is effected by rubbing 

 the meat with a slice of the green fruit or by wrapping it in papaya leaves over- 

 night. The ripe fruit is a cosmetic. The green fruit and the leaves are used as 

 soap. The roots are a nerve tonic. The seeds are anthelmintic, emmena^ogic, and 

 carminative, and are eaten as a delicacy and a thirst-quencher. The ripe fruit is 

 an ingredient in sirups and elixirs said to be expectorant, sedative, and tonic. 



More important still is the milky juice, which is used to dissolve the false mern 

 brane in diphtheria and to remove eczema, warts, ulcers, and intestinal worms. 

 P.-i.ucs i:; to 15 contain recipes for the use of this fruit.
