An account of paper dolls from 1855 to post World War I shows how hand drawn dolls evolved with cheaper wood pulp paper after 1867. Early dolls used scraps like wallpaper and medicine handbills, with lavish costumes and accessories reflecting changing fashions before mass production diminished their craft appeal.
Tots tested new childproof medicine containers using jelly beans and pennies to try to access contents. Researchers celebrated after children failed to open vials. The test followed a Public Health Service warning that over half a million Americans were poisoned at home, many under five, due to access to medicines like aspirin.
A consumer safety note explains avoiding sharp edged or small removable parts in toddler gifts. It details Med-A-Safe Inc. vials with a palm press cap that opens by disengaging lugs, cites Dr. R G Scherz on reduced poisonings at Madigan General Hospital and McChord AFB, and notes backing by the National Safety Council with adoption in military installations and proposed federal action. It ends by asking how to childproof containers when strong children defeat tops and urges obedience to keep medicines away.
