What reading level is The Story of the Papaw book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The Carica papaya contains a glucosidal body, caricin. This I have never been able to obtain except from the seed, in which it is fairly abundant. A glucoside resembling sinegrin may also be extracted. The seeds also contain the glucoside, splitting ferment myrosin. The glucoside resides within the hard inner coating of the seed, while the myrosin ferment is secreted in the gelatinous outer envelope. ALKALOID An alkaloid, carpame, has been separated from the Carica papaya. The source so far not...ed has been the leaves. In my experiments the yield was small. I have noted traces of alkaloidal reaction with Mayer's reagent from alkaline ether washings, from the latex, but i f cannot be stated that the alkaloid is present in this product. It is soluble in absolute alcohol, amylic, alcohol, chloroform, benzine and in water acidulated with hydrochloric acid. Its physiological action is quite similar to that of digitalis, a heart depressant. 17 MARKET PREPARATIONS OF THE PAPAW. There are numerous preparations in our own and in the European markets claiming to he the ferment of the papaw.
