LITTLE KNOWN FACTS
Babies normally lose weight
immediately after birth, but a
good-sized baby who gets for-
mula from the start usually
begins to gain it back in two
or three days. The breast-fed
baby will be slower than the
bottle-fed baby in regaining
birth weight.

are based on the physician’s knowledge of that person’s condition.
You cannot assume that because you have what seems like a similar
condition that the medication will be safe and effective for you.

Some Do’s And Don’ts
In Handling Your Prescription Drugs
Keep medications in the container in which they come and generally
in a cool, dry place. Although most containers used to dispense
drugsare designed to protect drugs from moisture and light, they
should not be stored where there is excessive humidity [bathroom
cabinet] or direct sunlight [window sill].

The courteous and gracious
reception of the Mississippi
governor was in sharp contrast
to that of his Missouri counter-
part who called out the state
National Guard to keep the
tractorcade off the interstate
highway, thus forcing them to
travel through on the state on a
2-lane highway.

when they left Atlanta, Ga. an
airplane flew back and forth
over the column the biggest part
of the day.
From a check instituted by
Doyle Wayne Parnell, who
noted the plane’s number and
description, it was determined
to be a plane owned by the State
of Georgia.
It was while they were at
Charlotte, N.C. that Parnell was
not allowed to pay for having his
50-gallon diesel tank filled.
The farmers reported nume-
rous similar incidents of support
they received at various points
of their travel. People often
lined the highway and waved
and cheered them on, according
to different ones.
