THE ToxAro-Dr. Bennett, professor in the
Medical College Of Lake Erie, Ohio, made the |
following statements, IN one of his lectures be-
fore the students, upon the subject Of the To- |
mato:
l. That it is one Of the most powerful deob- |
struents of the Materia Medica, and that in all
those affections Of the liver, and other organs
where calomel is indicated, it is probably the
most effective, and least harmful remedial agent
known by the profession.
2. That a chemical extract will probably soon
be obtained from it which will altogether super
TSa, ' he has successful; ~, s:sssd
diarrhona with this article alone.
4. That when used as an rticle Of dirt, it 1ss
almost a sovereign remedy for dyspepsia or indi-
gestion.
s. That persons removing from the East or
North to the West or South, shoc:d by all means
make of it as aliment, it would in that
event, save them from the danger attendant upon
those violent bilious attacks to which almost all
unnacclimated persons are liable.
8. That the citizens in general should make
use Of il either raw, cooked, or in the form OF
catsup with their daily food, it is the most
healthy article Of the Materia Alimentaria.
We know but little Of the medical properties Of
the Tomato although we satisfied that it 10 one
Of the most wholesome Of vegetables. We are
pleased to learn however, that professor Bennett
has acknowledged the necessity, in this indirect
| manner, Of procuring a substitute for calomel.
If it is s1sOvereign remedy for dyspepsia or in-
digestion" as he states, the medical faculty may
announce that they have discovered, for the hrst
time, how to this most distressing maiady.
The doctors are just beginning to learn that they
have been CROPPING their whole life time in the
dark.
The following method Of preserving tomatoes,
was translated from the French by Gen. Dear
born, for the New England Farmer: The boiling
required for the preservation OF fruits, always
changes their quality, and sometimes entirely al
tiers their character; and it often happens, when
the fruits are acid, rs in the Tomato, that they
imbibe in the copper vessels in which they are
stewed to = certain censistence, metallic Princi-
pies which are injurious to health This double
method for preserving the tomato, which does
not alter the quality Of this fruit, and does not
require the action Of heat
!. sufficient quantity Of salt is dissolved in
!. spring or river water to make it strong enough
to bear an egg; select perfectly ripe tomatoes
Av>l> Al
in stone or glazed earthen pot, which IS to b
n filed with the brine; cover the pot with deer
plate in such . manner that it presses upon th<
fruit, and by this simple process tomatoes may b
preserved more than 4 year without attention
Il Before cooking they should be soaked in fresl
!, water, for several hours.
Mrs. Childs has given some useful instructions
:. for cooking this excellent vegetable. She says
. Tomatoes should be skinned by pouring boilin,
e water over them. After they are skinned, tbey
N should be stewed half an hour, in tin, with q lii
= tie SALT . small bit Of butter and .poooful O
water. This method is for sauce to eat with roas
" meat for dinner. When picked green, tomatoe
j. make an excellent pickle An excellent catsu
~ may be made of them, when ripe, in the follow
IS ing manner. The vegetable should be squeez
81 ed up in the hand, salt put to them, and set b
IN for twenty hours, after being passed throug

d liquid is necessary as the tomatoes very iuc,
Ie A good deal Of salt and spice is necessary
- keep the catsup we'll 1t is delicious with roal
meat; and a cupful adds much to the richness
soup and chowder. The garlic should b take
a. on, before the catsup is bottled.
