Cautions
Do not use if you are taking water pills, since Black Currant Leaf can increase the amount of water loss from the body.
Consult a medical professional if you are taking anticoagulants or other medications.
Do not use if you have a hypersensitivity to aspirin or aspirin products.
Keep out of reach of children.
Not to be used by pregnant or nursing women.
Do not take Licorice if you have chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver, or any disease that impedes the flow of bile from the liver. Avoid it also if you have abnormal muscle tension, poor kidney function, or low potassium levels in your blood.
When taken in high dosages for an extended period of time, Licorice Root may lead to excessive loss of salt from the blood, water retention, high blood pressure, and heart irregularities. Because of the possibility of these side effects, limit your use of Licorice to 6 weeks. The side effects disappear after the drug is discontinued.
Licorice can increase the potassium loss caused by the other drugs, such as diuretics that flush excess water from the body (Diuril, Zaroxolyn, others). This potassium loss can, in turn, increase your sensitivity to drugs containing digitalis, such as the heart medication Lanoxin.
Licorice may also increase the effects, and unwanted side effects, of steroid medications such as prednisone (Deltasone).
Long term use of Senna as a laxative may lead to dependency.

In Times of War
Publisher's Notes At the close of the 20th century, childrenšs literature has seen a dramatic increase in books on the theme of war. There is, perhaps, a feeling that records need to be set straight and passed on to the generations of the 21st century and, more importantly, that children must learn about war and its consequences. In Times of War is an anthology of extracts, short stories, and poetry from childrenšs literature on the theme of war and peace; contributions include the work of distinguished writers and artists: Michael Foremanšs War Game, Judith Kerršs When Hitler Stole the Pink Rabbit, Michael Morpurgošs War Horse, Art Spiegelmanšs Maus, as well as pieces on more recent conflicts in Bosnia and Rwanda. This compelling anthology is the result of a collaboration of educators in Belgium, Britain, and Portugal; known collectively as the Comenius Project, they have chosen these books not only for their instructive value but for the sheer pleasure of their reading.
