A fit and healthy teenage rugby player died 12 hours after taking treatment for acne (粉刺), an officer, Mary Hassel, said today. She said Shaun Jones, 14, died “as a result of complications (并发症) of medical treatment”.

Shaun, who was described by his mother as “vain” about his appearance, saw Dr Jones, his family doctor, about spots on his back and shoulders after learning his friends had been given medication to deal with similar problems.

The boy, who had previously used Clearasil to treat the spots, was diagnosed with mild acne and given a prescription. But when he went to his local chemist’s with his mother, he was told the drug was not available. They said they had contacted Dr Jones (in fact they didn’t), and Shaun could be given different pills which were the same as the drug originally prescribed．Mrs. Jones noticed there was no safety instructions included in the box, but thought nothing of it at the time.

Shaun took the drug just before going to bed at 10:30 pm. Little more than an hour later, he complained of shortness of breath and tightness in his chest. Mrs. Jones initially contacted an out-of-hours GP service but was told no doctor was available. When Shaun’s condition became worse, he was rushed to the Royal Glamorgan Hospital by ambulance in the early hours of the next morning.

Despite treatment there, and at the University Hospital of Wales, Cardiff, where he was transferred, Shaun died at 10:40 am the following day. Doctors at the hospital believe an unusual reaction to the acne drug could have caused his death.

Hassel said she would write a report to the Lord Chancellor’s office underlining the importance that “doctors prescribe drugs and doctors make adjustments and patients receive drugs with the correct information attached”.

　　In the United States, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” about. It is the, story of someone who tries to look as rich as his neighbors.

　　The expression was first used in 1913 by a young ,American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself： He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. He got married and mowed with Ms. wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw,that rich people rode horses, Monand went horseback riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Monand and his wife also hired（雇佣）a servant and gave big parties for. their new neighbors.

　　It was like a race, but one could never finish it because one was always, trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife. when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.

　　Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich life style of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich life style of the people around you. Momand's series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.

　　People never seems to get tried of keeping up the Joneses. And there are Joneses. And there are “Joneses”in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does, Mr.Joneses always seems to be ahead.
