Medicine Cabinets

ROBERT COHEN M.D.

I would like to add a word or two regarding medicine cabinets. As a former member of the American Academy of Pediatrics Accident Prevention Committee of the southern California section I displayed a model of a safety medicine cabinet. An electric switch was installed on the top shelf. It was the same type that lights the bulb in refrigerators or when automobile doors are open. The only modification was that instead of turning on the light when the medicine cabinet door was open it rang a shrill alarm that could be heard throughout the entire house.
