can be split roughly into two
sections-prescription drugs. like
cortisone. and patent medicines,
like cough drops.
Patent medicines, heavily ad-
vertised through all media, are
those that can be purchased
without prescription. Prescrip-
ton drugs have to be carefully
mixed, or compounded by the
professional druggist on orders
from a doctor.
Research Costs Added.
For these prescription drugs,
at least for the latest batch of
so-called wonder drugs" Gus
toners are paying the price of
research to find the new drug.
Added to that is the profess
sional" service Of the druggist.
Until the market is swamped
with a new drug as other manu-
facturers take up it's production
it can cost any where up to SIS
a dose, and sometimes more.
Penicillin. which once sold for SIS
to SO per 10000 units, now goes
for IL cents for the same
amount.
One reason there seems to be
a continuous stream of people
into each drugstore was ex-
planned by druggist who
frankly said, 1--WE get the Gus
toner coming and going"
"A lot of people," he contin-
ued, diagnose their own all
mentS. then drop by the drug
store and choose a patent medi-
cine. When it doesn't work, they
look up their doctor and even

tually wind up back IN the same
drugstore-thiS time with .
prescription"
Must Stock Each Drug.
Still, at least to may pharma-
cists. the drug business is getting
out Of hand.
Druggists, to run a successful
business. must add to already
mounting stockpiles every con-
ceivable combination of drugs
and the latest batch of completely
new ones. Local wholesalers say
at least three new drugs are
added to the market each week.
These new" drugs, according
to pharmacists, are actually a
collection into one type of a
number of other drugs. The
competition among the big drug
manufacturers is hot. with each
one trying to "out-drug" the
other with a new cure for some
thing. There are so many forms
of penicillin under different
brand names the druggist finds
it impossible to tell just how
much penicillin he sells each
year.
What bothers the druggist
most is this. It's in having to fill
a doctors prescription with
drug under the brand name in
stead of the drug itself. He may
have. as an example, plenty of
penicillin on hand-but not un-
der the label the doctor specifies.
If he tells the customer he
doesn't have it. the customer
goes across the street to another
If he tells the customer
Zero Penicillin" is just as good
as Acme Penicillin" he's counter
prescribing and that's taboo.
May Borrow 1t.
Sometimes he calls up the doc
tor and gets his nod to go ahead
and fill the order with what he
has on hand. Sometimes he'll
borrow from the druggist across
the street portion of Zero and
sooner or later lend some Acme
to the same man.
Meanwhile, representatives of
the manufacturers are dropping
by the doctors office with 8 few
samples of "Zeracme Penicillin."
The new zeracme, it has been
found. is bit better than Zero
or Acme penicillin-even put to-
gether. 1t won't be long before

utes to a couple of hours with
each one. One prescription
costs, on the average, about
$1.84.
Druggists take a dim view of
most of the patent medicines,
yet point out some are beneficial.
So long as they don't hurt any,
body, they sell them.
One patent medicine was at
one time advertising it was effec-
tive in the treatment of fatigue,
nervousness, loss of appetite, ir-
ritability, depression. poor COM
plexion. arthritis, gall bladder
trouble, stomach trouble, indi-
gestion. rheumatism. muscular
aches and pains"
And a number of other "medi-
cines" in the patent field have
been very successful because of
their high alcoholic content.
People seemed to be feeling bet
ter after a dose.
Vitamins are still a big seller.
One pharmacist said they are
considered a necessity in many
families. Another pointed up
their success when he said: "Peo-
pie feel awful when they stop
taking vitamins-So they usually
start up again."
One pharmacist feels the ia
miliar soda fountain may be
passing, at least in drugStores.
The pharmacist, who usually
runs the store, has too much to
handle in the drug department
to take time with the fountain
and the personnel behind it.
Some have rented their foun-
tains.
In big shopping centers. the
druggist now is renting his store
from the builder in many cases.
And pharmacists are disturbed
with the trend groceries are
taking up. Bottled medicines or
drugs are beginning to appear
on the same self service shelf
beside tomato juice.
A spokesman for the District
Pharmaceutical Association said
that most druggists when they
start out in the drug field today
find they have to be businessmen.
There's more to it than mixing
drugs.
To meet this problem a new
course is being added to most
colleges of pharmacy-one IN
business administration.
