It is as good as it looks, though some people shy away from it because of its acidity. For those who must exercise this kind of care, tomatoes are better eaten raw than cooked. Yet it is precisely the acidity of the tomato, along with its high content of vitamins and minerals, that makes it an effective agent against:
Stomach Acidity
Viscosity of the blood
Constipation
Kidney and bladder stones
Uremia
Gout and Arthritis
GOUT AND RHEUMATISM
Recommended a large glass of freshly pressed juice every day throughout
the summer. For a refinement of flavor, add bit of celery juice to it.
INSECTS
The special fragrance of the tomato leaves,
like mild cinnamon, is pleasing to our senses but apparently not so to insects.
Thus your row of tomato plants
in the garden is protecting all the other vegetables from bugs and worms.
If you hand a bouquet of dried tomato leaves in all the rooms of your house,
you will not be troubled with flies, mosquitoes, or spiders.
