However. when the ETC tried
to get an injunction against the
ads, Federal District Judge
Archie o. Dawson In New York
ruled that mo average and rea-
sonable person would draw the

vertisirg as the commission did.
The ETC. which also has
other objections to the Bayer
ads, will argue its case again
April 10 in the New York Court

The st. Joseph's ads didn't
upset the ETC so much, prob

BY WILLIAM GRIGG
Star Staff Writer

The Federal Trade Commits
sion has found that the speedy
relief 1t sought some months
ago from the advertising Of
pain-killers has resulted in new
distress.
Stunning glass stomachs and
insistent claims. the ETC de-
cided to support some medical
research on the action Of these
pain killers on humans.
In December, three Baltimore
researchers working on one
FrC-supported project announ-
ced that in testing st. Joseph's
and Bayer aspirins, Bufferin,
Anacin and Excedrin in 2se
maternity cases, they had found
that plain aspirin worked as
well as the higher priced COM
pounds.
The researchers-Dr. Thomas
j. DeKornfield. DR.. Louis La
sagna and Todd M. Frazier, O
statistician--Said also that In so
elderly patients, phenacetin-
containing Anacin and Exceed
rim caused more stomach up-
sets than the other products.
They said the aspirins and
Bufferin were reported 10 cause
roughly the same number OF
upsets as a "placebo." Placebos
are inert pills with no active
ingredients. Laymen call them
sugar pills." sometimes, though
the term is inaccurate.
The trouble now Is that the
FTc-supported project has
been used as the basis for two
advertising campaigns (for
Bayer and st. Josephs) both Of
which, the FrC contends, mis-
represent the facts.
The FTC asserts that the
phrases in the Bayer ads say
ing the study was government
supported" and reported in the
Journal Of the American Medi-
cal Association" were mislead-
ing since they implied that the
Government and the ANA APP
proved the results Of the study.
