Tomatoes and Cancer,

The statement has been made that
tomatoes are the cause of cancer, and We
have seen long arguments detailing the
dangers that face us when we eat q
tomato. The Sanitary Home has traced
down the origin OF this foolish story.
The late bio Lewis, of Boston, had an
establishment where he boarded patients
At one time fresh tomatoes were very
scarce, but the boarders kept calling for
them until the doctor was quite annoyed
Finally he said: slave you never learned
that tomatoes cause cancer?"
This put an end to the demand for he
fresh vegetable, but somebody went out
with the statement that DIR. Lewis claimed
that cancer and tomatoes went toget her
Thus, from this humble beginning, a
great fake has spread, and this is per haps

stories grow from mighty small germ.
