For Children
Called Menace
Two Doctors Cite
Poisoninos Here
To Medical Society
BY CHARLES G. BROOKS
Star Staf Writer

Children'S aspirin favored
to attract young taste buds has
made aspirin poisoning a dan
gerous problem in the last two
years, two Washington doctors
reported today.
In a survey at Children's
HoSpital-the largest study of
its kind in the country-the
physicians found that 1872 chill
dren were admitted for aspirin
poisoning between April, 1856,
and March 1858. They rep
resented 2 per cent of all ad-
missions.
The study was made by DR..
Seymour Goldblatt, instructor
in pediatrics at the George
Washington University Medical
School. and DR.. Joseph M Lo-
Prestri, clinical associate pro-
fessor of pediatrics at the
Georgetown University Medical
School.
Medical Society Meeting
The report was presented at
the opening of the District
Medical Society's 28th annual
scientific assembly at the
Statl er-Hilton Hotel. The
meeting will continue through
Wednesday.
The doctors said they re-
viewed records of 476 patients.
all of whom were admitted for
eating or drinking poisons. The
1872 aspirin poisonings repre-
sented % per cent of these, or
one out of four. ~, ~
These figures were compared
with a 1948 study of $50 pa.
tients over a four-year period.
OF these, only eight involved
aspirin poisoning.
There is no doubt about
it," the doctors said. The
high increase is due to candy
favored aspirin" They said
they found candy aspirin re-.
sponsible for 70 per cent of the
aspirin poisonings.
Case Histories Similar
The histories of "a of these
cases we're practically identical,
the researchers said. Each had
been treated for a cold or upper
respiratory infection at home
with candy-flavored aspirin.
Each returned to the aspirin
bottle to get more within "a
hours.
Many mothers will tell q
child he is getting candy" DR..
LoPresti noted. mo wonder the
child goes back"
Eighty per cent Of the as
pirin poisonings involve chill
dren from 2 to 4. About half of
the patients were charity cases.
Halt were listed as private,
paying cases. Treating the 1872
cases cost $11,882, or an aver
age $50 hospital bill.
The doctors noted that
symptoms of aspirin poisoning
include vomiting. rapid breath
ing and drowineSs. They recon-
mended that vomiting be in
duced if it has not occurred.
Then the child should be
rushed to the hospital.

Few of the possibilities,

Clark couldn't help himself

had dropped his theme and was
engaged In a defense Of teen

The approach was the familiar
negative one Of comparing the
sillier novelties Of the '20s and

the attendant cliche that teen
ayers will be teen-agers.
The best that can be said Of
the musical potpourri which
transpired was that 1t moved

Stan Kenton, who seemed
startled at his inclusion. offered
q musical essay on The Orch

was lost on his associates. The

Frankie Avalon. who was on Ed

How to
STOP KILLING
YOURSELF
Kidneys Often Wrongly Blamed
By DR.. PETER }. STEINcRoHN

Remember the old adver-
tisements for kidney rem
edies?"
They usually depicted a
man, slightly bent over in
pain, covering the small Of
his back with his hands. The
medicine was supposed to
contain dozens of drugs;
guaranteed to fix the kid
neys."
MOST PEOPLE know to-
day that back pain is not
usually associated with kid
ney disease. More often it is
due to arthritis of the lower
spine, slipped disc or muscle
Sprain.
However, it is true that too
many still do not realize that
there are many varieties of
kidney trouble"
For example, a very COM
mon cause Of discomfort is
kidney collie, caused by stone
in a kidney or in the tube
called the ureter. The pain
reaches a climax as the stone
passes through the end of
the ureter and plops into the
urinary bladder.
Sometimes it will not pass
down by itself. The urologist

to do something about him
She brought him out, got him
to talk about himself, fixed
up dates for him.
Unfortunately, the dates
didn't work and now Lloyd
is in love with Daisy. He
goes around incoming after
her. I'm not worried or jeal-
Gus but I think Daisy ought
to do something quick to stop
this.
Daisy S.-David should
trust me to handle this thing
right. Lloyd is a very Sensi-
tive guy and I can't just boot
him out of my life now that
he has gotten to depend upon
me for sympathy.
I am trying to match him
up with a particular friend
Of mine. He tells me he can't
stand her, but I'm sure she's
the right one for him if only
he wouldn't think about me
all the time. He compares all
his dates to me and winds up
hating them.
David thinks I'm being silly,
but this thing has gotten a
little too serious to be just
swept away. If I don't treat
him nicely he might do some
thing desperate.

DEAR ABBY .
Liqht Without Heat Is Her Need
By ABIGAIL VAN BUREN,

DEAR ABBY: Sometimes I
wonder II maybe I am crazy
for putting up with this man
Of mine. Everything has to
be spic and span! He goes
on an inspection tour
looks in all the corners and
criticizes my housekeeping,
but he never turns a hand to
help me.
The other night he. looked
In my oven with a flashlight!
He yelled and stormed be-
cause he found a little grease
on the broiler. He made me
scrub it at II o'clock at night.
Now he looks in the oven
with a flashlight every day
to make sure I cleaned It.
What do you do with a nut
like that? NUTS WIFE.
Let him know that a little
light on the subject is all
right, but you can do with
out the "heat." Clean your
oven after each use and do
the best job Of housekeeping
your time and energy will
allow. If your husband still
finds fault but refuses to turn
a hand-yOu turn a deaf ear.

DEAR ABBY: How many

turn a man down before he
realizes that she wants
nothing to do with him?
I am a widow. Sc, but don't
look it. He is a bachelor, 70,
and looks 1t. This old geezer
has told everybody in town
that he is going to marry
me. I can't go downtown any
more without hearing it.
He has money but has a
reputation for being very
stingy. I know for a fact that
he has relatives on the other
side of the track who are
starving to death.
He sends me store flowers
and calls every day asking
me to go out with him. I
have run out Of excuses. How
can / get him to leave me
alone?

Quit giving him excuses"
and give him reasons. Tell
him, frankly, that he is

kidneys were all right.
And a mother said that
her little girl had just recov-
cred from kidney trouble.
But the burning on urina-
ton had been due to a "cys-

the bladder.
Kidney trouble" like
"rheumatiSm"-is often a
waste basket term for many
conditions unrelated to the
kidney.
