where nobody ever expected to

musical sounds with the follow

Egg shells ground in a cheese

marbles in it. Wax paper
crumpled near the microphone.
Water poured from a bottle into

held against the blades of an
electric fan. A watermelon being
pounded and slapped. A branch
with dead leaves being shaken.
The whistle of a tea kettle,
Squeaky door hinges. Water
dropped on a hot iron. Typine

a hollow pipe.

"EthieuI" Drugs Pick Your Poekef

Anti-Pain-Atomic Capsules, which cost
four times as much?
Because the young medical student,
like the engineer, learns his formulae
and prescriptions by analysis-and
fOrgets them as quickly as he leaves
school, Abrahamson says. The engi-
neer relies on his handbook; the doc
tor on special cOncOctions of the drug
companies.
A pharmacist in milling the prescrip-
ton can't change it. He may know that
the ti-Pain-Atomic Capsules are just
aspirin. But woe to him if he uses
plain aspirin.
SO the drug houses send their push
ers" out to sell the doctors on their
brand-name or ethical" drugs AS the
ANA discovered, the brand name
triples the price-without adding
particle of value.
This means tremendous profits for
the drug industry. Abrahamson points
to one drug firm that has 2386 of it's
employees engaged in research, yet is
making soc profit on every sales
