makers still generate sales
through detail men" who
troop from one doctors office
to another to tell about new
drugs and remind about old

The role of these generally
knowledgeable detail men is
often explained as educational.
They are said to quickly get

medical care-and sometimes
lower its overall costs by en-
abling a doctor to shorten
someone's illness or prevent
disqualification.
Doctors receive these detail
men-thereby tacitly acknowl-
edging that they provide a val

is reminiscent of the peddler
system which most manufac-
turers Abandoned years ago be-

Increasing Use May Offset
Drop in Price Of Medicine
BY WILLIAM GRIGG
star stair writer

Incredibly. Federal statistics
and those Of the drug industry
agree that drug prices have
been going down.
After rising In 1855, 1857 and
again In 1858, wholesale prices
for prescription drugs began
declining and appear to be
continuing to drop, according
to the industry.
The Department Of Health,
Education and WelfareIs sta
tiStics also show q rise and then
q decline. HEW's figures cover
selected prescription and retail
drugs ct retail.
The HEW index shows prices
increasing to mid-1959, levelink
and then, in late 1850. Begin
ming q decline. BY the end Of
last year. the prices had fallen
to slightly below their level at
the beginning Of 1858.
That's good news, Of course
and In fact the only example
of declining prices apparent in
any category Of medical care.
Miracle Drugs" Drop
The most spectacular de-
clines have been among the
miracle drugs" some OF which
dropped 80 per cent in whole
sale price in the last two or
three years, the Pharmaceuti-
cal Association reports.
This may have resulted from
better manufacturing TECH
niques, the paying off Of orig
inal investments or the de-
creasing need for advertising
and promoting antibioticS that
are well known.
Cut-rate retailers, especially
in the Washington area, must
have helped too. particularly in
lowering the costs Of non-pre-
scription drugs.
In the prescription field, how
ever, lower costs may well be
offset for the average consum.
er by his increasing use of
drugs, such as the new. regular.
ly taken birth control pills.
And in the purchase of nom
prescription drugs and vitamins
there Is q great deal of waste.
People in America are generally
overfed. stuffing. themselves
with twice as much food as they
should. according to one esti-
mate. Yet they often take vita
minis.
Often, the consumer also
chooses high-priced headache
products, instead Of the cheaper
ones. And he may pick up an
antibiotic throat lozenge when.
a salt-and-soda solution would
be just as effective.
Congress. which hast year
provided new controls to SAFE
guard the public from potential
dangers relating to prescription
drugs. failed to provide the Food
and Drug Administration with
broader powers over non-pre-
scription products.

There Is hope that prescrip-

such as synthetic" antibiotics.
The original antibiotics were
harvested. their production de-
pending on molds. fungi and
fermentation. Most Of them are
still grown, not made. Some
antibiotics are now being made
by synthetic. or chemical,
means. This may mean better
products. It may also mean
lower costs.
Narcotic pain killers have
also depended on harvesting
from plants such as the poppy.
Two laboratories now are test
ing synthetic compounds.
Production would be cheaper,
probably. and II the products
prove non-addicting, as hoped,

Fishnlan Hot
As Maryland
Scrinlr1ldges
BY STEVE GUBACK
Star staff Writer

1t may not have felt too much
like spring, since the wind was
strong and cold, but it sure
looked like it.
The University of Maryland's
1868 football team had its first
full scrimmage yesterday and
Jerry Fishman, a thick-legged,
220-pounder, YVES bowling 'em
over and busting through the
line like the fullback Coach
Tom Nugent always has
dreamed about.
This is not anything unusual.
Every spring, it seems, Fish,
man blooms along with the
crocus. In the fall, though, he's
usually a long way from the
sound Of the fury. He has a
history Of recurring leg trouble
that keeps him glued to the
training room bench.
IF I ever get TO the fall"
Fishman said, I'm sure I'll do
well, but something always
seems to happen. There are
calcium deposits in my leg and
rest is the only thing that
seems to help. They're mostly
gone now, though, hope"
Nugent, who watched his six
teams gallop for nine touch
downs, refused to get enthusi-
aStic over Fishman's work.
I've seen it happen before"
he said. I'm not going to get
optimistic over him until I see
him out there in the fall"
Actually, the Terps' top three
fullbacks all put on a power
display. Bob Burton, who ran
with the No. l unit, cracked
over for two touchdowns, as
did junior Jim Girardi, who ran
with the No. 3 group.
Nugent, still in the expert
menting stage, is testing his
big, power guys at fullback
now. He has shifted Len CHA
verini, last years starter who
led the conference in rushing,
to left half ahead of Ernie
Arizzi. This may be temporary.

the passing somewhat, so
