The .parents are highly respected in aur neighborhood. Last week I learned that the children are given paregoric 4 nearly every day. They get pare. goric for colds, restlessness or just to put them to sleep. Be. fore the mother left Iasi Satur. day eveine. she told soy daughter to give each child a teaspoon of paregoric at bedtiln ^ "if they seem cranky," -My daughter call- ed and wanted to know if she should .do it. i teId 'her "no."

She eeplied, "I Have taken paregoric nearly every day for years,and it has >;iever-hurt me a • I ata not going to . allow our ° b. •- daughter- to baby sit for these people unless you tell me it is all right. I'm afraid the children will become drug addicts arid I don't waist my daughter to be a party to it. Please -set me straight if I am wrong. I would ask our family doctor about this but I'd feei foolish,—Worried. Dear Worried: I asked a doctor and didn't feel onebit foolish. He told me paregoric has an opium base, but it would take a great deal more than a teaspoon a day topro. duce addiction. He certainly woald NOT prescribe it for regular use by children. Paregoric can be obtained without a prescription. Iri most states, however; the person who buys paregoric must register his name with the druggist.
