Tomatoes for Children - There is no better remedy for the derangement of the bowels in children while teething than stewed tomatoes, feed to them plentifully, care to be taken to keep the child extremities warm. Be careful not to cover its necks and arms, especially of an evening; give it crushed ice to assuage thirst, if possible rather than give it water.; avoid cordials as they only produce fever. The tomatoes ought to be ripe and flesh, though the vegetable preserved in cans has been used with great success.
