P . _. Chances are, says the , AMA, i^our supply of potential poisons is not so, well hidden. Seemingly harmless household items—^items which cause half a million acci- d^r^l poisonings in, our country eaM year—are probably stored in every room of your house. Be fore so.T.eone finds them acciden tally, look for these items: Kitchen killers may include household chemicals such as de tergents, ammonia, silver and brass polishes, disinfectants, room deodorants and insect poi sons. They may be under the kitchen sink in easy reach of children, ' Medicines cause most acci- JentaT poisonings in children, and aspirin leads the pack. Cos metics, deodorants, shaving lo -ion and unlabeled medicine can poison adults who take them in -he dark without reading the la bels.” "The home workshop has its dangers, too. Children are curi ous enough to drink paints, lac quers, varnishes and turpentine, especially, if you leave these cheunicals ki empty soft drink bottles. ♦Garden -aids, such us Insect sprays, weed killers and fertiliz ers may benefit your plants, but they can kill children. Store gar den chemicals out of Teflich of children. When applying, keep preparations away from eyes, nose, mouth and skin. ‘In the bedroom, never leave cosmetics and pills on tabletops or in low drawers where children can find them. Mothballs are a hazard if you store winter clothes in a low chest or drawer that children can reach. Some finad precautions—^label ev'erything, keep medicine in a locked cabinet, never store chem icals in food or beverage contain ers or on food shelves, date medi cines and discard oid .dnigs, .use only prescriptions ordered for you.by a physician, do not con taminate food or utensils with in sect sprays, aerosols, rat poisona, weed killers or cleaning agents, and, keep potential poisons out of children’s reach. Womeris Health ASPIRLN WARNING Louisville, Ky. (VV^LNS)—What is small, pleasant-tasting, and harmless-looking, but dangerous if handled carelessly? Children’s aspirin, Louisville physician. Dr. A. A. Shaper, points out—espe cially when it comes in packages of 50. Dr. Sh-apor explaini'd in a let ter to a medical publication that the usual bottle of 50 aspirins to tals up to 62.5 grains, sufficient to kill a young child. He says that thousands of children re quire emergency hospital treat ment for aspirin poisoning, .and that 150 children under five years of age die every year as a result of gobbling quantities of the drug. The physician supports a bill (S.2404) introduced in the last session of Congress that would limit by law the quantity of aspirin permitted ip a pacH- tie.” j MEDICAL INDICATIONS TOR BIRTH CONTROL PILLS BeVlin, West Germany tWMN S) — Here are some reasons that oral contraceptive pills were scribed for 92 German women, according to Dr. W. Kloss, of Berlin Free University: A cer tain number of women needed to avoid pregnancy for compelling health reasons. Among these were RH incompatibility, which might have led to defective ba bies; tuberculosis, which might have become worse as a result of pregnancly; nervous disease that had to be treated free of the co.nplication of pregnancy. - Another group of women were given ‘‘the pill” for therapeutic reasons: to eliminate the pro blems of painful and irregular menstruation. Results? Eleven of the twelve -women with painful menstruation were completely re lieved or improved, and 21 wom en with irregular periods became But, as Dr. .Shaper told Wom en’s Medical News Service, ‘‘Edu cation of parents comes first in reducing the number- of poison-1 regular ings. If parents are careless there None of the women in either will be trouble — even though ! group becai.me pregnant during there are fewer tablets per bot- | the period of the trial with ‘‘the pills.” One unexpected bonus: Six women v/ho had acne at the time they started taking ' “the pill,” found that the condition cleared up while they were on it. 3MOKLNG HURTS UNBORN, .4LSO FELLS ADUL'TS Washington. D. C. (WMNS) — If too much of a good thing can be bad for you, too much of a bad thing can be worse for you. .\t least that seems to be the moral of the following reports having to do with smoking. There is wide agreement that cigarette smoking is bad for the health; But while people who smoke one pack of cigarettes a day are not confined tp bed witt llness mote often than non smokers, people who smoke tw( packs or more a day are bedded down with illnesses of varioue kinds more frequently than the moderate or nonsmokers. ’That’s wjiat the National Center foi Health Statistics reported recent ly. Two army obstetrician-gyneco logists and a- civilian colleague report that in a study of 7,74C patients with uncomplicated preg nancies, the over-all incidence of prematurity was significantly higher for those who smoked during pregnancy. The more smoking, -the study showed, the greater the problem.
