Tomatoes Do Not Cause Cancer.

In a late issue of the London Times appeared a letter to the editor conti ining the following: “There is a very prevalent idea that eating tomatoes is an exciting cause of cancer, and for the last two years we have been so inundated with letters on this subject that the medical committee of the Cancer Hospital would be greatly obliged by your publishing in the Times their opinion—Viz., that tomatoes neither predispose to nor excite cancer formation, and that they are not injurious to those suffering from this disease, but are, on th® contrary, a very wholesome article of diet, if properly cooked. We shall also be greatly obliged by other papers making this generally known. ■
