Directions

"We need not eat the tomato with fear and trembling, as many are wont to do. There is no evil about it, and Avhen we don't take care of our- selves it will take care of us. It is a deliHitful substitute for calomel, and we may wonder how the ancestral liver could have been kept comforta- ble w^ithout this anti-bilious food. That it is in- valuable, and one of the most healthful esculents in the vegetable kingdom, is the popular opinion. Its healthful qualities do not depend on its mode of preparation, and it may be eaten twice or thrice per day with like advantage, cooked or uncooked, Avith or without a dressinof, and to the utmost that the appetite requires. Its healthful qualities con- sist in its slight acidity, wdiich makes it as impor- tant as fruit, and when the diet is largely meat and bread, it is inestimable."
