—Lancaster Farming, Saturday, September 16. 1972 30 Save The Children NEW YORK (ED) Every child starts his life with the see-me, feel-me, touch-me syn drome. The most common-place items can fascinate a child: a pair of eyeglasses, a chain, keys, and pills.

Accidental poisonings aver age 600,000 a year in the one to five age group, according to U.S. Public Health Service fig ures. As Dr. Milton Westphal, director of the Buffalo Poison Control Center, explains: “The toddler has the ability to get hold of things but he lacks the judgment as to what he can or cannot put in his mouth. It’s surprising what horrible-tast ing stuff he will swallow.” Some of the items: ammonia, detergents, diet pills, cough syr up and aspirin. Aspirin usu ally play a very minor part in, accidental poisonings, except ot y* 0 ° with children under four—even then, it’s the 5-grain unfavored ndult aspirin that leads to the most serious trouble. But even one accidental poisoning caused by jm overdose of aspirin is one too many. That’s why the mak ers of St. Joseph Aspirin for Children are now packaging its aspirin in bottles with safety caps on them. These safety clos ures, made of plastic, make it more difficult for toddlers to open the bottles and get at the tablets. In addition to buying aspirin that are packaged in safety closures, follow these safety rules 1 Keep all household chemicals and medicines not only out ot reach but out of sight and under lock and key, if possible. 2. Don’t tell children that med icines are or taste like candy or soft drinks. 3. Throw away all unmaikeii drug and household supplies. Keep items’ in original con tainers. 4. Don’t let children play with purse pill boxes and bottles, cosmetics, etc. 5. Never give or take medicine in the dark. Read all labels carefully. 3. Post a First Aid Chart in your medicine cabinet. 1. Keep the number of youi doctor and pharmacist han dy. They’ll know how to reach the nearest Poison Control Center quickly If your child should swallow a toxic substance, call a doctor immediately. Dilute the poison by giving him warm fluids to induce vomiting. Use the anti dote listed on the container of poison or give the emergency universal antidote ot: Crushed burnt toast 2 tablespoons, Strong tea 1 tablespoon, Milk of Magnesia 1 table spoon. Mix these ingredients in Yz glass of water and give to the child. Do not induce vomit ing if the poison is a strong acid, alkali, kerosene or gas oline. Accidental poisoning can be prevented. But it is the re sponsibility of every parent to provide a safe environment for the child. Let’s protect our children from senseless acci dents!
