Medical Society There are generally two ways of doing most everything — the right way and the wrong way And this applies to taking medicine. When medicine is prescribed for you it is prescribed for you alone, no one else, and it should be taken in the exact dose at the proper time for it to best do its job Since some prescription medicines can be dangerous if taken improperly, the North Carolina Medical Society offers a few useful directions — Store medicine in a cabinet, preferably locked, away from the reach of children. — Keep only those medicines that you are currently using. — Destroy old prescriptions because many drugs lose potency or become chemically changed over a period of time. — Never take medicine in the dark; it’s too easy to make a mistake. If it’s late at night, turn the light on. If you wear glasses for reading, put them on. — Keep medicine in the original container to avoid confusing them with other medicines. If you use a pill container paste a small label on the outside of the lid. — Keep medicines away from the bedside table. Make it necessary to get up and cross the room to take them. It is too easy to take an overdose of the medicine by accidently repeating it during the middle of the night when you are sleepy. — If you have more than one container of pills or capsules to take, make sure one is closed before taking the other. This avoids mix-ups. — When pouring from the bottle, keep the label facing up so that if anything drips down the side of the bottle it will not discolor the label and make it hard to read — Avoid using medicine for children that is disguised as candy The child may like it,so much that he’ll find the medicine and take the whole bottle. Azaleas And Rhododendrons Washington, D C.., October 4 — Azaleas and rhododendrons thrive in fairly mild and humid climates along seacoasts, the southern shoreline of Lake Erie, and throughout the Appalachian Mountains. But homeowners in less favorable climates can also set their yards ablaze with azalea and rhododendron colors by following a few easy rules for their planting and care. These are fully explained in the newly revised publication, "Growing Azaleas and Rhododendrons ', just released by the U S. Department of Agriculture's Science and Education Administration (SEA). The key is to plant the right varieties for your area, maintain the right soil acidity, and protect the plants from insects and disease The publication covers how to do this in detail, and provides information on mulching, weeding, watering, fertilizing, and pruning for total plant care. The publication was written by Erik A. Neumann, curator of education at the U. S. National Arboretum in Washington, D. C., and Ralph E. Webb, entomologist at the Agricultural Research Center in Beltsville, Md. For a free copy of “Growing Azaleas and Rhododendrons", Home and Garden Bulletin, 71’ write to U. S.
