Prologue
Until very recently, vegetables, cereals and fruits were simply things to eat. In a way, everyone, physician and layman, understood that these substances satisfied the appetite and at the same time supplied fuel to the body. Beyond this fact neither physician nor layman had great knowledge.
All this has changed. Bio-chemistry, instituted by Schuessler of Germany, discovered the fundamental, that health and strength do not depend so much on the specific substances we ingest as food, as they do on the vital organic and mineral contents of these substances.
When first cultivated, the tomato was thought to be poisonous even by medical men of standing, was considered as a cause of cancer, and partaken of by few people. With its development into a large, luscious fruit-vegetable, the old idea was thrown into the discard with many other erroneous popular opinions, and the tomato was accepted both as wholesome food and as a delicacy. What is the real, though generally unknown reason for its popularity?
