News about Pain Reliever Safety from the Makers of Tylenol

Serious Medicine: Use Only as Directed Recently, there’s been some discusaion about the safety of over — the — counter pain

relievers To help you make an informed decision about the right pain reliever for you,

it’s important to have as much information as possible Over ~ the - counter medicine is

serious medicine, and it’s important for you to read and follow the information on the la- bel and stay within the recommended doses

Tylenol Is Different

You may be surprised to know just how different pain relievera can be There are

two types: the ingredient in Tylenol, and NSAIDs (non — steroidal anti - inflammato- ries) such as aspirin, ibuprofen and naproxen eodium All these pain relievers provide

effective pain relief, however, one key difference between Tylenol and NSAIDs has to do

with side effects NSAIDs all work in the same way and tend to cause, to varying de-

grees, the same side effects With so many pain relievers to choose from, it’s especially important to read their labels and understand their possible side effects For example, if

you or someone in your family is among the tens of people who suffer from asthma or ul-

cers, if you're aspirin sensitive or taking certain medications, choosing the right pain re-

liever is even more important Doctors will tell you Tylenol ie your wisest choice

— 138 —

Of course, your best source of information regarding your choice of pain reliever is

your own doctor or pharmacist,

A Word about Alcholol

You may have seen some reports in the media about the consumption of alcohol and

pain relievers Lf you regularly consume significant amounts of alcohol, you should talk

to your doctor or pharmacist about any medication you're taking and, most_definitely ,

follow the instructions on the label

of these medications and alcohol In fact, we began adding the following waming on Ty-

lenol packages last year and we urge all manufacturers of pain relievers to do the same:

Hf you generally consume 3 of more alcohol - containing drinks per day, you should con-

sult your physician for advice on when and how you should take Tylenol and other pain

relievers ,

You can be assured, if you're an occasional moderate drinker, you can use Tylenol

with confidence When you weigh the relative risks of using other pain relievers com-

pared to Tylenol, you can understand why doctors recommend Tylenol more than any

other pain reliever, even for those who drink alcohol Tylenol is their first choice

Making the Right Choice

When used as directed, you can be confident knowing Tylenol is the safest type of

Questions 28 ~ 40

Read the passage below and answer the questions that follow

Tour Industry Rediscovers the Diversi Areas

1 In the opinion of some, including Scott McNiven, an American aid worker who has visited every national park in Uganda during his spare weekends over the past two years, “Uganda is the best place to

come for first — time visitors to Africa.”

2 Both the government and the travel industry have been quick to redesign and relaunch their tour- iam marketing after the murder in March of eight foreigners by Rwandan Hutu Interahamwe guerriilas in

Bwindi National Park

3 Bwindi had been touted as Uganda’s unique attraction, even though access was and is strictly lim-

ited — only 10 visitors per day are allowed to track the mountain gorillas in the park’s impenetrable forest

4 “The problem is that when we opened up tourism in this country, we used the gorillas as the bait

in our strategy,” says Ignatius Nakishero of the Uganda Tourist Board “We have learned our lesson, and are busy promoting our other products: bird - watching, nature - walking, sport fishing and cultural tour- lam Things have started gradually and are slowly picking up People are making inquiries and ,aa long

as nothing drastic happens, everything will be back to normal by mid — 2000.”

5 Tourism in Uganda is, in any case, about much more than gorilla tracking The points in

Uganda’s favor, says Mr McNiven, are the accessibility of game for viewing, the country’s unusual diversi-

ty, the constant improvements in the country’s travel facilities and the relative safety for travelers

Alone with lions and leopards

6 “The parks are not so crowded as those in Kenya and Tanzania, where you can have 20 minibuses

chasing one zebra,” says Mr McNiven.“ Here , you can sit almost alone watching lions and leopards for

more than an hour without interruption.” He adds that there is an atmosphere of general safety and wel- come throughout the country and a very low incidence of theft, especially compared with neighboring cou-

ntries that attract hundreds of thousands of tourists every year

7 Of the major game — viewing areas, Queen Elizabeth National Park has had no security problems

Ht rcenl yYeam Ít coniaims a huạe diversity 6Ÿ ecosysten 1neluding lakea, [orests and volcanic craters

with easy viewing of tions, elephanta, chimpanzees and monkevs as well as handreds of different bird

species The park is certain to become hetter known in the years ahead, especially sinee its 48 - room travel lodge at Mweva has been completely refurbished at a cost of $ 9 million by the Madhvam Group, with the aim of rivaling the best fodges in Kenya,

8 “We hope that Mweya will be the focal point for tourism in Uganda,” says the Madhvani project divector Farhan Nakhooda

9 Murchison Falls National Park is also recovering popularity as i

Falls Phe craft allows viewing not only of the falls where the Nile waters are forced through a gorge at places only 20 feet (six meters) wide, but also of the wide range of animals visible along the riverbanks

A high standard of accommodation is available at the new Sarova Para Lodge

From the city to the wild

10 Around Kampala, too, more attention is being paid to weekend sports, game — viewing and

cultural tourism within driving distance of the capital, which is itself only a few miles from the shores of lake Victona Sailing, noterboating fishing and island visits are all rapidly growing activities

1 1 The hotel developer Sudhir Ruparelia is investing substantially in the Speke Marina, an out ~

of — town waterside resort Beside the waters of the Nile, only two hour’ drive away, is the Jinja Nile Re- sort, owned by Kenya —- based Mada Hotels

1 2 The Bwindi incident has made security in Uganda an even greater priority than before The na- tional park authorities have embarked on rigorous paramilitary training of selected rangers, and the Ugan- dan army has increased ils presence in the western corridor of parks, including Queen Elizabeth, Kibale Ruwenzoli, Seniki and Murchison Falls,

1 3 “Security inside Uganda has improved in recent months,” confirms a British diplomat, whose

nvission now updates its travel advice every two weeks, giving very specific local information
