The young doctor, a strong
advocate of early ambulation,
was explaining it to a patient
about to have his appendix re-
moved. "A few hours after the
operation I want you to sit on
the edge of your bed and dan-
gle your legs. After lunch I
want you to stand on your feet
for a few minutes. By dinner
time, I want you to be walk-
ing around the room." "Doc-
tor," the patient sighed wear-
ily, "do you mind if I lie down
for the operation?"

Christmas Plants
And Toddlers
At Christmas, a few addi-
tional hazards exist around most
homes that are very harmful to
tasting toddlers. The Ontario
Safety League says Poinsettia,
for example, could prove lethal
to a child who swallowed even
one leaf. Berries from mistle-
toe and holly, Jerusalem Cher-
ry and Dieffenbachia are all ex-
tremely poisonous. Dieffen-
bachia, in fact, produces an
immediate reaction causing the
mouth and tongue to swell pain-
fully, which accounts for anoth-
er name sometimes given it,
"dumb cane".
Luckily not many cases of
this kind of poisoning are treat-
ed by poison control centres, in
comparison to the tremendous
number of children who swallow
too many headache tablets,
furniture polish or turpentine.
But the possibility is a big one,
for red berries particularly look
attractive to an experimental
youngster, and if a plant is kept
on the coffee table within his
reach he may be tempted to
nibble.
An unpleasant taste won't
necessarily stop a toddler from
eating something, either, as is
proved dozens of times over by
small tots who pop moth balls
or insecticide powder into their
mouths, or manage to drink
bleach or drain cleaner with dis-
astrous results.
Since the indiscriminate
tasting habit is strongest during
the pre-school years, it doesn't
seem much of a hardship for
parents to keep those exotic
plants out of a small tot's reach.
