drugs do not live up to eXpecta-
tions and are prescribed for only
short while. A bottle of 100 pills

are a total loss, so eventually are
dumped into the mistake" apothe-
cary jar. They are reminder of
an error committed by drug
company that introduced drug
which didn't last long, either be-
cause it didn't do as good job
as was expected of it, or because
it was replaced by a superior
product
Howard Jones, the other phar-
macist on duty this day, recalled
tablet which was used to make
penicillin work longer in the sys-
tenn, thereby reducing the number
OF penicillin tablets a patient need
take. In those days penicillin tab
lets cost nine dollars a dozen, or
75c each, and this new drug cost
only zoe a dose BY using the new
drug penicillin tablets a day
would do the job Of six. Then,
Just after the drug store had
stocked a bottle of thousand of
the new drug and had dispensed
only about 60 from the bottle, the
price of penicillin was reduced to
six dollars a dozen pills and there
was no longer any use for the new
drug there are $40 of those
pills in the mistake" jar. Incl
dentally, the price of that par
ticular penicillin that had sold for
seventy-five cents now costs less
than ten cents.
The pharmacist explained to me
that prescription drugs can be
sold only on prescription, and
therefore every time bottle is
opened and a few tablets are
counted out, or whenever the seal
is broken on a bottle of liquid
medicine, the store stands to lose
money if that particular medicine
is not ordered again. In fact, it is
only the last portion of pills or
liquid in the bottle that represents
profit, since most of the contents
must be sold in order to pay for
the original cost of the preparation
from the manufacturer.

Bribery In Sporting Contests Bill
Judiciary Subcommittee A is now
holding hearings on the Bribery

The bill would add a new section

Code making it a criminal offense

gree on our communications sys-

The effect of the population eX-
plosion on the world and par
ticularly on the United States is
one of the most serious threats to
welfare, security and peace we face
today. Few of us realize the far
reaching effects this accelerated
rate of growth in world popula-
tion can have on our individual
lives.
During the past week l was
fortunate to be invited by George

ticipate in the American Assembly
to consider this subiect-a three
day session held at Warrenton,
Virginia The Assembly included
prominent Americans in the field
of government, education, business

We were all concerned by the
statistics on the enormous growth
of population-from about a quar-
ter-of-a-billion people in the entire
world at the time of the birth of
Christ to an estimated 8-billion by
the year 2O10, only 35 years from

House Appropriates 100000 For

the entire amount requested by the

of the project.
This is certainly good news to
all of us in Maryland's Sixth Dis
