National Poison Prevention Week • 1970 ,
President Richard Nixon in Proclamation 3954 has designated the week beginning March 15, 1970, as National Poiaon Prevention Week. The text of the proclamation follows: The number of deaths among children | because of poisoning continues to I decline. Many segments of our
( society have worked together to achieve this result and we can be proud of their efforts.
However, despite the progress we have made, the potential for poisoning is increasing. Medicines are being used more widely than before, and our advancing technology continues to make available for household use new products and materials which may be harmful if used improperly.
It is more important than ever before that medicines be kept out of the reach of children, as well as household cleaners. The warning on medicines also goes to adults. Always read the label before using any preparation. Follow the direction; never take more than what is recommended. Dispose of unused prescription drugs when they are no longer needed or when illness is over.
A warning should also be given on the use of vitamins. Never give vitamins to a child unless they are recommended by a doctor. The reason for this is that there are two vitamins: A and D that are stored in the body. A buildup of these or a great excess can result in crippling and blindness, and has in some cases resulted in death. If a child is receiving good nutritious food daily, vitamin supplements are not needed. Let’s observe National Poison Prevention Week by thinking of the poison hazards that exist in our homes and removing them. We may not have children, but children do visit and do explore.
