THE charge that the tomato produces
cancer is no longer credited, but now
Dr. w. L. English says that it acts as a
heart poison, and in aggravated cases
it sets up an active fermentation in the
entire alimentary tract. The heart
action is rendered irregular, the suf-
ferer gasps for breath, and the steady
use of the vegetable as a food is likely
to produce organic as we'll as functional
trouble. He admits that the symp.
toms of poisoning are not marked ex-
cept in rare cases.
