a life-line system for those

in the weather?’
Provincial Advisory Committee repre-
sentative member Vivian McDonald
advised the group to be wary of tele-
phone scams. Always check the tele-
phone area exchange you are calling.
She said the Telehealth system is working
efficiently. A healthful hint is to always
wash the tops of canned goods and boxes
as several types of bacteria could be on
the tops.

group that poverty is everyone's business.

Today, Steven Truscott is in his mid-
fifties, a devoted husband, father and
grandfather. He is a model citizen.
But he is still a convicted killer. This

important leads that were kept from
the defence, the judge and jurors. A
book every local will need to have in
their library

Huron Apothecary Ltd.
Electroconvulsive Therapy (ECT or shock
therapy) has the highest rate of response of
any form of antidepressant treatment.
Although its treatment by Hollywood can be
rather distorted, ECT does help a select group of severely
depressed patients. It was first used back in 1938 and is still
used today.
If you are travelling to a country where the water is suspect,
follow this rule: “Boil it, cook it, peel it or forget it”. When
brushing your teeth, use bottled water. Wash your hands
frequently while travelling. (You can buy small bottles of alcohol
for cleansing). Don’t take in any swimming pool or ocean water
while swimming and drink only bottled beverages in their
original container.
Pepto-Bismol Tablets (2 tabs 4xdaily) can be taken for
prevention of diarrhea. For treatment of diarrhea, the dose
changes to two tablets every 30 minutes for 8 doses. Be
aware, however, that this project contains salicylates so if you
are allergic to ASA, avoid it. It also causes black tongue and
black stools.
If you are giving liquid medication to children, you can be most
accurate if you use an oral syringe. These are usually marked in
teaspoons and millilitres for accurate measuring.
