Poison experts warn that first aid advice on labels often worsens cases, causing unnecessary ER visits and even deaths. Officials cite examples from Lysol and Moth balls, noting milk or water could trigger vomiting and complicate treatment, with regulators and manufacturers at odds over oversight.

Marriage rate declines despite rising marriages in 1969 to 1984
Demographers note that while absolute marriages rise, the marriage rate for eligible women fell from 80 per 1000 in 1969 to 59.5 in 1984. Postponement is suspected, with declines among younger brides and increases for those 25 and older. Divorces boost nuptials and alter rates.
