Borrower:                                 Lender:

MEDI-HUT CO.,INC.,(TIN: 22-2436721)       PNC BANK, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION
1935 SWARTHMORE AVENUE                    TWO TOWER CENTER BOULEVARD
LAKEWOOD, NJ 08701                        EAST BRUNSWICH, NJ 08816
______________________________________________________________________________

                 Principal Amount: $150,000.00
                      Initial Rate: 11.500%
                  Date of Note: October 10, 1997

PROMISE TO PAY.  MEDI-HUT CO., INC.  ("Borrower") promises to pay PNC BANK,
NATIONAL ASSOCIATION ("Lender"), or order, in lawful money of the United
States of America, the principal amount of One Hundred Fifty Thousand & 00/100
Dollars ($150,000.00) or so much as may be outstanding, together with interest
on the unpaid outstanding principal balance of each advance.  Interest shall
be calculated from the date of each advance until repayment of each advance.
Borrower also promises to pay all applicable fees and expenses.

PAYMENT.  Borrower will pay this loan in accordance with the following payment
schedule:

    Borrower will pay regular monthly payments of accrued interest beginning
    NOVEMBER 10, 1997, and all subsequent interest payments are due on the
    same day of each month after that.  Borrower will pay this loan in one
    payment of all outstanding principal plus accrued unpaid interest on the
    Expiration Date.  Borrower may borrow, repay and reborrow hereunder until
    the Expiration Date, subject to the terms and conditions of this Note.
    The "Expiration Date" shall mean OCTOBER 10, 1998, or such later date as
    may be designated by written notice from Lender to Borrower.  Borrower
    acknowledges and agrees that in no event will Lender be under any
    obligation to extend or renew the loan or this Note beyond the initial
    Expiration Date.  In no event shall the aggregate unpaid principal amount
    of advances under this Note exceed the face amount of this Note.

The annual interest rate for this Note is computed on a 365/360 basis; that
is, by applying the ratio of the annual interest rate over a year of 360 days,
multiplied by the outstanding principal balance, multiplied by the actual
number of days the principal balance is outstanding.  Borrower will pay Lender
at Lender's address shown above or at such other place as Lender may designate
in writing.  Unless otherwise agreed or required by applicable law, payments
will be applied first to accrued unpaid interest, then to principal, and any
remaining amount to any unpaid collection costs and late charges.

VARIABLE INTEREST RATE.  The interest rate on this Note is subject to change
from time to time based on changes in an index which is the Lender's prime
rate (the "index").  The index is a rate per annum as publicly announced by
Lender from time to time as its prime rate.  The prime rate is not tied to any
external rate or index and it does not necessarily reflect the lowest rate of
interest actually charged by Lender to any particular class or category of
customers.  Lender will tell Borrower the current index rate upon Borrower's
request.  Borrower understands that Lender may make loans based on other rates
as well.  The interest rate change will not occur more often than each day.
The index currently is 8.500% per annum.  The interest rate to be applied to
the unpaid principal balance of this Note will be at a rate of 3.000
percentage points over the index, resulting in an initial rate of 11.500% per
annum.  NOTICE: Under no circumstances will the interest rate on this Note be
more than the maximum rate allowed by applicable law.

REPAYMENT.  Borrower may pay without penalty all or a portion of the amount
owed earlier than it is due.  Early payments will not, unless agreed to by
Lender in writing, relieve Borrower of Borrower's obligation to continue to
make payments of accrued unpaid interest.  Rather, they will reduce the
principal balance due.

LATE CHARGE.  If a payment is 15 days or more late, Borrower will be charged
5.000% of the unpaid portion of the regularly scheduled payment or $100.00,
whichever is less.  This late charge shall be paid to Lender by Borrower for
the purpose of defraying the expense incident to the handling of the
delinquent payment.

DEFAULT.  Borrower will be in default if any of the following happens: (a)
Borrower fails to make any payment when due.  (b) Borrower breaks any promise
Borrower has made to Lender, or Borrower fails to comply with or to perform
when due any other term, obligation, covenant, or condition contained in this
Note or any agreement related to this Note, or in any other agreement or loan
Borrower has with Lender.  (c) Any representation or statement made or
furnished to Lender by Borrower or on Borrower's behalf is false or misleading
in any material respect either now or at the time made or furnished.  (d)
Borrower becomes insolvent, a receiver is appointed for any part of Borrower's
property, Borrower makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or any
proceeding is commenced either by Borrower or against Borrower under any
bankruptcy or insolvency laws.  (e) Any creditor tries to take any of
Borrower's property on or in which Lender has a lien or security interest.
This includes a garnishment or levy on any of Borrower's accounts with Lender.
(f) Any guarantor dies or any of the other events described in this default
section occurs with respect to any guarantor of this Note.  (g) A material
adverse change occurs in Borrower's financial condition, or Lender believes
the prospect of payment or performance of the indebtedness is impaired.

LENDER'S RIGHTS.  Upon default, Lender may declare the entire unpaid principal
balance on this Note and all accrued unpaid interest immediately due, without
notice, and then Borrower will pay that amount.  Upon default, including
failure to pay upon final maturity, Lender, at its option, may also, if
permitted under applicable law, increase the variable interest rate on this
Note to 8.000 percentage points over the index.  The interest rate will not
exceed the maximum rate permitted by applicable law.  Lender may hire someone
else to help collect this Note if Borrower does not pay.  Borrower also will
pay Lender that amount.  This includes, subject to any limits under applicable
law, Lender's attorneys' fees and Lender's legal expenses whether or not there
is a lawsuit, including attorneys's fees and legal expenses for bankruptcy
proceedings (including efforts to modify or vacate any automatic stay or
injunction), appeals, and any anticipated post-judgement collection services.
If not prohibited by applicable law, Borrower also will pay any court costs,
in addition to all other sums provided by law.  This Note has been delivered
to Lender and accepted by Lender in the State of New Jersey.  If there is a
lawsuit, Borrower agrees upon Lender's request to submit to the jurisdiction
of the courts of MIDDLESEX County, the State of New Jersey.  Lender and
Borrower hereby waive the right to any jury trial in any action ,proceeding,
or counterclaim brought by either Lender or Borrower against the other.  This
Note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the
State of New Jersey.

interest, in and hereby assigns, conveys, delivers, pledges, and transfers to
Lender all Borrower's right, title and interest in and to, Borrower's accounts
with Lender (whether checking, savings, or some other account), including
without limitation all accounts held jointly with someone else and all
accounts Borrower may open in the future, excluding however all IRA and Keogh
accounts, and all trust accounts for which the grant of a security interest
would be prohibited by law.  Borrower authorizes Lender, to the extent
permitted by applicable law, to charge or setoff all sums owing on this Note
against any and all such accounts.

LINE OF CREDIT.  This Note evidences a revolving line of credit.  Advances
under this Note may be requested orally by Borrower or by an authorized
person.  Lender may, but need not, require that all oral requests be confirmed
in writing.  All communications, instructions, or directions by telephone or
otherwise to Lender are to be directed to Lender's office shown above.  The
following party or parties are authorized to request advances under the line
of credit until Lender receives from Borrower at Lender's address shown above
written notice of revocation of their authority: JOSEPH A. SANPIETRO,
